It's almost as if the BBC are wanting it to do well and kill off a certain other programme.

I'm going to predict 7.1m for Let it Shine and 6.4m for The Voice.
I think Let it Shine will rise but I think The Voice will fall. I think that Let It Shine prediction is way too high but we'll see. |

Regarding 'other channels' that are posted, do no shows on Sky 1/Living get into the top 10. I thought some of their shows get close to a million? Also where can these ratings got from?

Yes, I agree. It will fall into the 5s then the 4s very quickly, but since it's a thread favourite it will still be lauded as 'decent' rather than dire, 'acceptable' rather than atrocious and 'passable' rather than pathetic.
I think that Let It Shine prediction is way too high but we'll see. Where has the idea that the thread has a collective opinion come from? Nothing on here is a "thread favourite". |

Dan you've obviously got some sort of vendetta against The Voice, god knows why.

Actually the term "thread favourite" is thrown about quite a lot.
What shows are supposedly "thread favourites" then? |

It won't be the thread favourite anymore. It was popular here as it was seen as the anti-Cowell show, giving him a bloody nose by watching it. Now it's on ITV it'll get the same reaction as The X Factor did by certain people.
When was the last time a show switching from BBC One to ITV was a success? The only one I can think of is Birds of a Feather and that's after 15 years away, when it returned with 9.5m - not that it sustained that figure. |

Just found these from the Guardian/Observer archive I have access to, 35 years ago to the very week (well, yesterday). If this thread was around then, I'm sure people would've adored Crossroads

Shows how utterly dominant ITV was in ratings terms - churning out some pretty dismal shows but getting monster ratings....

1981 to 1983 was a particularly bad period for the BBC iirc after the loss of headline acts and lack of creative scheduling- before Michael Grade took on the challenge.
That figure for Carry on Laughing is amazing, just a clip show. Whatever must have been the BBC opposition! Quote:
Worth pointing that out, when people away say ITV would get better ratings if they showed "better programmes like in the old days"
Then you look and see those high rating programmes were stuff like Cannon and Ball, 321 etc. Anything along those lines would be sub 3m these days. |

Thanks for the old ratings!
I can't believe how popular Last of a Summer Wine was. I think it's one of the worst, least funny shows on UK TV, and that says a lot. I've forced myself to watch reruns recently. Maybe it's my age, I'm in my 20s, but I love all things 70s and 80s, films, TV and music... LOTSW though is certainly not one of them. |

The Compo/Clegg/Foggy era of Last Of The Summer Wine is magnificent. I'll defend that period but no other.
Of course it now exists again, with stereotype northern men and Nora Batty style northern women, just in the setting of a shop. |

I would agree, it went down hill when Compo died, and then later when it became a pension top up for any actor of a certain age who could do a Yorkshire accent. Then Russ Abbott tuned up...

Re The Voice, it's never been a thread favourite. Go back to the thread archive from around May 2012 and after its first live shows when the ratings dropped by huge amounts. And also from 2013. People slated it.
I won't be watching it. Sick of these "singing shows" now, for me they all merge into one. Will see what Let it Shine is like, the amount of trailers I've seen for it is crazy. |

I think it's fair to say that Let it Shine is getting a bit of promotion.
Adverts in between every single programme by the look of it, plus radio adverts, and features on Breakfast. It's almost as if the BBC are wanting it to do well and kill off a certain other programme. I wonder if Channel 4 are looking on, as just wait until the BBC start promoting the show that will air against Bake Off. I expect Bake Off won't be mentioned again on the BBC until they report on the lower ratings, which will no doubt get a high profile spot on the Ten. |

I've seen a lot of magazines really bigging up Let It Shine over TVUK. The latter used to feature quite heavily on the front covers when it started. Now its been pushed aside. I think TVUK will launch around 6.5m. In there will be a mixture of viewers who will watch it regardless and those who are inquisitive. The loss of viewers who wach weekends on BBC1 for most of the year will be back on BBC1 with Let It Shine. |

Let it Shine has had extensive promotion with the trailer, magazine covers, Facebook adverts, a launch event, interviews, a special BBC One sting, etc.
If it fails to deliver it certainly won't be through lack of promotion. |

Carry on Laughing was at 7.30, between Give Us a Clue at 7.0 and London Night Out at 8.0. |

Daytime series The Sheriffs Are Coming starts tonight on BBC1 at 8pm. Despite being pretty dull, I bet its over 4m.

BBC News at 1pm is often 2.5m-3.5m (30%) in January so its got a solid lead in to take advatage of. |
