I think that's a very good point, no one expects ITV to throw the kitchen sink at the schedule but to make at least some effort. I think Christmas Eve on ITV is very strong but the rest of the period is somewhat lacking.

We talked about Santa Claus the other day but it was certainly big news that Christmas for me as not only was it premiered on BBC1, it was also our Christmas film in school. That was the series, of course, where Allo Allo was 26 episodes long so they could flog it abroad easier, but seemingly it didn't work out as the following series were of a more conventional length. The TV Times for that year is very strange, because the film guide says that The Sign of Four is not the film but a repeat of the Granada series with Jeremy Brett, and then on the programme pages there's an apology that is actually is the film after all. Dunno what happened there.
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. 1988 was a good year for sitcom on BBC1. I think 17m was the highest rating 'Allo, 'Allo ever had and this was part of their mammoth 26 episode series 5 (made to crack America), that ran from September 1988 to February 1989. Last Of The Summer Wine was still doing well with Seymour instead of Foggy. Bread was BBC1's biggest sitcom and got pride of place on Christmas Day. It managed 20m earlier in the year. But I think Dates was a turning point for Only Fools. People went into Christmas Day talking about Bread and came out of it talking about Only Fools. It started a perfect run of episodes that went into the excellent 1989 series that moved to 50 minute episodes and gave us exploding dolls and Del falling through a bar, and ended with The Jolly Boys Outing. Only Fools was back in a big way that period with the 1988 special winning a BAFTA and The Jolly Boys Outing in 1989 being the first episode to get 20m. |

Good rating. Up nearly 2m on Prey last year.
Wonder if This Time Next Year did any better this week? It seems to have been recommissioned so hopefully it was back above 3m. |

I'm still shocked that Prey 2 did so badly after a successful first series.
In Plain Sight I find more entertaining. It probably also helps that This Time Next Year was around 3m, compared with Jekyll & Hyde at 1.6m last year. |

ITV rating well leading up to Christmas is not usually a fequent occurance. Tonight won't be at 9pm anyway. Friday....I can't see The Hobbit doing anymore than 3.5m, but if it got that it would be fine. Its been on less than the 1st film. |

It was a run of the mill crime drama. The 1st series was good, but not excellent. The 2nd...well I watched the first ep, but didn't bother with the rest.

But nobody predicted Prey to drop off a cliff in the ratings like that. In Plain Sight was good, glad it did well.

Wonder if This Time Next Year did any better this week? It seems to have been recommissioned so hopefully it was back above 3m. Season 2 needs to slow it down and allow the viewers to get to know the people. The opening interview could be a little longer and more time could be spent on showing their journey. Having one fewer story per episode won't hurt it. I still feel it would be better in a Surprise Surprise slot, around 7pm on a Sunday. Something like: 6:30 - Quiz 7:15 - TTNY 8:15 - Durrells 9:15 - Crime drama (maybe set a long time ago) Those junctions are probably not acceptable on a Sunday in 2018 so the quiz would be 6:15. The BBC would expect Countryfile to counter and neutralise it. |

I will just like to wish everyone on the ratings thread a Merry Christmas, The Brian Fox prpgramme on BBC Two may be worth watching on Christmas Day. If you get bored of predictable stuff on BBC One.
