A bit random but I would put money on Taboo flopping badly next Saturday. It doesn't look like it has mass appeal at all. It reminds me, actually, of when they tried out The Muskateers on a Saturday night sandwiched between the Lottery and Casualty - and that ended badly.
Another bizarre scheduling decision on now the worst presented television channel. |

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.
Repeated tonight for some baffling reason. Taboo does scream flop - I think we're having period drama overload lately. Expect it to be moved to a graveyard slot in the week to end it's life. |

Looks like Channel 5's cricket coverage is overrunning

The New Year is upon us so it's time for a brand new season of the DS Ratings Prediction Game, now in it's 37th season!
Unlike the bumper schedules surrounding Christmas and New Year, this is a more sedate affair with only 20 programmes listed but that's not to mean the challenge is any less, with the switching Voice UK, new hope Let It Shine and drama The Halcyon joining returnees such as Silent Witness, Death in Paradise, Unforgotten and Endeavour in the line up. So why not put your guesses on the line and have a go? Whether you're a regular player, lapsed competitor looking for a return or a DSRPG virgin, everyone is welcome! Simply click HERE, left click 'Quotre', delete the 'Quote' marks and get predicting! Thank you to everyone who takes part.

I noticed that Antiques Roadshow is back next week - Please BBC retire this crap after 40 years. We're not all old and senile and worship Useless May.

Just shows how terribly WOSW did. I certainly can't see them doing any more on the main channel. |

Mind you, their schedule from 8pm onwards is dreadful anyway. Including a docudrama starting at 9:45 which is not in line with any of the other major channels. |

Why should they retire it? Just because you think they should? As it is it gets a solid audience for them so I see no reason why they would or should.

Those that don't have plenty of choice elsewhere. |

I just think it's had it's day and it's too posh and older skewing. Retire it to BBC2 or BBC4.

Exactly. Enough people like it to justify showing it.

The NYE overnights seem ok really.
The BBC1 rebrand however is not. Worst idents in the history of TV on this evidence: https://youtu.be/meo_aDYcUt4 ![]() Happy new year everyone They'd have been better just bringing back the balloon, much like how BBC2 has reinstated the 2's. At least they'd save money and have a strong brand. "Oneness" Ok they've clearly been sniffing something dodgy in the broom cupboard over Christmas.... |

But you have a problem with shows that you perceive to be 'posh' and 'middle class'.

I just think these sort of shows alienate ordinary people and we need to have a wide mix. There is BBC2 and BBC4 for that crap. BBC1 should be an entertainment channel - no place for people selling Antiques.

Really? It got more than half of Ninja and TMO despite being up against Liverpool v Man City and other football.
They might do more on ITV4 or ITV Box Office, but they certainly shouldn't on the main channel. |

Cricket on Five finished half an hour later than billed. 101 Dalmatians was replaced by a repeat of Secrets Life of Pets.
It's amateur hour though because the EPG has still not updated and there is no live continuity announcements during the day so it was just a basic "change to the advertised schedule..." one they had pre-recorded, with no info on timings. |
