The Sun said that Paul said that Mary said? Ah, gospel truth obviously. If she had any plans on retiring it might make some kind of sense but as she's going straight into more work for the Beeb it really doesn't hold any water.

Harry Hill himself said he wants the show to come back but without him, and instead with guest presenters. I think that could work quite well if they got the right people on it!

BBC1 have really put pressure on The X Factor this series. They seem to have targeted it, in it's very weak state. The remaining Saturday shows will face Michael McIntyre's Big Show whilst the result shows will continue to face Planet Earth II. And if my calculations are right, the last episode of PEII will face the first hour of TXF final.
That's certainly going to stop it for reaching the 8.4m it achieved last year and could keep it below 7m.

Saturday 12 November 2016 Ratings Roundup
BBC 1 18:05: Pointless Celebrities - 4.56m (24.8%) 18:55: Strictly Come Dancing - 10.00m (45.4%) * peak - 10.93m (48.6%) at 19:55 20:10: The National Lottery: Who Dares Wins - 4.13m (19.7%) 21:00: The Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance - 5.36m (28.1%) 22:40: BBC News - 4.34m (28.9%) ITV (inc. +1) 18:00: Tipping Point - 2.87m (15.5%) 19:00: Meet the Parents - 2.00m (9.1%) 20:00: The X Factor - 6.03m (28.6%) * peak - 6.93m (32.6%) at 20:55 * 20:00-21:35 - 5.91m (28.1%) 21:35: The Jonathan Ross Show - 3.59m (19.3%) 22:35: ITV News and Weather - 2.24m (13.9%) Rugby Highlights - 1.64m F1 Highlights - 1.23m ) Also a fan of Tipping Point: Lucky Stars. Disappointing to see it drop below 3m after last week but Ann Widdecombe was on last night so that might have put a few viewers off (ahem!)Good figure for Festival Of Remembrance. Last year's edition had 5.61m according to the BARB website. Not sure what sort of time shift a programme like this would get but it's definitely going to finish above 2014 which had 5.22m. I always like seeing Strictly with a 10 before the decimal point in its overnights. Healthy figure there for JR. And the rugby highlights out-rating the motor racing highlights. I'm guessing England's first win over South Africa in 10 years at have added a few viewers. |

That's certainly going to stop it for reaching the 8.4m it achieved last year and could keep it below 7m.My predictions are: IAC - 9.7m PE2 - 9.5m XF - 6.2m (hurt by IAC on the VOSDAL) Strangers - 4.7m Magician -2.9m. BBC excluding soaps - Friday 4m, Saturday 10m, Sunday 10m... 24m Itv excluding its soaps - Friday 6m, Saturday, 6m, Sunday 10m... 22m |

Big fan of Pointless Celebrities but that rating is annoying because it was a bleeping repeat last night. (

I rather suspect My Mother and Other Strangers will be a 3m to 2m flop, crushed by I'm a Celebrity, and another series to add to the sadly growing list of BBC One drama flops this autumn. It has hardly been trailed in many of the programme junctions on BBC One.
In what universe is a BBC drama likely to launch with under 3m with a 10m lead in, and on a Sunday? If anything the drama on BBC1, will pull away some of the casual viewers that might have switched onto IAC. According to those on this thread, its been trailed heavily. And in between the junction last week of SCD and PEII, its aimed at demographic. |

Which suggests viewers didn't care if its a rpt or not. The regular editions aren't affected.
Which turns me to the whole BBC daytime schedule: because they're so fixed on keeping one show in a timeslot, 3 days a week is repeats and 2 are new for HUTH, Bargain Hunt, ETTC and Flog It. If you get the same viewers for all the episodes, why even bother with new ones? I bet barely any of the viewers notice anyway. You get days like Wednesday when the majority of the schedule minus news and Doctors is repeats. I think that's unacceptable. Pointless then has a different system of whole weeks of repeats. Extremely annoying. Try something new there for a change. |

Rhod Gilbert could be quite good. Or Rob Brydon. Or Griff Rhys Jones. Or if you'd prefer somebody non-Welsh, perhaps David Mitchell or Greg Davies. Or if you want a female presenter how about Sandi Toksvig. Or perhaps....... No, that's me exhausted my quota of women I'd trust with this format. Of course, many of these are busy working on other equally worthy TV projects so might not have the time needed to do full justice to Burp. |

I really hope IAC does really well tonight...
Not because I'm and ITV fan or I'm anti Strictly. Just because I really like the show. And now I wait for the usual arguments that's it's and old clapped out show, despite Strictly being a similar age. |

I have my doubts that Big Show will do much better in overnights than the lottery quizzes. Sunday they've tried The Paradise there and X Factor wiped the floor with it, The Paradise would probably stand a better chance against X Factor now. |

If Burp came back with a new presenter or guest presenters, who do we think would do a good job? Harry's a difficult act to follow.

Burp Dancing on Ice Downton Abbey Millionaire. |

Me thinks you are underpredicting.

If anything the drama on BBC1, will pull away some of the casual viewers that might have switched onto IAC. According to those on this thread, its been trailed heavily. And in between the junction last week of SCD and PEII, its aimed at demographic. This time last year Sundays at 9pm on BBC1 were occupied by the natural history series The Hunt. The episode on against the launch of IAC (episode 3) had a consolidated audience of a respectable 4.87m. Its lowest audience was 4.54m for the final episode which was about conservation (so a bit preachy-preachy probably and thus not so appealing) and up against the last hour of the X Factor final. The episode the week before got 4.86m up against the final of IAC although presumably IAC went on until 10.30, so The Hunt would have finished before the IAC Queen Of The Jungle (as it was last year) was revealed.

For the BBC's primetime quiz the number of repeats is a joke. The Chase can run new episodes all year round, why not Pointless? I see they've started a new series of 55 eps and lo and behold it's back to repeats in 2 weeks time.

To say nothing of the fact that they're pretty much all BBC stalwarts and 'serious' comedians (you know what I mean!) so hardly obvious candidates for an early evening light entertainment slot. You're gonna have to do a lot better than that to convince me it would be worth a shot!

) I'll bet there's a few comedians who look at TV Burp and think "I wish I'd done that".But if you're looking for "ITV" and "early evening light entertainment" try Paddy McGuiness or Bradley Walsh. |

The long running shows are generally the best performers in the ratings now. I'm A Celebrity will do well. Hardly anybody is talking about My Mother And Other Strangers on BBC1 tonight opposite IAC.
I fear for Humans most of all. The audience it will appeal to are not on social media. I am confident it will get 4.5m. Humans I think will got sub 1m exc+1. I would loe to see THREE 10m+ shows tonight. |

Russell Howard could be in with a shot.
By 2019 we are maybe going to see the return of... Burp Dancing on Ice Downton Abbey Millionaire. Dancing On Ice - no point looking backwards. but if they did bring it back, keep away Schofield. DA should be left for a film - or at least a possible spin-off. Now TV Burp. Yes. With many programmes I watch now, I often think Harry Hill would have a field day with this. |
