Every family member has a designated button on a keypad (with additional ones for guests programmable for correct demos).
Every time someone enters or leaves the room, they press their button. Must be tedious and I expect there's a lot of forgetfulness. Just imagine having a busy family Christmas and having to keep on pressing buttons!!! The system's big failing is differentiating between passive and active viewing. I'm going to guess that people don't press the button when they nip to the toilet or to the fridge. I will always pause the TV when I do that (my wife loves me) but most normal people just miss a few minutes. People tend to nip off during advert breaks so it shouldn't affect commercial TV so much. For stuff on the BBC or sky Cinema there will be more people leaving the room that Barb are probably not counting - well really they are counting them when they should not be. Not a good system. ps - Happy Hanukkah folks. |

. MM on Christmas Eve is a good idea as it has got 7 million viewers, 16.45 to me feels too early for MM. It props up tonight. I would leave Doctor Who in, have maybe Revolting Rhymes part 1 in at 4.45, an early part 1 EE at some point, GBBO yes at 8 following SCD and Sherlock. CTM On NYD which is also a Sunday its home Day, |

I think the fims on ITV this afternoon/ealy evening will do well. It might encourage ITV to use Disney films more frequently at Christmas.

I also don't understand why ITV are promoting Corrie for tomorrow, but not tonight's 'extra' Saturday episode also? |

This way the Christmas episode would be swansong for Bake Off rather than Boxing Day. Then for Boxing Day:
Spoiler
The second Still Open All Hours is moved from New Years Day to still offer a strong lead in to Witness for the Prosecution. For the Wednesday, having lost Ethel and Ernest:
Spoiler
The additional EastEnders epsiode here will come clear shortly. For New Year's Eve:
Spoiler
Not many changes but new programming all the way through rather than two repeats across primetime. As for New Year's Day:
Spoiler
The additional EastEnders epsiode for Wednesday is found from here, with the soap cut from a 60 minute to 30 minute episode. But, from a ratings perspective, how would that do? |

Lesley's Joseph is on Christmas Eve three times tonight. Pointless Celebrities, Blankety Blank and Birds of a Feather.

It wouldn't be difficult for the BBC to leak the photos to drum up some drama, just like ITV used to do with X Factor back in the day (Cheryl and Danni's SHOCKING backstage FIGHT, etc.).

Well, in the past 15 minutes I've seen two trailers for The Lion King on ITV. Can't say that it has not been promoted!

It would have made more sense to promote the 'festive season in Corrie', with all of the times on the endboard of the trailer.
I think both the BBC and ITV could make big improvements in their marketing/promotion. Also I note the new trailer for Ninja Warrior is as cringeworthy as the last one, and even the XF promos from this year. |

Interestingly David Walliams mentioned in passing that it's Christmas Eve at the start of Blanekty Blank so this must have been filmed very recently, after the schedule was finalised.
He also stated in passing that they might be planning to make it into a series: "We're calling this as a Christmas Special and not a pilot so, if it isn't made into a series, we can just say 'No, we were never planning that in the first place!'"

ITV3's Christmas schedule looks loads more appetising and classy than big ITV.

The BBC seems to do well with promotion, ITV used to be good pre 2005ish.

Not expecting a good number for Blankety Blank tonight. Wouldn't be surprised if it was low 3m but I've got a feeling even that may be optimistic.

You'd think itv are more concerned with the AI than the actual overnight. Pointless is bound to beat it because it is a well-known show. It's amusing seeing people tweet about missing Lily Savage - I imagine for many they don't remember Les never mind Terry. |

Yeah I've predicted too high for Blankety Blank. It's ok, not brilliant but enjoyable and nice to see it back. I just hope it doesn't get torn apart and heavily dissected when the ratings come in.
On a related note, if you want cheering up search on YouTube for Blankety Blank outtakes from the Lily Savage era. It's pure gold

Yeah 3m seems a good guess. The share will be more interesting as I can't imagine that many are watching TV currently.
