Rock Rivals is woefully awful, one of the worst programmes i think to grace our screens - they may as well have stuck on repeats of X Factor, it is terrible, I can't beleive they axed Bad Girls to make way for this - and Bad Girls was goin down too but RR I found out on another thread only manages 2.2million viewers

I don't think BG was axed for RR, it was just axed.

Shame they don't close down Shed Productions, who are responsible for all this rubbish.

Should point out that Shed now make Who Do You Think You Are? since taking over Wall to Wall productions along with several other independents.

As Vodka said, Bad Girls wasn't axed specifically to make room for Rock Rivals, but it was axed to make room for 'new programming' - none of which has been very inspiring so far.
I agree, though, that RR is a few notches down from even the poorest era of BG. |

I miss Bad Girls.
And Shed Productions are great, I've found myself addicted to Waterloo Road now, to feed my Bad Girls withdrawal. I didn't get into RR as much as I thought I would, I must admit. |

It is weird why they would axe BG when it was pulling in 5 million viewers.

Shed made a series called Bombshell, which was never shown, surely it could be shown on some channel?

Im sure I read at the time they were axing it to make way for a brand new show called Rock Rivals because I remember waiting for it to come on last year and it didnt show - but yeah I agree i dont think they axed it specifically for this show but think it was partly the reason

Rock Rivals has to be the biggest pile of dross broadcast on British TV for some time.

It averaged about 4.4Million in the final series didnt it??
These were excellent viewers for a summer in which ALL ratings were low and Bad Girls was only slightly down on the previous series average (5.1 million). |

It averaged 4.7 million in the final series (official figures) and episodes which surpassed the 5 million mark were the first episode, the repecussions of Natalie's death and the last ever episode which knotched up 5.13 million viewers.

OK didn't realise commissioning RR was part of the BG cancellation.
I think axing BG was a mistake - how many other dramas apart from the soaps does ITV have where it gets a guaranteed 4 million viewers in the summer these days? |

![]() It came fourth in the terrestrial ratings at 9pm (only beating BBC2), and was also beaten by Sky Sports 2 while the football was on. I don't watch it so I can't comment on the quality of it... but I don't think we'll be seeing a second series, somehow. |
