Thanks. What were the crisis numbers that got Daybreak replaced with GMB?
I've not seen it since the first week and I liked the dual set and 4 presenters. I assume they ditched it for the Anne and Nick look.

I need to check Saturday's schedules! There is a Spanish gameshow which appears to be up against Alphabetical in prime time. I think it was called BOOM and involved people cutting wires on a bomb when answering questions.

Incidentally The Musketeers was also on in prime time. That show works really well in Spanish.

The Sun seems to be out on its own on this one! Everybody else seems to take it as read that reality stars are in as usual, eg.

Somehow I can't see Retired, Knacked, or Hanging On In Non-League Footballer's Wives having much allure! Ten years is a lifetime in football!

You could reboot it and start it over - like with London's Burning and The Bill. Really you'd only be keeping the name so maybe they'd rather give it a new name with some new wrinkles.

Footballer's Wives was a show of its era. Like Dallas. I'm not sure if that would work now. But they are reviving Dynasty so...

Is it still the same woman? There might be a problem with people assuming they're repeats, because the old ones have been on a loop somewhere around 4am for years.

I'm sure it used to do well at around 7.30pm in the old days.

Judge Rinder used to be a million regularly didn't it? BBC1 can't find a quiz that does well after Doctors. From October 31st an adaptation of The Moonstone will be on instead of decimate. That should be much higher.”

Yep, they are.

BBC1 can seemingly put anything in the morning slot and its basically garunteed a 20% share. A couple of weak points later in the day, but otherwise a strong schedule. I want more Animal Park

On ITV Lorraine looks weak to me, though tbh, her show should be on ITVBe. Its that type of celeb gossip. Kyle has dropped back a bit as well. Used to be 25% in the morning.

Tipping Point doing wonders at 4pm.”

Rip Off Britain is probably the strongest performer for BBC1 in that 9.15am slot. They have put other programmes there that don't go that high. BBC1 stumbles after Doctors. The quizzes are always poor performers. 3.00-4.30pm is a problem too. ITV should be doing better in the 3.00pm hour as well. Titchmarsh used to get 1 million there.

It's a new presenter, it has a 7pm airing on Tuesdays which probably does better than the 11.15am slot.

In regards of Bad Girls and Footballers' Wives, I can't see them ever returning as they're a hangover of the bad years of ITV during the 2000s.

I agree. The Victorian Slum should have been on BBC1 considering it received more viewers than the BBC's main offering. They could have just swapped channels for trhe two shows.

That Reggie Yates doc could have gone after the news and had a similar rating.

So I see from the photo they just posted of the four of them shooting. Wonder what the Marks and Gran post meant then - which said at the weekend - Everyone's off abroad to make the birds of a feather Christmas spesh. Well, all except one character.


I presumed they meant Lesley Joseph was not able to go on location due to filming Strictly but as Linda and Pauline were cheering her on in the studio on Saturday then they all must have gone after that.

So maybe they mean another character is not out there? But the photo shows the three girls and Travis on set,

Once again, please stop promoting your blog. It adds nothing to the conversation. As a side note, I'd recommend proof reading your articles before posting them.

I honeymooned in Australia and I was struck by just how popular Top Gear was there. This is why Amazon paid the big bucks...

But will that really convince people to sign up for Prime? I paid for a year in advance and barely use the video service, mainly because it's crap. Can't fault the one day delivery though.

I find Prime to be about the same as Netflix. Both are really just useful supplements to sky for us. We don't make enough use of them due to a lack of time.

The Defenders shows are the Netflix attractions for me. Man in the High Castle and Lucifer for Prime.

Any company who did product placement for the Grand Tour should do well because it's going to be downloaded a lot on the naughtynet.

This is arguably Amazon's biggest problem. Within an hour of its release, episode 1 will be on the internet for anybody to see.

There have been reality stars or models/socialites that nobody has heard of, on I'm a Celeb since series 1. Some often become the biggest most talked about characters. After all these years in surprised people still don't see this and make the same points year after year.

"Never heard of them, the ratings will be down, ITV are idiots, they will get what they deserve for such a poor line up" etc etc, and then a week later millions are talking about Lady C who nobody knew existed until then.
