Oh the irony of who posted after you...
Nothing changes. It's incredibly tedious though.

There are times ADP when you can criticise a rating for a BBC programme and not just solely let ITV have your generous gift of critisicism.

I might be ITV biased, but I have and will rightly pull up a poor ITV rating.

Miranda started out on Fridays at 8:30pm against Coronation Street. If it appeals to people they'll come to it. BBC Two put Pompidou on Sunday at 6:30pm - I believe BBC One had Blandings on Sunday at around 7pm. The former struggled from the off while the latter managed a few series. I can't help thinking a weeknight slot would be better for a new comedy.

With regards to Goodnight Sweetheart, I'm interested to know if Marks & Gran have tried to get ITV to pick it up - I've sent them a tweet. As Score mentioned yesterday, I'm not sure I fancy its chances though wherever it goes, given it only got 3.7m for the one-off edition a few months ago.
itv should snap up GS, it'd get 3-4m viewers which is a good rating these days; it's not like they have lots of comedy doing better.

You never know, it might be good, it might funny and pull in new viewers via WoM. In time it could be topping 4.5m. I am still surprised the BBC have said no but at least they have primetime comedy already.

Thanks Ray

The Chase had one of its best teams on yesterday, and each went away with over 20k. An excellent rating for the show.
Yeah i caught the latter half of the episode, good to see it was the highest rated one for quite some time. A strong team, with a towering leader capable of being a Chaser himself up against The Governess, excellent stuff.

Yesterday's episode of The Chase peaked with 4.9m (30%) in its closing minutes. Easily beat the slot average of 2.9m (23%). Average share of 27.7%.

The Chase's biggest daytime overnight rating since 2014 was 3.97m (21%) on 29/12/14 - it aired at 17:35 with no Pointless up against it. That rating is from ITV Media so is probably not tapechecked.

The biggest daytime rating ever is 4.33m (24.3%) on 21/01/13 (a snow day) - I certainly don't recall it being higher than that. The biggest celebrity edition rating is 4.82m/22.7% (exc +1) for 16/09/12. Again, if anyone's got some figures at hand, please feel free to share them.

Wowzer, it must have had a big response from social media that pulled more viewers in as the episode went on?

I could've sworn one episode reached 5m in Janauary 2013. Perhaps that was the peak.

But The Chase has sure been one of ITV's biggest successes in recent years. Never has the 5pm slot seen these sort of figures since the days of Home and Away.

To be fair The Chase tends to grow throughout normally anyway. We'll see tomorrow if it has meant more people have ended up tuning in today as a result of the response.

I remember seeing something like it in early 2013, where one player got back with £60,000 and ended up winning - the biggest prize fund for one player at the time. The episode the day after saw a notable increase. It was either that or the time that all four players got knocked out but the one player who played for the team ended up scoring enough to win £1,000 for each member of the team (also the first time that had happened).

Not sure where A.D.P. is getting his 1m on iPlayer for EE from.

Usually it's somewhere between 250-300k for the seven day, adding another 50k or so over the next 21 days.

Christmas week's figures are out today. 281k is the highest.

Aren't they requests as well, not necessarily people watching the whole show?

No, the TV Player Report works out a programme average similar to the regular BARB figures.

It's the BBC's own figures that are reported as requests.

Is that why the BBC's own figures are miles higher than the BARB ones?

So they're requests not programme averages and they include 'via TV' which are included in BARB's figures, so are in effect being double counted.

That might be a good advertisement for the lottery but I'd expect TV companies to make a rather more realistic and rational approach when deciding on what to spend their money. It might means it might not and given the fate of Birds Of A Feather over the past 2 years I think 'once bitten, twice shy' suggests that it most probably won't. Why anybody imagines that ITV would be in the market for another potential albatross is beyond me.

Correct. And the BBC's include devices connected to TV's and Smart TVs, which BARB include in their regular overnights/consolidated.

Eastenders has recorded a monthly overnight average of 5.80m (28.3%) during December 2016.

