Well they're certainly making good use of the rights!

I doubt many people are going to want to watch the Potter films daily over Christmas though.
Agree, just had that discussion on the Christmas Radio Times thread,

Hang on, so they're moving the soaps? Coronation Street displaced on Wednesday and Friday, Emmerdale displaced on Thursday. Odd move; I wonder where the three episodes will go?

It'd make more sense to me to air The Deathy Hallows 2 on New Year's Day rather than New Year's Eve.

I think you asked earlier whether digiguide had noted any changes to BBC One's Christmas Day schedule - they haven't as of yet.
Yup, no idea where the soaps are going. Possibly New Year's Day? Stephen Mulhern's soap quiz will probably be there too alongside Ninja Warrior (it's in the Christmas trailer so must be somewhere).

Thanks for confirming. I'm back home now so have managed to refresh Digiguide. Normally there have been a few changes to BBC1 by this point but there hasn't this year, which maybe suggests it won't change much at all.

It's a great idea, though. Sky have had a Harry Potter pop-up channel a couple of times, so having them stripped over Christmas will give them to everyone over a short time frames.

Also, Ofcom changing the rules only allowing one ad break per half hour, makes films slightly more watchable on commercial TV.

The only thing ITV could do with the soaps is move Emmerdale to 6.30 on Wed, Thurs and Fri unless they are a few eps short this year so have pulled 3 eps

Or its stale-mate. BBC are waiting to see if ITV change and vice versa. Did we not have this situation on the first Christmas DA was on?

This is ITV's NYD schedule earlier this year

ITV (inc +1)
19:00 - Emmerdale: 6.25m (26.2%)
19:30 - Coronation Street: 6.95m (27.6%)
20:00 - Gino's Italian Escape - Islands in the Sun: 2.55m (10.3%)
20:30 - Coronation Street: 6.54m (26.7%)
21:00 - The Big Quiz: Coronation Street v Emmerdale: 3.20m (12.7%)
22:00 - ITV News: 2.82m (11.9%)


Pretty mind numbing line-up. Surely next year will be better?

When were the Harry Potter films last on ITV? I know they over did them a couple of years ago, but it's been a while now?

Lazy scheduling but also interesting and likely to pick up more viewers than an entertainment special, also no different to the likes of Channel 5 who often resort to back to back films all day at times like this.

Regarding the soaps, Emmerdale comes out of this I'm a Celeb period with a gain of 1 episode, Corrie has gained 2 episodes overall.

I wonder if they are really going to run EastEnders 2125-2225, which is a very late slot.

Overnights.tv ‏@overnightstv 31s32 seconds ago
Fan favourite @edballs finally left #StrictlyComeDancing via the dance off on BBC1, watched by 10.6m/44.1% http://www.overnights.tv

Overnights.tv ‏@overnightstv now
The focus on deserts on #planetearth2 at 8pm on BBC1 drew slot-winning 9.7m/37.9% http://www.overnights.tv

Excellent for Strictly and Planet Earth.
Another HUGE Strictly rating. Is that the tape-checked rating lewie?

PEII rises by 0.5m.

Overnights.tv ‏@overnightstv 8s9 seconds ago
#ImACeleb of course dominated the 9pm slot for ITV last night, with 9.1m/40.5% @antanddec @larrylamb47 http://www.overnights.tv

Up over 100k on last year's equivalent show.

Overnights.tv ‏@overnightstv 1m1 minute ago
The #XFactor journey of @The_Honey_G came to an end on last night's results show on ITV, watched by 6.1m/23.8% @syco http://www.overnights.tv

Yep. Down a little bit on last week, around 190k. It has reached its level now. Unless it goes up next week.
IAC continues to do very well. XF back on the slide again.

Maybe that 6.1m rating is wrong looking below?

From rzt:

ITV inc +1
The X Factor: 6.04m (23.6%) - I think this is the tapechecked rating
I guess this is the right rating

BARB have updated.

Top Ten Most Watched Programmes w/e 20 November:
Strictly Come Dancing (Sat) - 12.24m

I’m a Celebrity Week 1 Officials:
Mon - 10.84m/11.40m (+1.97m/+2.05m)
Wed - 9.79m/10.39m (+2.06m/+2.18m)
Thu - 9.84m/10.67m (+1.94m/+2.10m)
Fri - 9.03m/9.68m (+2.39m/+2.52m)
Sat - 9.75m10.20m (+2.13m/+2.22m)
Sun - 10.45m/10.95m (+1.68m/+1.78m)
Amazing rating for Strictly's Blackpool special. That must be the first time it's topped 12m mid run in a long time. Anyone know when an episode consolidated this high, excluding finals?

