Surprised at that fairly low rating for the football, I thought it would be closer to an England tournament rating.
I suppose England/Scotland isn't a big draw anymore. |

Does anyone in here watch HIGNFY? From the bits I've caught, its not very funny, and the comments on the HIGNFY thread seem to suggest the same.
Although it still rates (presumably because its a tradition with its audience now. Watch it good or bad), is it time it was given a rest? |

Do we think Michaels show will see an increase next week after strictly or drop due to X factor, I personally think it will stay pretty level, but maybe a grower

I predict that with the Strictly lead-in, and the fact that this series is on in Winter rather than the Spring screening that series one had, Big Show will regularly overnight at 5m+.

I suppose England/Scotland isn't a big draw anymore. The rating would have been a bit higher on Tuesday. I expect England v Spain will score a similar number. |

I'd say Michael McIntyre's Bug Show is more likely to get 5m away from The X Factor.
McIntyre is a good show to tape and watch later because that way you just fast forward the acts you aren't interested in. |

6m is very low but I notice this is includea the pre and post-game show. I'd assume the match itself clears 7m and peaked at over 8m. It was a Friday and I know people who were planning to watch it in a bar.

So I'm guessing over 6 million for the football?
Ouch for EE though, I think Emmerdale will be around a million ahead, despite the 6.45pm start. |

England v Spain is a friendly so will score lower, audiences for football generally are down

Am I right in thinking there are no major sporting events next year (so no World Cups or Olympics)?

I see News at When returns next week:
Monday 10.00 Tuesday 10.15 Wednesday 10.30 Thursday 10.00 Friday 10.30 So obviously ITV aren't too bothered about moving it around |

You're like a whack-a-mole game, popping up whenever something potentially negative can be said about ITV, News at Ten or Good Morning Britain

ITV is not a quality brand and I'm not sure they've worked out what they want to be. I'm watching the very first episode of Rainbow (no George, Geoffrey or Rod, Jane and Freddy) and it started off with the Thames ident. It reminded me how Thames used to mean quality whereas now ITV feels more like LWT.
Brideshead Revisited or Jewel in the Crown would be on Sky Atlantic or HBO but it'd be crazy to confine them to Encore. Maybe that channel should become more of a first-look channel. Of course, Chris Chibnall said that when they were pitching Broadchurch initially they thought they might try Sky Atlantic because they thought it would be the kind of bold thing they were after. It ended up on primetime ITV, so if you're tossing up between those two I'm not sure what Sky Atlantic can actually offer. I guess it can benefit in terms of scale, but not all dramas have to be big budget mammoth affairs, do they? British audiences are still happy to watch small scale affairs as well. I guess they may also have a benefit in being able to do very long runs, which ITV probably wouldn't, but they don't seem massively interested in doing that. Incidentally I see in Broadcast this week that Polly Hill is suggesting ITV are looking for story-of-the-week dramas which can run for several weeks of the year every year, in the style of CSI which would be good, I think. |

I think the vast majority of the audience have no problem finding and watching quality drama on ITV, it has a long and distinguished reputation in the genre. It's the channel of Broadchurch, Cracker and Prime Suspect, and its drama remains its great strength.
