Anyone got Saturdays?

17:45- Comic Relief Does Fame Academy- 4.5m (23.9%)
21:00- Comic Relief Does Fame Academy- 4.2m (18.6%)

not too good to be honest... but ratings will probably increase as the show goes one.

To be expected really.

I'm sure it'll improve - eventually. Up against the soaps will be tough though. 3m might be a little optimistic for Wednesday.

This 7.00 o'clock malarky is a bit rum............that's teatime........

I'm not really up for watching telly that early........

Why couldn't they put it on at 9.00 clock ?.........

Guess the early scheduling means they're hoping for a big kiddie vote. Hence the coverage on kids TV and choice of so many "comedy performers" rather than decent singers too.


It's a shame, I really like FA normally, but have a strong suspicion this one isn't for me ...

Slight off topic I know – but it does concern me that the programme is trying so hard to appeal to younger viewers. My two boys watched the CBBC programme yesterday and were both very keen to vote for Zoe. The charity is supposed to help vulnerable people not manipulate them into spending money. I don't think it is right to use "Pester Power" in this way!

I think the ratings will be low…lots of people (adults) I spoke to hadn’t realised it had started yet! Children are only allowed to stay up so late during the school week!

No figures as yet but last nights rare Wednesday night outing of Casualty only had 4.4m the lowest audience its had since July 2001! The Bill at the same time had 5.2m.

Broadcast says that BBC One slumped to a peaktime share (6pm - 10.30pm) of just 17.1%. ITV1 had 26.1%.

Black Wednesday returns to haunt BBC One.

that has nothing to do with it, it was all to do with....Football, last night had 2 of the big teams live game on. sorry but any bloke would put the live CL over the CFA, dont get me wrong i love CFA, JUST WISH THEY WOULD PUT fa3 on as it much better than antthing itv have done.

Yeah ... thats why Fame Academy got axed after 2 series because of poor ratings, and got hammered up against Pop Idol which is the exact same show! Oh, and X Factor now manages to get 8-9m up against SCD compared to about 3-5m of Fame Academy up against Pop Idol. Yeah, it really is better than anything ITV have done

Why are you rolling your eyes at another member for posting their opinion?

Because he/she said that normal FA is better than anything ITV do, yet the ratings say otherwise.

but it is just their opinion, they should be allowed to express it without people rolling their eyes at them. Just because the ratings suggest differently that doesn't mean that it is a stupid opinion to have

Thursday night...

Comic Relief Does Fame Academy 7-8pm - 4m
Emmerdale 7-8pm - 7.8m

EastEnders 8-8.30pm - 6.7m
The Bill 8-9pm - 4.9m
Comic Relief Does Fame Academy Results 8.30-9pm - 3.8m

Hotel Babylon - 9-10pm - 5.7m

The ratings aren't about which show is better.

Well on Saturday I will be watching Dancing on Ice rather than Fame Academy. I only watch it during the week as nothing much else is on at 7pm. I never bother to watch the later show as I am not THAT interested in who is voted off as I hardly know any of the celebs that are on the show this year. Who the heck is Fred? and Tim? and that blonde girl from Blue Peter who really cannot sing, poor thing. Tara is dreadful but I think the judges comments are very over the top and rather nasty. I would hate to be humiliated on national Telly for FREE!!! AFTER ALL it is all for charity so they could be a little nicer in their comments.

How's Celebrity Fame Academy doing in the ratings this week?

Friday 9th- 7:00- 4.6m, 10:35- 2.8m
Sat 10th- 7:40- 5.9m, 9:50- 5.4m
Sun 11th- 8:00- 4.1m , duno about second ep
Mon 12th- 7:00- 4.1m, 9:00- 4m

That's not bad for Saturday being up against Dancing On Ice.

Neither of the FA main shows clashed with DOI main shows.

Last night's results got 5.8m viewers.

It's doing well.

Good. How is it comparing to last year?

Saturday 26th 6.15: 5.69m 9.00: 6.79m
Wedensday 8.00: 5.08m
Thursday 8.00: 5.99m
Friday 9.00: 6.81m 10.35: 5.70m
Saturday 6.45: 5.85m 8.45: 8.18m
Sunday 6.35: 5.71m 9.00: 7.05m
Monday 9.00: 6.74m 10.35: 5.66m
Tuesday 8.00: 8.15m 10.35: 6.22m
Wedensday 8.00: 6.88m 10.40: 5.74m
Thursday 8.00: 8.10m 9.30: 7.19m


...last years according to Ronant.


It has definately struggled from Dancing on Ice/Primeval/Wild at Heart/Emmerdale and Coronation Street. It faced nothing like that last time.

WHY on earth has it been scheduled so badly?!
Putting it at 7 against emmerdale and corrie (some nights) is a disaster! I would love to watch both but i end up chosing the soaps!
I cant understand why they have done this this year?

They cant give every single show an 8 or 9pm slot. And if they did, it would disrupt a lot of programmes like Life on Mars. Yesterday it got its best ratings yet - 6.5m at 7pm, which is fantastic.