A very nice set of official ratings for IAC. Good stuff.

So is that it for the Broadcast app now? Will it ever work again?
Ray - can you answer this? Has the Broadcast app stopped updating?!

From ITV Media:

Friday Top 10: Main channels (inc. +1 where applicable)

1 ITV - 09:00 PM I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 7.987m 38%
2 ITV - 07:30 PM Coronation Street 6.347m 33%
3 ITV - 08:30 PM Coronation Street 6.102m 30%
4 BBC One - 08:00 PM EastEnders 5.744m 29%
5 ITV - 07:00 PM Emmerdale 5.712m 32%
That must be the first time in a long time that EastEnders has come above Emmerdale, even if it is by a whisker.

I think ITV lost the rights to Potter in 2015,

H of De Vil, having seen the ITV Christmas Day schedule, it looks like you have finally got your wish.

Back in October 2015 you said They should have Despicable Me 2 which could do well on Xmas Day, although whatever film they show BBC1 always beat them even if the film is weaker

I doubt it, it's been pretty much as crap for the last five or so years, just like Christmas Day and in fact the whole holiday period.

ITV used to be the go to channel over Christmas at this house, these days, it's the one to avoid, sadly.

A Christmas special of BOAF and Mr and Mrs is not a festive lineup.

Not a shakeup. It happens. Every. Single. Year.

However, "Coronation Street cancelled tonight to allow for Harry Potter marathon" looks like the headline in a few weeks time.

Will this be the latest Eastenders has ever been on to on bbc 1 across the UK if they go with 2125-2225. I think it has aired later on bbc scotland in the past but not uk wide.

Great to see Planet Earth II rising again this weekend - and episode 2 still consolidated brilliantly over 11m.

My other takeaway from the weekend is how well McIntyre held up. I thought it could fall back with a bit of a bump - but it held pretty strong and a peak towards the end of the slot suggests he is carrying his own audience. That's very good news for the BBC - finally a new, returnable, shiny floor show doing very solid numbers.

ITV this Christmas:

Tuesday 27th @ 7.30pm - Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire
Wednesday 28th @ 7.30pm - Harry Potter & The Order of The Phoneix
Thursday 29th @ 7.30pm - Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince
Friday 30th @ 8pm - Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Part 1

I kid you not. Presumably Hallows 2 will go on New Year's Eve. So incredibly lazy, yet still somehow an improvement on the tripe that's gone in those slots in the last couple of years.

The first 3 have afternoon screenings on Xmas Eve, Day and Boxing Day.
Well I imagine that won't go down too well in some corners - though in ratings terms it won't be too bad.

I feel like it's got the fingerprints of Kevin Lygo all over it. From his interview at Edinburgh and a couple of the big decisions he's taken, he strikes me as rather more ruthless than previous ITV management. On non-priority days like those leading up to New Year, he's not about to spend more than he has to on inevitably lowly rated fare, just to keep up some pretence. More likely likely to bite the bullet, and turn out this line up to get solid audience share for minimum outlay. Going to ruffle some feathers for sure, but it does at least seem like a concerted plan for the channel and I think might do some good to the numbers - which is what he's all about.

Or it suggests Digiguide can't be bothered. It's been all over the place for months.

I know the quality of TV stories in the papers have set a very low bar recently, but that one takes the biscuit as the stupidest story ever. Words fail me, they really do.

The latest screening aired at 2330 on New Year's Eve in the 1980s.

It gets reasonable viewers against ITV shows and hard to place it anywhere else.

Holby City is on Tuesdays Ex Scotland. Generally rules out Wednesday as you wouldn't want it on twice.
Thursday Vs ITV soaps at 8 pm. Uses up a drama slot or valuable slot if at 9 pm.

Monday is ITV soap full, and in Winter used for top drama like Silient Witness.
Friday would have to be 8.30 and Vs ITV soap and breaks up comedy night.

So basically hasn't got a home midweek.
Ideally they would only run for two blocks of, ooh let's say 13 weeks. But since that ain't happening, surely the best slot is 9pm after Holby? You've then got some nice crossover storyline potential.

I don't recall a jam packed ITV Christmas schedule across the whole festive period 6 years ago, or indeed 16 years ago. You'd get festive editions of Light ent which in those days would have been Blind Date or Barrymore, but that's no different to a festive Mr and Mrs or Through the Keyhole.

As Steve will no doubt point out, they ran back to back films way back in, was it 1992, and in those days a programme about paint drying would get 20m on ITV. It's always been about the BBC at Christmas, even in the days when it wasn't all about the BBC during the rest of the year.