The overnight average for the whole year came in at 5.84m (29.2%), which is down 350k year-on-year.
Not a huge drop y-o-y then despite the crisis talk on here especially if that figure includes the Emmerdale clash episodes (which I'd remove for a fairer comparison). Don't forget the idiots in ITV scheduling have Emmerdale on 7 times a week every summer now.

Seems like quite a substantial drop to me when it was already at it's lowest point. And don't forget the BBC3 showing has gone now and you would have expected those viewers to switch to the regular edition on BBC1.

Gary Barlow is on R2 brekkie show tomorrow. They also discussed LIS on Ken Bruce's show today. BBC TV certainly gets some help from BBC radio.

To be fair, Kara Tointon was on Steve Wright today pumping the Halcyon. I thought her accent was a bit Dick van Dyke but apparently she used to be on EE. She certainly has made a splash this week and seems ready to crack the big time.

Pun intended, I assume?

Oh, and she's an Essex girl. I think she knows the accent!

Why is it an albatross? Wouldn't 3-4m be a decent and more rating these days? BOAF hasn't done too badly for it.
Maybe they would do ten episodes, split it over two runs and then call it a day. Or even just one 6 episode run and call it quits. Depends on the price.

Friday on BBC: Radio 2 in the Breakfast slot is very much a "Plug what BBC are showing this weekend show" now.

- UKTV's consolidated share of commercial viewership estimated to hit an all-time high of 9.87% for 2016
- UKTV Play saw a 74% increase in views year on year
- UKTV Originals made up six in 10 of highest rating shows on UKTV network last year
- Eight of Dave's top 10 shows were UKTV Originals
- Strongest Christmas period on record, including network's best day ever

UKTV, Britain's biggest multichannel broadcaster, is predicting it will register record-breaking growth in commercial audiences (SOCI) across the last 12 months.

UKTV is projecting 7.7% growth of its SOCI to a record year-end high of 9.87%, putting it ahead of Channel 5's full portfolio and all of Sky's wholly-owned channels (including movies and sport) for the second year running, and closing the gap with the ITV Digital channels group. UKTV's CEO Darren Childs, said,

UKTV's focus on content, brand and digital has grown audiences to almost 10% of all commercial TV viewing. In 2016 we broadened into new genres and built the popularity of programming such as Taskmaster, Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit and live sport. UKTV Play also grew VOD viewing by 74%, with more viewers coming in to our vibrant TV on demand service than ever before.

UKTV, which is an independent joint venture between BBC Worldwide and Scripps Network Interactive Inc. (SNI:NY), airs across its ten-channel network a mixture of UKTV Originals, smart acquisitions and the very best BBC programmes, which remain an important part of UKTV's offering and growth.

UKTV Originals

UKTV's strategy of bolstering schedules with bold, original programming continues to deliver results for the broadcaster, with viewing share up 7.3% in 2016[1]. In a significant shift, six of the top 10 rating shows on UKTV's network in 2016 were UKTV Originals, compared to only one in 2010. The broadcaster also worked with twice as many independent production companies in 2016 than in 2015, reinforcing UKTV's position as a significant investor in the UK creative industry.

Leading the commissioning drive was Dave, the country's most watched non-PSB channel, also named Best Entertainment Channel at the Broadcast Digital Awards. Dave's critically-acclaimed UKTV Originals brought in strong profile audiences, taking eight of the top 10 slots in the channel's ratings list for 2016 and bringing millions of users into TV on demand service UKTV Play. The list of top titles spans more genres than ever before and includes Red Dwarf XI (2.4 million Total Consumption), Live Boxing: David Haye v Mark De Mori (1.9m), Dave Gorman Modern Life is Goodish (1.1m), Taskmaster (1.3m), Celebrity Storage Hunters (1.4m), Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit (1.2m) and Zapped (1.1m) A new series of sharp-witted US acquisition Suits was also a top performer (737k).

TV On Demand

UKTV Play is the broadcaster's fastest-growing brand, with a 74% increase in direct-to-consumer views year on year. UKTV Originals perform well on the service; there was 179% growth in direct-to-consumer streams of originals from 2015. Downloads of the UKTV Play app were also up 98% year on year.

