Last night BBC director of content Charlotte Moore unveiled the BBC’s Christmas schedule and said: “The Voice and Bake Off might be going but this presents us all with a fantastic creative opportunity to invest in more home grown ideas and discover the next generation of hits. We’re going to play with formats, create new slots across the week and on Saturdays, we’re already piloting some exciting shows.”
Right Charlotte, (you annoy me at times) I have an idea for you (don't groan) but I have seen the line up for the Swedish Eurovision National Final MelodiFestivalen and the talent is through the roof. Develop Eurovision: You Decide and you know spend some blinking money to get the talent in and film it at arenas around the UK and have the final at the O2 arena. I bet Graham would LIVE to do this. Spend the money Charlotte don't be satisfied with just turning up. Rather than cheap shiny floor LE Let's Drag up for "X" Relief or Let it Dull or Let's try and replace two of the blinking Spice Girls the most successful and iconic girl group of all time!. Actually invest in a format that might yield a return. It could be a spectacular rival to The Voice especially as the contest is skewing younger these days. You already have formats there Charlotte to make big. Use them! |

Delaying doesn't really achieve anything, does it? It's a waste of time really. I would say I expect better from Auntie but I don't - something similarly petty happened with Neighbours.

Did anyone watch Walliams & Friend tonight? What do you honestly think of it?
I can't honestly believe it was commissioned. Waste of money and time. I like David Walliams but compared to Little Britain, its just on a completely different level. |

But I think despite the poor lead in, Midsomer Murders should manage a sold 5m in that slot. The Sound Of Music Live managed 4m last year with the same 2.5m lead in. And Midsomer will likely attract the older audience. I can't for the life of me understand why SPOTY does so well though. |

This will possibly be one of the rare times when BBC1 get a young audience and ITV gets an older one. Midsomer Murders is televised Seven Seas Cod Liver Oil. It's such old people's television.

What? The last thing BBC wants at the moment is to win the Eurovision Song Contest. It's a money pit. Your proposal would put UK in severe danger of doing well and is therefore totally unacceptable on all levels. Which part of funding cuts and additional financial burdens do you not understand?
![]() Ireland after awhile didn't want to win it as it cost them so much to stage it. Father Ted spoofed that situation. The BBC would love the UK to win it again. Next year will be TWENTY years since the U.K. last won it! I don't know where you got that theory from as it's wrong and I say that as somebody that knows someone that has worked on the BBC end for several years. |

Will.I.Am has stated on The Graham Norton Show has said that if you don't turn for the hopeful then you can't comment. So if no "mentors" turn the contestant just walks off. How cruel ITV. How cruel. :Rolls Eyes:

It'll be interesting to see how it rates away from IAC and particularly in two weeks time against ITV's low-rated comedy. Expect it won't rise very much if at all. Viewers no longer have just three or four channels to choose from. |

I wouldn't take anything Baz posts seriously. He likes being rude to other posters and winding them up.

Well it gets rid of that inane chatter that many moaned about for the last few years, when each of the judges who didn't turn state they were close to turning, and oh how they wished they had turned.

Yes. And as they attract such different audiences, both could be looking at 6m+ averages.

Improving the brand in the UK is important before they can attempt something even slightly more ambitious (Let's not forget Sweden have their biggest acts and songwriters vying for glory, it would take a seismic shift for that to happen here atm) |
