Is there a list of top HD viewers in a week, clearly IAC does well, but say how would Planet Earth or sport do. As I would imagine more benefit for these shows than say soaps.

Louis Walsh is just a bit of a motormouth anyway. He still slags off Strictly...until he says he's going to go on it when he wants a pay rise!
Still, he doesn't slate Strictly as much as he slates Cheryl, that's his favourite pass time!

Louis is away with the faries most of the time,
I'm reading The Sun in the pub right now (don't judge!) and I've stumbled across a Brainboxer in the games section which may be fun for this thread. Without further ado:
A TV channel shows four half-hour programmes starting from 7pm. The first programme is Crags which isn't the comedy show, which doesn't start at 7.30pm. Waves starts later than the soap opera and Reason starts earlier than the sports programme. Airtime is the nightly news show. Can you reconstruct the schedule? Answer tomorrow.
Utterly confusing to me!

Plenty of other shows mentioned, plenty of posts without it, do not just post here.
------------------
I think with Pointless on BBC1 will run circa 5/ 8 minutes late tonight, with SCD starting post 7 pm, may make Michael McIntyre start late as well.
Pointless celebrities is a normal 50 minute slot and started circa 6.14 re the live tennise match.
CIN highlights bumped to Sunday at 2pm on 2.

Possible solution.

True. I just thought they'd run late and happily clash with XF. Maybe it's hard for SCD to run late being a live show.
Why was Andy Murray moved to BBC1 when 99.9% of the UK population can receive BBC2 terrrestrially ? Do the BBC not know the reach of their own channels ?

To maxinmise ratings. The BBC know, if Andy Murray was playing the same game on BBC2, at lest 1-2m wouldn't find it. The minute it moves to BBC1, they are more likely to watch it.
This is where the default viewing BBC1 has compared to even its own BBC2.

To annoy people who were recording it or watching it on live pause?
I'm sure the golf suits notice how tennis gets moved from 2 to 1 but the British Open play off got moved from 1 to 2. Now to be fair tennis has always drawn better than golf and clearly the BBC always desired Wimbledon more than its golf events.

As the live rugby was scheduled at 5pm on BBC2. (Scotland - Argentina)

It was actually because there was rugby about to start on BBC2
It's often the case on the BBC that sport is like waiting for buses, weeks without any and then loads come along at once. I did mean they had to shunt final score to the red button very early, meaning a rare occasion when the classified results were not aired on either BBC1 or BBC2.
From a Strictly fan, virtually since it started, I thought tonight's Blackpool show was dreadful. Was so looking forward to it. Somebody needs to tell the production team that the backing dancers add sod all. I remember the 2010 Blackpool show which was brilliant, and there were no extra dancers then.
Won't be reflected in the ratings though.

Absolutely agree. Massive Strictly fan but that was a bloody awful show. So hyped up but failed to deliver. Roll on IAC!

Lucky for the BBC that Tony Hall hasn't got round to scraping the Red Button.
The Rugby should have started at 4.30 with a half-hour build-up to a 5pm kick-off.
At 4.55 the Tennis switched to BBC1, the Rugby started on BBC2 and Final Score switched to Red Button only. FS was supposed to be a simulcast on BBC1 and Red Button between 4.30 and 5.25 with Radio 2's Simple Mind concert due on Red Button at 5.25.
At 5.25 the Tennis started on Red Button but because the match was very close to conclusion they also stayed with it on BBC1.
The CIN highlights will now be shown on BBC2 tomorrow at 2pm in place of Dial M For Murder.

That's what I find on TXF. Sometimes less is more.

Well I bet they wish they could, but the BBC1 schedule is already at the top of its game. Its unfortunate in a way because its surely going to drag viewers away from SCD and PE given the schedule is from 6 to 9.00-especially if its Djokovic as he will have to beat him in the final to be number 1 for the year. Pity the BBC couldn't have planned in advance a live 9.15 start.

That is exactly right.
I get logic problem magazine and this sort of thing is a typical early challenge. They get harder in the magazine as you go along!
You just fill in a grid with one column for times, another for programme name and the third for programme type and as you work through entering the options they start to eliminate possibilities until one by one the options resolve.
Got Michael McIntyre's Big Show on at the moment. A very lively, feel-good programme but, somehow, I can't help feeling that it would fare better if it was made in a big shiny-floor TV studio (a la Saturday Night Takeaway) rather than in a theatre (a la Tonight At The London Palladium.)
I notice we have 60 minute episodes this series? Is that an extension on series one? Was series one 50 minute episodes?

Sorry? That's it? There were backing dancers so it was dreadful? Looked pretty normal to me. What the heck were you expecting?
McIntyres show is pretty good IMO.
It's the 1st BBC Sat night entertainment show since SCD I've watched and been impressed with. There's a mix of everything old and new, much in the same way SNT takes the best bits of LE past and updates it.
I wonder how it'll do? Tomorrow morning will be interesting...

I hate to break it you but this is right before Christmas. There are 6 episodes in the series (and a Christmas Special) and there are 6 weeks to Christmas. Not sure how much more adjacent it can get. I take it we're ignoring the inconvenient fact that the first series ran in April and May, by the way!
