BBC1: 3pm HM The Queen - 6m [5.7m] 3.10 Green Green Grass - 4.8m [3.8m] 3.55 Monsters Inc - 6.0m [5.1m] 5.20 My Family - 6.3m [5.1m] 6.10 News 6.6m [6.7m] 6.20 SCD 6.8m [6.8m] 6.30 EastEnders1 - 8.8m [9.2m] 7.00 Dr Who - 7.7m [8.7m] 8.00 SCD 5.7m [7.3m] 9.00 EastEnders2 - 10m [10.7m] 9.30 Vicar of Dibley - 10.2m [11.4m] 10.30 Little Britain Abroad - 8.5m [8.4m] ITV1: 3pm The Queen - 2.5m [1.9m] 3.10 Harry Potter2 - 5m [4.8m] [although I did get the transmission time wrong!] 5.55 Creature Comforts - 4m [n/a - they changed it] 6.20 News - 3m [4.5m (at 6.45)] 6.30 Coro St clip show [?] - 4.5m [n/a - not shown] 7.00 Emmerdale - 7.7m [7.2m] 8.00 Coro St - 9.7m [9.6m] 9.00 Doc Martin - 6.4m [5.3m] Not a bad effort, if I may say so myself! |

Unless the BBC knows how to arrest its decline, I'll eat my hat if it has got >10m viewers on more than a handful of occasions between now and Christmas Eve 2007. In fact, BBC1 might now conceivably only ever pull 10m viewers for football or the SCD Final. And that's amazing really. |

Would BBC1 have got a higher audience for EE's if they killed off Pauline on a normal weeknight as part of a 1 hour special eg from 7.30 - 8.30 on a Tuesday night?
I think the would have 1m -2m more if they didit that way. |

I think the would have 1m -2m more if they didit that way. Maybe they might now realise that viewers want to be cheered up watching the telly (particiularly on Xmas Day) I would rather stick needles in my eyes than be totally depressed by that guff at any time of the year. God knows theres enough s*** going on in the world without being depressed by death on a bloody soap. |

Christmas Day Ratings - I think this is the last year that there is a big mainstream comedy on BBC1 at christmas
Which is Very sad!, I think from Next year the BBC could put SCD at 9.00 - 9.30 and put that as its " Big Show " .. If it could pull that ammount against Corrie, Imagine what it could do without it! Little Britain, Doctor Who, My Family, Monsters Inc doing nothing special but not bad either, the 6.30 episode of Eastenders done a lil better than i expected!

BBC fires broadside with Pirates John Plunkett Wednesday December 27, 2006 MediaGuardian.co.uk Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Caribbean put ITV1's Keeley Hawes to the sword in the Boxing Day ratings battle. Pirates of the Caribbean on BBC1 became only the third programme over the Christmas period to top 10 million viewers, with an average audience of 10.1 million, according to unofficial overnights. With four in 10 viewers from 7.30pm last night, the Hollywood movie attracted more than twice the 4.9 million who watched After Thomas on ITV1, starring Hawes and Ben Miles, about a couple and their autistic child. Pirates of the Caribbean also saw off the return of Anneka Rice and Challenge Anneka to ITV1. In the first of a new series, Rice's efforts to rebuild a village devastated in the tsunami pulled in 3.3 million viewers. Challenge Anneka also lost out to Channel 4's prime time edition of Deal Or No Deal. The Noel Edmonds quiz drew 3.4 million viewers, a 14% share of the audience at 8pm. The final edition of Channel 4's Faking It bowed out with 1.3 million viewers at 9pm. The life swap show, in which a Welsh cleaner attempted to transform herself into a burlesque dancer, came fifth out of the five terrestrial channels. Faking It lost out to BBC2's Phantom of the Opera: Behind the Mask, with 1.6 million, and Channel Five's CSI: Miami, which attracted 2 million viewers. Channel 4's Charlotte Church Christmas Special was no match for BBC2's Grumpy Old Women at Christmas. The Welsh singer's chatshow drew 800,000 viewers, a fraction of the 2 million who watched Jenny Eclair and Arabella Weir moan about cooking the Christmas turkey. Earlier, ITV's Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, with 4.5 million, lost out to the latest instalment of BBC1's EastEnders, with 8.6 million. Earlier, ITV's Emmerdale, with 6.8 million, beat BBC1's Mastermind Celebrity Special, with 4.2 million. Ricky Gervais meets Garry Shandling, the latest in the occasional series in which the Office creator meets his comedy heroes, attracted 400,000 viewers at 11.15pm, a 4% share of the audience. |

Wow! - 10.1 million for Pirates of the Caribbean is huuuge.
I was expecting about 8 million, which would of been fantastic anyway. Totally sunk ITV - would of thought Challenge Anneka would get between 5 and 6 million, so that's really disappointing for them.

Definitely. I watched Challenge Anneka and it was absolutely fantastic so shame that it didn't do better than it did. I'm surprised that so many watched POTC. Very rare that a film does that well these days.

So J&J did get a ratings boost from following the pirates, but probably not enough to save it.
Challenge Anneka got beat not only by a children's film (Freaky Friday) but also by an umpteenth showing, mid-afternoon, of Bedknobs and Broomsticks! It deserved better than that. Lenny Henry's clips show did even worse than I expected - shame, as I thought it was fairly amusing, if a bit lightweight. |

Would be interesting to see how After Thomas performed over the 2 hours. If Challenge Anneka only got 3.3m against the Pirates, it may have started low but picked up a lot of viewers at 9.45pm as the film finished. Thomas didn't really get going until the second hour, so I suspect it may have pulled significantly more than 5m from 9.45-11?

DOND beat Challenge Anneka!
But what people may not realise is that Challenge Anneka was never a ratings collossus. I think ITV will have a better night tonight, If Ruby In The Smoke started at 9 it'd do better for BBC1; I'm expecting 7 million for it. Also the soaps ratings will be down tonight because of slightly stronger competition and unusual start times. |
