I'm not surprised that Tycoon isn't performing well.
It's dire and the moral is that ITV needs to stop copying shows. |

Some interesting comments from Michael Grade about the 5pm weekday slot:
ITV1 has been looking for a replacement programme for the afternoon slot at 5 o’clock since Paul O’Grady left almost 18 months ago. This shoulder peak slot is a prime piece of television that our productions division should have been focusing on to fill. I’m pleased to tell you that we are now at last piloting new shows for 5 pm. For example in the coming weeks we are piloting a 5pm entertainment show with Anthony Cotton from Coronation St. We also have two or three quizzes and some narrative ideas in advanced development for this slot. Better late than never. |

Isn't the Apprentice a copy of something though? There's very little originality anywhere any more.

I'm intrested to see how the repeat run of Brothers and Sisters did for Channel 4. Would have thought that the movie on ITV1 would do better than it did - don't movies at that time usually get quite high ratings?

10:00- Brothers and Sisters: 700,000 (4%) I'm slightly disappointed that the ratings are so low for this. I thought it would be a hit for Channel 4. Hopefully it's ratings will grow as the series goes on. |

Its a licenced format. But is anything on TV original? Most things are re-workings of old ideas.
Pop Idol?

Interesting that Parkinson suddenly added a million viewers from last week despite it being an incredibly poor showing from ITV all night.

Usually it's about 10.25pm & it dosen't perform as well.
It's like ITV just shove it to the bottom of the pile and don't care. Maybe this is an insentive for them to put it on earlier next series? Or even change the day to Friday? |

It's a shame about Jekyll - that dropped over 1 million viewers on last week. Hopefully it will rebound next week. I still think it's in a bizarrely-chosen slot though. Sunday or at some point in the week, any day, would be better.

Parkinson wants it shown on Saturday nights with a start time after 10pm. Why do you think he left the BBC? For those with short memories it was because they wanted to move it to make way for MOTD.

As for B&S, unfortunately for Channel 4 these US imports rarely recover from a poor launch, and whenever the channel tries to revive it, it just won't work:
Will & Grace (boosted with Big Brother) My Name Is Earl (boosted with Celebrity/Big Brother) Scrubs (boosted with Big Brother) And this is just a few of many! They can't get over 2 million without the presence of Big Brother, and now that its ratings are at a verge towards 3 million, C4's share wil go down big time. |