The hotly-anticipated Red Dwarf XI, which was the network's best performing show of the year, brought huge audiences into UKTV Play, with record-breaking numbers for the exclusive preview of the first episode, and a big drive for newly-launched user registration on uktvplay.co.uk. Following a four month, multi-layered digital campaign for the launch of Red Dwarf X1, Google Analytics data showed social media drove 40% of traffic to uktvplay.co.uk on day one of the preview.

UKTV's video on demand views across all platforms are up 51% year on year[2].

TV channels

A key moment in 2016 was the launch of UKTV's premium entertainment channel W in February. The channel achieved 5% growth in adult share year on year (versus Watch, which formerly took the slot), with viewership amongst the target female audience up by 20%. UKTV Original John Bishop: In Conversation With James Corden pulled in 1.1m, and homegrown Inside the Ambulance 192k. Celebrity Haunted Hotel Live, which featured top talent including Christine Lampard, John Thomson and Jamelia, performed 244% up on slot. Brand new commissions Dr Christian Will See You Now, Dancing for the Weekend and The Dressing Room are coming to the channel in 2017.

Britain's favourite comedy channel Gold had success with new and returning UKTV Originals. The Rebel, starring Simon Callow, attracted an audience of 459k and a second series of Marley's Ghosts. starring John Hannah, Sarah Alexander and Jo Joyner was watched by 424k. Ambitious scripted comedy commissions Murder on the Blackpool Express and Henry IX launch on the channel this year.

Drama, which is the number two non-PSB channel and shows mainly BBC content, had its best year ever, having grown share of viewing by 27% in 2016. Peaking with a daily share of 2.05%, the channel exceeded half a million viewers 31 times with popular BBC shows Inspector George Gently, Death in Paradise and New Tricks bringing in big audiences.

Festive Period

The Christmas period[3] was a record-breaker, with the network achieving 6.84% share, up 3% on its previous best in 2015. UKTV achieved its highest daily share ever recorded - 8.04% on 28th December, beating the previous high 7.64% set on March 27th 2016. Gold - rebranded Christmas Gold for the festive period - had its best Christmas since 2013.

This year UKTV will broadcast brand new series of its rating hit UKTV Originals Red Dwarf, Taskmaster, Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit, Crackanory, Dave Gorman Modern Life is Goodish and Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled. The broadcaster is also premiering new originations Joy of Techs, Used Car Wars, We Have Been Watching and Lizard Lick Touring, with more exciting originals to announce later this year.

Interested to see how established drama Unforgotten does against even more established drama DIP.

Last year ITV launch expensive drama Jericho in this same slot, and it wasn't even sampled by more than 3.3m, while DIP pulled in 6.8m.

Will the same happen again? The latter has an EE leg up, the ITV drama has however ITV's diet show does.

Hopefully Unforgotten can nudge 4m while DIP is over 6m.

Kara Tointon was plugging her latest stage role in Gaslight. The Halcyon was mentioned as an very brief aside just as she was leaving.

ITV excluding HD / excluding +1:
ED: 5.25m; CS: 5.96m; MM: 3.86m
From rzt

Inc +1
Emmerdale: 6.65m (33.6%)
Coronation Street: 7.70m (36.6%)
Midsomer Murders: 4.84m (21.7%)
Those are some good ratings for the ITV soaps - especially Corrie. They don't really have anything happening this week and it can still get 7.7m. This is purely cos it's January and the ratings for them go up.

Interesting to see how much they all add with HD and +1 included. Emmerdale adds 1.4m, Corrie adds 1.74m () and MM adds 0.98m. I feel like these new episodes of MM should be doing better and closer to 5.5m.

From ITV Media:

Wednesday Top 10: Main channels (inc. +1 where applicable):

9 ITV - 05:00 PM The Chase 3.925m 27%

Wednesday Top 10: Other channels (inc. +1 where applicable):

2 E4 - 07:00 PM Hollyoaks 728k 3.7%
Wow! That's a fantastic rating for The Chase yesterday. Almost at 4m. What happened in yesterday's episode?

Also nice to see Hollyoaks has built everyday since Monday with it having a big storyline playing out this week. All episodes will be over 1m in the consolidated numbers.
