True, but my point it was strangled at birth, let's say Apprentice as an example, or The Missing, it's built up an audience then goes against IACGMOOH the viewers chooses which one to watch, and will catch up on the other as they know it and invested time on it. Yes WAF it's easy to catch up, but with one episode at Christmas before it gad no locality. I like it but agree some bits of it are unfunny and once you had the joke once, like the advert for the album, then that's it.

I took off many of the channels the drama would be shown on to make it far less BBC Vs ITV, and in order of the Radio Times choice of the top 17 dramas in 17. |

Walliams and Friends is rating worse than Goodnight Sweetheart, which viewers wanted back but the BBC did not do apparently as it did not rate well enough. So on that basis it has to be gone, surely.

Riff Offs, Mash-Ups, solo showdowns and group harmonies are coming to BBC One in 2017, as a brand new Saturday night music entertainment show Pitch Battle (w/t) searches the nation to find Britain’s best singing group, it was announced today.
Commissioned from Tuesday's Child, Pitch Battle (w/t) is a contemporary competition that will feature the best singing groups from across the UK and from all musical styles: pop, rock, folk and gospel to a capella groups and even fishermen’s choirs. Over the course of five hour-long, heat episodes, they'll compete head-to-head over a series of choral challenges including Pitch Perfect inspired Riff Offs, a soloists challenge and an a capella round. The groups will need to pull out-all-the-stops in this no-chords-barred, sing or be sung-off tournament to win the live final. www.bbc/co.uk/mediacentre |

17:45 - Film: Santa Claus: the Movie (Premiere): 15.60m (Shown at 15:10-16:55 in Scotland)
19:30 - 'Allo 'Allo!: 17.05m 20:00 - Last of the Summer Wine: 17.10m ITV 16:05 - 3-2-1 Christmas Special: 5.80m 17:05 - News 17:15 - The Cannon and Ball Show: 7.40m 18:15 - Bobby in Wonderland: 5.70m 19:05 - Watching Special: 6.00m 20:05 - Film: Sherlock Holmes: The Sign of Four (Premiere): 5.40m Monday 26 December 1988: BBC1 19:20 - Civvy Street: an EastEnders Special 7.00m 20:20 - Film: Beverly Hills Cop (Premiere): 12.85m 22:05 - The Lenny Henry Special: 8.30m 22:45 - News 22:55 - Bruce and Ronnie in the Corbett and Forsyth Show Below 5.20m ITV 15:40 - Film: Octopussy (R): 10.20m (17:00 - News and Sport) 18:15 - Strike It Lucky: 12.30m 19:00 - The Krypton Factor Grand Final: 12.65m 19:30 - Coronation Street: 15.60m Civvy Street opposite Corrie hardly seems the most intelligent scheduling. As Brucie mentioned in his book, they were quite excited about doing Bruce and Ronnie because they'd done the Royal Variety together, to huge acclaim, and that led to this special, but while they were rehearsing it the producer Marcus Mortimer came into the rehearsal room in tears and said "I've just seen the schedule and we're on at eleven o'clock", which rather put a dampener on things. With Hilarious Consequences was notable as Denis Norden's only clipboard show for Thames, to mark their twentieth anniversary. That was the last episode of 321, while Cannon and Ball was their first show for Yorkshire after they'd been dropped by LWT. Not that it made any difference to the audience, because they were still on ITV and obviously LWT had to show them. Says much about the rest of the output it was the highest rated thing that night. Quote:
That Paul O'Grady factual piece was not deserving of such a low rating. It might have been niche, but I suspect had it been on another night or promoted it would have done better.
The other point is that sometimes channels don't promote things because they're a bit embarrassed by them and just want to get them out as quietly as possible without too many people noticing. |

That Strictly PR account is wrong, the most watched series was the 2010 series, that had an (if I remember rightly) 11.2m average.
But it is on course to be the 3rd most watched series and highest rated in 4 years. |

The fact only 3.8m tuned in on Christmas Eve (even if Christmas Eve/Day ratings have been in decline) suggests there wasn't much interest in it in the first place. Compare that to the 10.3m (12.5m consolidated) that tuned into the first Come Fly With Me. Admittedly that was on Christmas Day but I think it would still have been between 8-10m elsewhere.

Any similarity to Strictly is purely coincidental. |

It didn't get 6 million though. In any case, it wasn't a "massive'" audience.
Of course Six million isn't massive for Walliams and Freind, but according to you is for X Factor. ! |

That's what Radio Timrs reports are rarely wrong.
EDIT: I've never defended X Factor's woeful ratings once this year, so you might want to factcheck that one.

Another user on a previous page said it got 3.83m on its first showing and consolidated to less than 5.4m. That's certainly not 6m is it?

Write to Radio Times to tell them you think they are wrong.
I was also correcting you about your incorrect X Factor claim. |
