As much as I like the idea of Champions League on BBC it will never happen.
Brilliant number for Fawlty Towers. Such a brilliant sitcom. I feel Citizen Khan will not be getting a 3rd series and Walliams and Friends should have kept to specials. I have never "got" David Walliams' appeal. EastEnders was fantastic last night a brilliant mix of humour and suspence at the end of the episode. |

Tell that to the staff who have been made redundant !
What it did was make Sky ridiculously overbid for the PL rights so I'd did affect then indirectly. They have been looking at cuts ever since. You can bet that Sky will want the CL back. Still the biggest club competition around. Just not a good period for English teams. Also, the cord cutting will be affecting them too. Sort of the pressures are due to streaming rather than BT. Churn is at 11% rather than the normal 9.5%. They're hoping sky Mobile will help with that. |

He was on This Morning the other day and they asked why he was still doing the US show but not willing to stay on in the UK given how many now want him to stay.
He said it was contractual. The BBC contract was just one year. The US one covers next year as well. But intimated he would probably leave that when free to do so as well. As for a replacement he only said it should be a judge with experience of ballroom and latin as that is important for the balance on the show. It seems as though he may well call it a day when his contract ends with DWTS. It wont be quite the same without Len on SCD, the series has been hugely lucky to have been able to use just six permanent judges in 12 years. They struck gold from the outset and had the sense to leave well alone for the most part. Len has been a cornerstone of the success of the show and it will be a rare moment of examination for the show when the new judge takes over. |

Well let's see what Gavin Rossdale says about The Voice shall we?
http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/the-voi...nts-auditions/ "On the new twist - which will feature the famous red chairs NOT turning around if the coaches don't hit their buzzer - the former Bush frontman continued: "It's a crusher, so I feel bad them. "It's cold - [but] some people will feel bad, and some laugh their heads off. TV shows are all about moments of drama,and being cold and mean and really good viewing, but it's really rubbish if it's you." . The reality is ITV can't run the shows at the length the BBC did. They were bloated without ads and most of the show is filled with unnecessary chatter. This has to be cut down. ITV have found a way to do so which makes sense to me. It's not necessary to spend 5 minutes showing the judges chatting to contestants which we won't see again. |

He said in another interview the money for the US show was a lot more; even though he travels first class and knocks back the champers with Bruno he is finding it very tiring and wants to spend more time with his family.

The ratings for Alan Carr's Happy Hour are horrendous, Channel 5 had an okay night breaking 1m at 9pm

Whatever happens The Voice will do better than most entertainment shows ITV have put on Saturday nights.
They should manage that at least - maybe 5.5m each for LIS and TVUK? There's 12m watching now and this is before Xmas and the bad weather. |

Is he? I didn't know that. I read somewhere he is giving up because he doesn't want to start getting dithery on screen, but that would seem to apply only to British tv. I also read he gets over £1 million for DWTS (massively more than SCD) so there are incentives it would seem.

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. Generally I do like Harry Enfield (and Walliams) anyway.

It may have caused them to overpay for the EPL but they saved hundreds of millions in UCL costs. They seem to be cutting costs in some areas but then spending more in other. Maybe it's more a shift from sport to entertainment.
Also, the cord cutting will be affecting them too. Sort of the pressures are due to streaming rather than BT. Churn is at 11% rather than the normal 9.5%. They're hoping sky Mobile will help with that. It's going to be a vicious circle for both. If Sky get the UCL back then BT will go big on the next EPL rights. |

Alan Carr's Happy Hour: 0.55m (2.7%)
Still a chance they will bring Chatty Man back I hope (which, when he has the right guests, can still be brilliant). I believe it's back on Christmas Day. I don't understand why they just don't have it on when Graham Norton isn't on. |

Alan Carr Happy Hour wasn't too bad. But it did feel like Ch4 just commissioned anything, and it was an on the spot commission.

Will last night's figure encourage BBC1 to repeat the rest of Fawlty Towers.
Great figure. Didn't watch last night (I've got all the episodes on video but haven't watch those videos for a few years. This is the age of DVD and OnDemand) but I think I'll watch it tonight on BBC1 Scotland. |

May have is a bit of an understatement.
It's going to be a vicious circle for both. If Sky get the UCL back then BT will go big on the next EPL rights. sky were probably as worried about the internet lot as they were with BT. However, I do wonder if sky are working towards having fewer football matches and becoming more diverse. Things change fast though. The UCL is hoping to have games on weekends which would be a major development if they could pull it off. Seems very unlikely. |

Got my Christmas Radio Times today.
![]() An observation from it. The final of The Apprentice and The Apprentice: You're Hired have been listed as separate programmes. It's what many on here have been wanting for a few years now. It means we might have a situation where the actual hour-long final is down year-on-year but the BBC might be able to boast it's up because they've stripped out the lower ratings that You're Hired gets. And I'm glad that ITV have stuck Harry Potter on in peak-viewing every night from Holiday Tuesday to (I presume) New Year's Eve because it'll give this household a chance to catch up with all the programmes we'll have to record because of clashes and awkward scheduling. Talking of awkward scheduling - that Emmerdale scheduled for 8/30pm on Thursday 29th December starts half way through every other channel's opposition including Life In The Snow on BBC1, Robot Wars: Battle Of The Stars on BBC2, Location Location Location on Channel 4. and Biggest Dog In The World on Channel 5. Talk about making things awkward for yourself. Unless they think The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is going to be a big ratings hit. Didn't The Amazing Spider-Man 1 get about 3.5m. That wouldn't be much of a lead-in. |

That wouldn't be much of a lead-in. I think HP will average circa two million, it gives BBC1 a free reign on many nights. Frozen gets Barry Normans film choice, from 2013 whereas The Lion King 1996 - is a good film, but now twenty plus years old and repeated later in the week on ITV2. Captain Phillips looks alone as a great first run film on ITV. |

I much as I like FT suspect had they repeated it any other time it wouldn't have rated as well. I rememer The One Show did a tribute to Terry Wogan afte he passed away, and its ratings rose by 1m more.
