Alan Carr is not the ratings disaster he's made out to be, his shows do quite well for Channel 4.

Not a great night all round. Horrific for Ninja Warrior and Take Me Out. I know it was New Year's Eve but that's still dreadful. I hope for their sake both see a significant improvement next week. Not bad for Harry Potter considering. Passable for the wrestling considering the slot, it will be interesting to see what it can manage away from New Year's Eve.
Peter Pan aside, BBC One had a solid night even if the fireworks were a bit lower than previous years. I kind of feel Peter Pan was a waste there. Alan Carr looks to have done decently for Channel 4 although I'm sure his New Year shows have been higher than that previously. |

There was certainly an expectation there'd be more.

Oh and how many people said no before Melvin Odoom was drafted in to host the fireworks, finished last in Strictly 2016.

On another note, I was surprised how poorly Peter Pan goes wrong did. I thought it was dreadful, but then I can't stand slapstick humour, but I thought it would appeal to bbc viewers. |

Thanks to rzt
New year's fireworks.. 11.63 62.4 * Peak: 11.73 62.7 at 00.05 Peter pan goes wrong.. 2.63 14.2 Pointless... 3.76 21.0 Casualty... 3.55 20.4 Mrs browns boys... 3.24 19.1 Graham Norton show... 3.78 23.5 Robbie rocks big Ben live... 6.06 37.1 Robbie rocks (after fireworks)... 6.64 47.9 ITV Inc +1 Wos wrestling... 1.25 7.3 Ninja warrior UK... 2.08 11.4 Take me out... 2.12 11.9 Harry Potter... 2.82 17.1 I saw a bit of the wrestling, very hard relaunching a UK brand which hasn't seen main channel exposure for 30 years-with no active connection with that past. Interesting seeing Mark Rocco and Marty Jones though, and I did catch the women which was interesting. I was on the verge of suggesting the addition of mud, but maybe that's the wrong stereotype for the modern era ![]() Other than that solid evening schedule(although from the bit I saw the Peter Pan thing is not my kind of humour) for BBC. Later on though , and even though its drifted down its still a spectacular rating for the fireworks. Brilliant as well for the wrap around concert which has established itself as a true event-as long as they can keep getting acts with decent back catalogues it should continue to be so. |

I watch a lot of BBC One but these new idents - they don't deserve to be called that - are absolutely woeful. For a national broadcaster, the BBC is clearly sapped of all creativity.

Even old people don't want to watch old people's wrinkly backsides doddering into a grey sea as they wait for a programme to start. WTF were they thinking, other than "We get billions a year without having to work for it so let's piss some of it away on this tut"? |

Indeed - Staggeringly bad and absurdly pleased with itself, as if being faux-crap was an innovative idea. Worst thing I saw all year without a shadow of a doubt - Got the rating it deserved.

Any ratings for the phenomenally fortuitously timed Doddy shows on Five?

Also worth noting re World of Sport that wrestling was the only consistant draw on Sky Box Office (before WWE put all the shows on their streaming service), and given ITV are setting up a pay per view channel I would certainly imagine WoS is getting some kind of series regardless.

There was certainly an expectation there'd be more. Nearly 7m people watching Robbie Williams sing. Not bad for a guy who people have been questioning the appeal of. Recent polling suggested 78% of people would be in somebody's home for NYE. 10m people suggested they'd be on their own. Curious that the viewing figures are so low. We stayed in and watched Deadpool. We loved it. |

When I get over the shock of how bad the new BBC1 idents are I'll.say more. It could take awhile.

LiS is new and therefore interesting, last night shows that Ninja isn't that strong a format. Ninja could struggle against it, especially with the YBF hindrance. |

Well it seemed a potentially dangerous move to run NW and TMO on New Years Eve. and so its proved. Arguably the worst night of the year to launch them, suppose its unfortunate NYE fell on the Saturday.

Presumably ITV launched Ninja Warrior last night to fit in with their schedule for Saturday Night Takeaway and Britain's Got Talent. Perhaps they would have been better off screening it tonight at 7pm and moving it to Saturday next week.
It'll be interesting to see if it is back to normal next week or if it stays low (it'll be higher than last night but could still be below last year). |

It's being repeated today and it'll get a decent catch-up audience, it'll probably end up being seen by 4m people instead of 5m people. I wonder how many people on here often watch it but didn't see it last night. I'm one. |
