Is Captain Phillips a terrestial premiere? Cannot remember it being shown before. It is a very good film.
ITV are wasting it in that slot. Deserves better. And inexcusable when there's night after night of Potter repeats in peak over the festive period on the same channel. |

Bit of a surprise to see Tour de Celeb trending on social media.
C5 clearly had no confidence in it given it has been sat on the shelf for ages and played out at 7PM which is not core peak for them. |

I believe so. Good film yes - but then, when is Tom Hanks in a bad one?

Could Blankety Blank be the start of things to come? Because it is on Xmas it's not seen as desperate revival but instead may be perceived as being special.
So next year could we have GGame in the 7:30 slot, maybe BBreak on Xmas Eve? ITV could try it with lots of old shows, you know the ones. Imagine if this had been done with a good reboot of Stars in your Eyes. This is the same simple idea as putting the one-off sitcoms on over Xmas. AYBS or GSweetheart (etc) would have seemed so different over Xmas. People like something familiar but also different at Xmas. In the past that meant celebrity specials but that won't work now. It's a pilot but with an easy excuse and out. |

Rightly or wrongly, I am 99.9% certain that the Potter repeats will do better than Captain Phillips would in primetime. I can see why it's frustrating to see its premiere aired in such a late slot, but ratings-wise it is probably the right move.
If a big title on ITV2 can fetch maybe 800,000 over the festive period, I find it hard to believe a major premiere like Captain Phillips would be disgraced on the main channel. |

Ant and Dec are on fire tonight, that's what makes the show, every link is a masterclass. Imagine what it would be like if someone like Davina or Caroline Flack was hosting, and linking the clips in a straight manner.

This is the biggest, most ludicrous practical joke since Jeremy Beadle convinced that lady that an alien had landed in her back garden. |

Strictly's 7-day consolidated rating for last Saturday's Blackpool show (12.24m) pips the main performance programme for last year's final (12.23m) but trails the final's results show (12.47m).

Another HUGE Strictly rating. Is that the tape-checked rating lewie?
![]() The 12.24m official for last week's Strictly is its highest rating non final show since 19 November 2011 (although an edition from 8 December 2012 had 12.04m in the officials). It is on a roll this year. For some reason I'm thinking next year's series will dip. But it is way too early to be thinking about 2017 yet

Is that Tracy Ullman a rpt at 10pm on Christmas Eve? If so that pretty poor for BBC1. I'd like Outnumbered on Christmas Eve.

There I was ready to watch Have I got more news for you, because I didn't see the normal edition on Friday due to I'm a Celeb, and they've only gone and shunted it back to 11:15 so they can repeat Walliams and Friend before it.
Seems a bit odd prioritising entirely repeat content over partial new/partial repeat content but there you go, the BBC must be desperate for Walliams and Friend to be a hit. |

I loved her revived sketch show, wasn't there a second series commissioned? If so, when will it air? |

The Tracy Ullman Show, like Humans and Indian Summers, is one of those shows that gets hailed as a smash-hit because lots of people watch the heavily-hyped first episode. But maybe people should wait to see how many are still watching by the final episode before they make such assertions. |
