Given that until Planet Earth came along they were winning Sundays 8-10pm that seems a bit pessimistic. It's not like Planet Earth will be back next year, it's very much a one off special. Victoria beat Poldark each week and XF results are still solid.
I agree about Saturdays, it is tough. The 6-8pm block is a nightmare for them. They need to just keep plugging away with new shows. Ideally they'd do what BBC1 has with McIntyre and find a hit in an easier time of year and then move it. Still easier said than done though. The easiest solution is to move XF to spring 2018 and let BGT look after the autumn. But that's a bandaid solution. I don't know if Magician can be live, that'd certainly give a major edge to it. 6:30 - Family Fortunes 7:30 - Magician Live. 8:30 - XF 10 - Ross. If need be, bring the three earlier shows forward to quarter past the hour. Sundays aren't a problem for ITV as, sadly, Planet Earth will probably be the last huge nature show on TV for many years. Maybe very many years. ITV has a problem on Saturdays in autumn. BBC1 may have a problem on Saturdays for most of the rest of the year. |

...indeed, and what the Beeb has which ITV doesn't really is variety and quality.
But it's interesting you mention variety as, in many ways, you're absolutely right but in other ways... Put it this way; across the year ITV have 180 minutes of Emmerdale and soon to be 180 minutes of Coronation Street per week. That's 360 minutes including ads of the same shows. Is Tonight regularly shown? If so, that makes it 390. The BBC have 180 minutes of The One Show, 120 minutes of EastEnders, generally 60 minutes of Holby City and 50 minutes of Casualty. The breaks the latter two take are relatively miniscule, as is The One Show's summer break which they sometimes fill up with 'The Best Of'. That's 410 minutes taken up by the same shows. So the BBC may have more variety but their schedule is far more rigid too. |

Was there a problem with BBC One SD too then?
Now TV pictures are broadcast in digital and very rarely you might experience that same half second glitch when the pictures are transferred from SD to HD. In the same way the glitch happened in the clock when it went from analogue to digital. It is very rare though and had the remembrance festival been broadcast live last week, there is the possibility the same problem might have occurred then too. The acoustics of a building can add to the problem. |

One wonders how close the XF numbers would be to last year were it not being assaulted in the schedules by our wonderful, untouchable PSB. Probably not matching, due to a line-up considered weak and natural decline, but perhaps within 200-300k of it.

What the BBC has, and can afford to do, is have shows aimed at the older demographic meaning they have a naturally higher starting base. It's the same reason why Coronation Street and Emmerdale are holding up better than EastEnders - they skew older.

Strictly was amazing tonight and hopefully it gets near 11m, they shouldnt have put the 4 best dancers all at the beginning and spread them throughout the show but Louise and Kevin`s Paso was absolutely stunning and had me on my feet
Can we all agree that even if you dont like the show the Strictly band and singers create an absolute incredible sound no matter what style of song they are doing, either it be the instrumental of the Paso tonight or the vocals on Gangnam Style last week.....they can perform anything and have the XFactor!!! |

Disagree entirely, now they've got rid of Bruce the dreadful cheesey covers band are the only thing left making the show feel awkward.. why they must insist on using cruise ship singers I don't know.

Oh it's been miles better-produced than 2015, I agree. But I think 2014 was possibly the best-produced series ever, the final 16 were all incredibly talented and the sets had a very 'high quality' feel to them, in terms of lighting, atmosphere etc. It felt really big-budget IMO and I don't think it'll top that again.
On a similar note, I think many get blinded by 'ratings nostalgia' over 2008-11. Folk need to see that, yes many were watching then, but they weren't necessarily the best productions.

Casualty remained very consistent despite IAC clash
Extra viewers coming to TV last night looking at those ratings for X Factor and Casualty. That's what I'm A Celebrity does and Strictly always gets a boost for Blackpool week....but that's a hell of a boost! One of the best non final ratings in years. |

Goodness. Did not expect to see 6.2m for MM. I was thinking around 4.5m-ish. Quote:
IAC - 7.98m (38.0%) which i believe is up on last year Quote:
Nope, tapechecked Strictly averaged a whopping 10.97m (48.8%).
![]() Wow! 11.0m for Strictly's Blackpool special. Amazing rating. Is that the highest Blackpool rating ever?

Brilliant for SCD - is that the biggest gap ever between it and X Factor? X Factor barely getting over 6m even with the repeat included.

Meet The Parents continues to rate apallingly. Its funny isn't it. ITV go through so many LE shows in a year, most flop, very few actually rate over 4m. BBC1 do very few LE shows, just showing the same every year, but of the few new LE shows they show, they equal the same number of new hits found as ITV, despite showing less. |

This obsession with 'only old people watch BBC One' is wrong with respect. BBC One's success is down to the fact that it appeals to all ages, is filled with variety, the quality and standards are there too. It is a channel for all the family.
For instance SCD has almost the same 16-24 skew as Meet The Parents with just 2m. Therefore the majority of SCD audience is older viewers, which enables it to stay strong. I am by no means trying to degrade the older audience, I'm just explaining why BBC1 in most slots stays solid. Then when they try to skew young (The Getaway Car) it flops. In a similar way to ITV with MTP. But ITV has less of a strong base as BBC1. MTP didn't even launch well. |

Or you could come at it from the angle of: the highest Saturday show since the first live show and the second consecutive week of rising. despite stronger competition.

That's the problem with ad breaks when comparing overnights on a commercial channel to an ad free channel. Viewers jump during ad breaks.
TXF's overnights from 2008-2011 included ads. Nobody moaned about it then.

This obsession with 'only old people watch BBC One' is wrong with respect. BBC One's success is down to the fact that it appeals to all ages, is filled with variety, the quality and standards are there too. It is a channel for all the family.
As for 'family', a typical young family (two adults under 45 with two children) are more likely to watch XFactor over SCD. |
