I think My Mother and Other Strangers is in big trouble opposite I'm A Celebrity. Dead on arrival.
Humans will suffer more against IAC than the BBC1 drama, with a younger audience. I imagine I will be proved wrong, but I don't think so. I think IAC will launch with 10.1m, and MM&OS will pull in 4-4.5m. |

Fantastic rating. It's sort of one those shows that you would expect from BBC1. Easy going, laid back and feel good.
That is why I think ITV should be attempting to grow POG Dogs further into a 1hr slot. |

Brilliant. Got the 12 issues for £1 deal, now I save £7.99 on a month of Netflix!
Big month for the streamers with both The Crown and Grand Tour launching. The 4K/UHD trailer for The Crown is stunning. |

If the romoyrs are to be believed I'm A Celebrity could have a very strong line-up.
Some names include: Larry Lamb, Anne Widdecomb, Scarlett Moffet and Tom Fletcher. With each year, IAC needs to up its game because the lead in is getting lower and lower. TXF is no longer a support to IAC, its the other way around. Therefore keep a minimum of reality stars entering the jungle. |

Its not very often ITV gets ratings like this for factual - in particular a factual series in that 8.30pm slot.
That is why I think ITV should be attempting to grow POG Dogs further into a 1hr slot. I sort of like to protect shows that do well, which why I thought XF should have ended on a high, and I'm of the idea that this is a good year for Bake Off to leave BBC, while it's at it's height, so it will be remembered fondly. But we all know money rules these days. |

Edit - Larry Lamb I know from Gavin and Stacey and the Sun has confirmed that he's in for £100k. Moffett is Gogglebox apparently and Fletcher is ex McFly. So 2 out of 4 then are well known. I expect some Olympians who won't be especially famous but they'll be credible. |

I personally think that would be a dangerous move (extending to an hour). But I wouldn't put it past them, but I can see where you're coming from.

But we all know money rules these days. XF should have ended around 2010 it's been downhill, nay off a cliff face since then, a parody of its former self. Ratings are dire and next week, Life on Earth 2 will damage it even more. |

I agree great points. Bake off is at its peak, and really the astonishing viewing tigers couldn't go on, for Love Productions to con C4 otherwise is the second hand deal of the century.

Just imagine the millions ITV would have lost if they had axed it in 2010. Some posters honestly have no idea. |

It still makes money though. What can't you understand about that?

Thank you, and yep, although Bake Off could have probaly got another few good years though, but who knows Strictly is still storming.
Some people can see past money. No one said it didn't still make money. I even said that earlier today. But people just see XF as a laughing stock these days, something that used to be the talk of the nation and a must watch for people on a Saturday Night. No business can see past money. Otherwise, they'd be a poor business. |

Shows like these do help make money which in turn helps pay for 'quality' programmes. Right, now I'm off to run C4! |

Bake Off or Apprentice, Doctor Who Strictly are quality shows. And you get my vote to run C4 you would have to be better then the creative, nay poaching director Jay Hunt, who was a legend in her own extended lunchtime at the BBC. |

Can't believe Channel 5 did well with the same old ancient Peter Kay clips again, which were on BBC1 not very long ago. Kay really is ratings gold. Just stick on an old stand up routine and you double your audience share.
It's a bit of an over reaction to describe Tutankhamun as a complete disaster. You win some you lose some, it could have done worse, and with Victoria doing well, that's a 1/2 success rate. Something like Downton doesn't come around very often and if that was the benchmark then it was unattainable. Do the rumoured Celebs in I'm a Celeb ever come to pass? I'm sure The Sun confirms people who don't end up being in it, every year. |

XF has in the past achieved higher figures than all of the above, not too long ago, so I think you need to get a grip.

Larry Lamb is reported to have actually signed the deal, rather than just being rumoured to be going in. |

5 should show more comedy specials or stand up. I'm surprised they've not approached Russell Howard as he's already doing shows for Comedy Central.

That's excluding the +1 channel.Must be one of the most successful homegrown programmes ever on the channel. Hopefully it can stay above 300k. |

I thought she was flying solo around the world after taking her first solo flight live on This Morning! Perhaps she wants to practice in case she has to crash land in the jungle and survive on bugs until rescued. Talking of This Morning - I was interested to note today that they changed the opening credits to include all sorts of Halloween themed additions alongside Phil and Holly. Yet for the past year or more they have never bothered to once change them on the many regular occasions when Eamonn and Ruth are hosting - like every Friday, all Summer and many other weeks when Phil and Holly are off. Yet Phil and Holly are on them every day even in the long weeks when they are not doing the show. It is something I have mentioned before as it really looks very much like ITV having to show them two off and basically not caring about the other main presenters who work not vastly less than they do over the course of a full year. But if they can make such changes just for Halloween there is zero excuse from ITV for not doing a separate opening for Eamonn and Ruth. |

Agreed. For whatever reason, X Factor sends people on here insane. Why is it the only show that gets constantly bashed from people who supposedly don't watch it?
