I think this long series was commissioned before they announced they were canning benefits stuff so this should be the end of it.

Why do they continue making Suspects with those numbers? It's the telly equivalent of vanity publishing if you ask me - Bit of window-dressing in amongst the execrable tat they air the rest of the time.

I would like to have seen Suspects do closer to a million as frankly it deserves so, but a respectable figure and I'm sure it will consolidate well.
Wondering how their panel show It's Not Me It's You will perform in a CBB sandwich tomorrow as I think previous episodes have struggled. That or acquire a MAJOR comedy from America that's gonna get them mega ratings. |

If Channel 5 want a police procedural, wouldn't they be better served from a ratings perspective by simply bringing back "The Bill"?

Not sure whether this is sensible given peaktime Crimewatch was already in decline. I would have thought a move post BBC News at Ten would have been better than a Watchdog-esque weekly series - assuming these weekly shows are retaining the 9pm hour-long slot. Still, if it means more crimes can be solved, it's no bad thing.

An hour of Crimewatch is a lot every week, especially as the subject matter I reckon actively puts a lot of people off these days. I thought it might be a 30min slot to be honest.
I used to watch Crimewatch quite regularly back in its Nick Ross / Sue Cook / Jill Dando days but ever since they started to edit the reconstructions with suspenseful background music and as mini "thriller" type films, its credibility has been stretched for me. |

Be fascinating to see the share for the Olympic Opening Ceremony tonight, surely we must be on for a record. We've had them in the small hours before but they're much bigger business for the general audience now than they were in, for example, Atlanta in 1996. I'm baffled by ITV ripping up the schedule on Sunday teatime to show the Arsenal vs Man City friendly. I know ITV want as much football as they can get but it seems bizarre to have something in that slot in that particular weekend. I know Countryfile is on as usual but none of the rest of the BBC1 Sunday teatime line-up is and surely if anyone is running away from BBC1 because it's all sport, potentially gifting ITV a larger audience, they're putting on more sport. Would seem to totally alienate the audience. And sports fans themselves will be watching the Olympics, or the other live football on Sky and BT at the same time. Also, showing a pre-season friendly can't help but look a bit desperate. Quote:

That was around the period when C5 were moving upmarket and investing in a lot more quality content, they started making more comedy which was welcome. The problem then, and it is now, is that it probably isn't distinctive enough to really stand out and demand to be watched. So they did a Room 101-style series called God Almighty with Clive Anderson which was amiable viewing, it was probably just as entertaining as Room 101. But you know, we already had Room 101. It's the same with It's Not Me It's You, really, it apes the format of Celebrity Juice so much it will never come out of its shadow and will always be the-show-that's-a-bit-like-Celebrity-Juice-and-is-alright-but-not-as-good-as-Celebrity-Juice-so-I'm-not-bothered-if-I-miss-it-unlike-Celebrity-Juice. What C5 really need is to find a genre they can get in first with and own and become the destination to watch. Celebrity Juice is a good example because before that ITV2 wasn't doing anything much, but it was something different that other channels weren't doing and it was a bit of a USP. Now you have these other similar shows on ITV2 like Safeword, which are probably no better than It's Not Me It's You but they'll have a bit more traction with viewers because they're from the same channel as Celebrity Juice and go in its slot and instantly have a head start. What the genre that C5 can own is, I don't know. That's their job. Quote:

I don't know if peaktime Crimewatch is declining, or at least no worse than anything else in peaktime. Quote:
If Kelly wasn't the daughter of a very successful footballer, I think it could be considered doubtful that she would have got the Channel 5 gig in the first place.

Cash Trapped is slowly dropping to poor figures. The one noticable thing is that Pointless is not rising as ITVs ratings drop.
Yesterday, for instance, the woman who would have won had she answered correctly and lost to someone else if they had answered first and correctly just pressed the button to end the show without hearing the question and guessed anything in order to make sure the show ended in its fourth successive 'draw' (as in nobody winning or losing). Rules that not only allow that but pretty much force contestants into adopting them is badly flawed in its design. So if this does return (there is a germ of a good idea there) it needs a thorough overhaul. Looking forward to seeing how the Jeff Stelling show Alphabetical does. Sounds a better proposition as a quiz but he will be less well known to the ITV 5 pm audience who do not have Sky. Though his stint on Countdown will have helped. But he has a touch of the Bradleys about him so could go down well. |

Any figures for what I expect will be the last ever episode of Boy Meets Girl?
It was amiable and watchable but belonged in 1986 not 2016 in terms of its status as a sit com. And it just sidelined the main premise and leads to favour the cartoon families and that has not worked. The main story has played out and the ending is the perfect place to call it a day so maybe they wrote it with that in mind. The plunging viewing figures for series 2 certainly do not suggest a series 3 is going to happen. |

With Charlotte Moore no longer just the Controller of BBC One but now having responsibility for all of the BBC's television channels, I think we will now see " best use" of shows, and more swapping, We have had Eat well for less on earlier in summer not winter, we had the spring watchdog, cancelled, now revamped, Crimewatch revamp, of course bake off starts later, More professional dancers in Strictly? Now there will be no Doctor Who, but Class for BBC3 but it will get repeated.
Looks like there will be quite a shake up in September. |

That 1975 thing has not worked and Elliot Kerrigan regrets listening to them as BMG has ranked in last place at 10pm for the entire run and being beaten by Australian soaps and Peter Snow despite having a lead in with Versailles. |

The show's writer clearly put Denise at the front because of the success of The 1975. The publicity from them would flow into the show and get people to watch. Hence why none of the Eldorado style bile BMG has had for this series - because of the 1975 adoration.
That 1975 thing has not worked and Elliot Kerrigan regrets listening to them as BMG has ranked in last place at 10pm for the entire run and being beaten by Australian soaps and Peter Snow despite having a lead in with Versailles. It was also an error to make their relationship so smooth as any reading of real trans threads on here will show that it is likely there would have been at least some negative reaction within the two families. That the two were so obviously matched from day one and faced no conflict that eased their smooth path towards the altar (or none shown) was part of the problem. The show became rapidly bland when its main reason for being different was all but sidelined and then ignored. As someone mentioned on the BMG thread on here - what happens if Leo wants children? In real life that would be an issue way before the church in my experience and they would know the answers. There are possibilities - each of which could have created tension and conflict in the families that might have helped steer the show back towards doing what it started off just 12 months ago looking like it was planning to do. Maybe they had that in mind for series 3. But I imagine now that is never going to happen. |

A new series of 'Rebound' will be replacing The Chase at some point. It has already been filmed, so maybe at the end of the month?
