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

Tutankhamen has performed about as well as I would expect a drama about excavating pyramids to do. I'm amazed that they managed to stretch the story to four hours. I think ITV have their eyes more on international sales with this one.
Could Tut have only ended up in this slot because ITV brought forward Victoria to get a jump on Poldark thus leaving a four week gap between Victoria and I'm A Celebrity? Had Vicky started the same week as Ross and ran weekly (without a Monday episode) then there would have been two weeks between Victoria and I'm A Celebrity, enough for Dark Angel whose 90 minute episodes suggest a Sunday night slot rather than moving News At Ten on a Monday (unless they edited Dark Angel from 3 x 60 minute episodes.) Or maybe Dark Angel was meant for the Sunday and Monday of the August Bank Holiday. Nice, cheery bank holiday viewing that would have been. |

ITV do have a few dramas that I think will air this like Tina and Bobby which I imagine will be Mondays in December since there are 3 Mondays available after IAC is done. Maigret's Dead Man likely will air on one of the Sunday in December that isn't Christmas Day. |

Dark Angel was always meant to be 2x90m but I suspect it was planned for a Sunday slot, it was in the can for a while, it was in the trailers for ITV's Winter schedule last year but it got pushed back.

Interesting that they are keeping Tess Daly and new host Graham Norton apart on Children in Need night - Tess doing the opening bit with Greg James then Graham doing the middle slot

I enjoy the well thought out 'crits' and follow this thread with enjoyment. I have a vested interest and would like to ask, in view of some of the stinkers foisted on us lately, how can ITV possibly defend cancelling Home Fires? Well acted, Female led Drama,good viewing figures, lauded all over the world. Am I missing something?

You can have a free month of Netflix any time you like. It's their standard opening bid. Some of us have even had 3 (or is it 4?) free months over a period of time. Not saying they're desperate for subscribers but ....
Seems to be more desperate on the side of Radio Times to be honest. |

I'll go for 4.9m/24% for Dark Angel though it'll soar past 6m after 7 days. It should be hitting 5m considering the lack of competition but it was Halloween.

You can play the victim all you like but
was deliberately provocative and you can't complain when people take issue with this view. If you wish to defend how Tut has performed despite compelling evidence that it's been a major weak link then be my guest. However I certainly won't be backing down on my view that it has been a disaster, which I've shown my working for. If that's not enough, I suggest we leave the matter there. |

So probably around 1.2m-1.3m in total. Decent start, especially as it normally goes up over the course of the run.

I think ITV's recent primetime performance has been very unsatisfactory. Tuesdays and Wednesdays have been varying degrees of disaster and they've had two big drama flops on Thursday and Friday. Throw in the dire schedule surrounding The X Factor on Saturdays and the underperforming Tutankhamun on Sundays and it has been a rotten few weeks for them in primetime. Even the bright spots like Cold Feet have maybe been below expectations. Tutankhamun certainly hasn't done well but it probably isn't the main concern right now. Hopes clearly weren't that high as its been sat on the shelf for ages (it was filmed last Autumn) and I suspect it only got a Sunday slot as it fit with the number of weeks they had between Victoria and IAC.
Long term though I'm not worried for them. I think Lygo is absolutely the right man to turn it around. Everything he's revealed publicly about his plans has been very encouraging. Now of course it's not going to happen overnight, but gradually I would expect to see things improve. Especially on a core night like Sunday. |
