Emmerdale is doing very well. Still no2 soap spot. This is often touted after a big week on Emmerdale, the latter will fall back behind EE, but at the moment, its been 2 weeks so far, and Emmerdale is still oit in front.
It will be interesting to see what hppens as we edge closer to Christmas. Will EE get a boost thanks to Christmas approaching? The bonus EE has on Christmas Day, is that the BBC schedule is often so strong, many viewers just keep BBC1 on all day. Its only last year where this changed somewhat. |

Might be wrong here but weren't there a couple of episodes left over from last year that they didn't air? In which case could be a longer run than 8 episodes if they show them as part of this run.
Hopefully this one rates well again. Would be interesting to see how it does if it runs beyond CBB. I know there was one episode after it last year and didn't do well but I remember there being some sort of reason why, so that might not be representative of how it could do. |

Dare I suggest slightly disappointing for last night's episode?
There has been a notable slowing of the pace the last two weeks, but I thought this was a fairly strong episode nonetheless. Tuesdays is our viewing day now, as I'm sure it is for many others. |

It had a lot of problems in the last run though, not least the absolutely frenetic editing and poor production values compared to the original. I hope the new series has taken on board the feedback from this as I like the format but It genuinely made me feel motion sick last time I watched it.
The editing was a little frenetic certainly, overdoing it at times with the camera work and hopefully that will be looked at, but I couldn't fault the rest and overall I thought Whizz Kid did a very good job. |

I enjoyed Rich Hall's Presidential Grudge Match on BBC4 and I suspect they will be more than happy with 0.66m (3.4%)

Not sure about poor production values, I think that's harsh and I don't think it would have risen for episode 2 if that was the case.

Final, no doubt miniscule, rating for Morgana's The Agency?

It doesn't surprise me. It has been struggling in the ratings and from series 4 they ditched the books and created their own mysteries with DCI Banks. I think this may have turned away a good few viewers as the series writers also changed giving the show a different feel.

ITV has enough crime dramas to justify the axe of DCI Banks. I'm sure Left Bank will get a commission from ITV for a new crime drama to make up for it.

That really doesn't add up. There were three years from filming for series 3 to filming the upcoming series in which the only Sherlock activity was the New Year Special and there have only been 11 episodes in six years. It simply cannot be the case that every delay in the Dr Who schedule is entirely due to Sherlock.

Speaking of Doctor Who, the Doctor Who Experience is closing next year which is based just across the road in Cardiff Bay.
There is a petition to save it https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio...e-from-closure Apologies for advertising the petition on the ratings thread |

Odds on which US election programme The Ratings Thread will decide is best tonight
ITV: 1/10 Fav BBC: 4/1 Sky: 100/1 ![]() Come on then guys. Which will you be watching? Perhaps looking elsewhere to CNN or some other US source? I'll personally be looking between all three (and some US channels), but will probably be sticking with ITV. I won't be watching all night, I'll probably wake up at about 2am when things start to get interesting. |

I'm fairly sure the reason for the delay was Stephen Moffat working on both shows. He should have handed Doctor Who over if he wanted to spend so much time on Sherlock.

Possibly but it is running out of contemporary, recurring character, 2 hour story series with Lewis and now Banks going. I presume Vera will be back next year but after that ... ? Everything else seems to be single story, single series stuff (to say nothing of rather variable in quality!)

It's not that surprising to be fair. I'm a fan of the show (and have visited the experience), but the interest in the show has been dwindling. The Argos catalogue used to have a full page of DW merchandise, the last one had none whatsoever.

Commenting on behalf of the City of Cardiff Council, a spokesman said: "The land currently occupied by the Doctor Who Experience is owned by the Welsh Government and their development partner, Igloo Regeneration. It was leased to the City Council for 5 years to enable its relocation from Olympia to Cardiff on a temporary basis. It's rather silly starting a petition now opposing something that was written into the contract from the very first!
"It has always been the intention for the site to be developed as part of the ongoing Porth Teigr regeneration project. The agreement was always intended to be for 5 years only, reflecting the nature of the attraction. The decision to close the Experience at the end of the lease next summer has been mutually agreed by all parties involved, including the operators BBC Worldwide."

They've got Endeavour which is still their crown jewel if you ask me. At three (?) eps a year though it's hardly a good-sized tent-pole for them.
