Saturday 26th April Overnights
18.20- Doctor Who: 6.4m (35.2%) *peak: 6.9m (36.4%) at 18.45 20.05- Britain’s Got Talent: 9.4m (41.3%) *peak: 9.8m (42.0%) at 20.45 21.05- Pushing Daisies: 3.8m (17.7%) ------------------------------------------------ Britain's Got Talent tops the day with a great figure once again. All Stars Mr and Mrs dropped a lot of viewers and rated less than I'd Do Anything! Pushing Daisies once again dropped another million, which is not good. BGT is holding up very well. 9.4m is excellent for a fairly warm Saturday night. The series is currently averaging 9.5million viewers. I'm not surprised PD is losing more viewers. I've watched the first 3 eps, and its just an OK programme. Nothing special about it all, compared to other US shows. 24, Prison Break and Lost spring to mind, which are far superior! |

BGT is in a very strong position despite the decline, at the same stage last year it was on like 6m.
DW is wasted in that slot you're right, It clearly has the potential to get up to and over 13m. The fault lies with the schedulers. Unless of course the power of Eastenders gave it, its Christmas audience. |

No wonder Piers Morgan has been boasting about BGT's ratings recently: Quote:
Piers Morgan, a Britain's Got Talent judge, admitted that he and Sugar have been feuding via text message over the popularity of their respective shows for weeks.
"Britain's Got Talent has been hitting about 11.5 million while The Apprentice has about 8.5 million viewers," Morgan told the Daily Star Sunday. "I loved it the other day when Sir Alan sent me a text comparing himself to a maggot because he says his show is going to slowly catch up and overtake us in the ratings war. "I decided to look the definition of maggot up in the dictionary and I have to say I agree with his description of himself. A maggot is described as like 'a larva often found in decaying, dying matter'. In American dictionaries they call a maggot a 'revolting human being'. I would probably agree with that also." |

Doctor Who should probably be getting the 7pm slot. It would have no problems against Mr and Mrs and should increase its audience. There is a risk that the rise for DW could be wiped out by a larger fall in I'd Do Anything.

Why this rivalry between The Apprentice and BGT? Slightly random.
Piers Morgan is a pratt though so I'll be favouring The Apprentice.

Britain's Got Talent is doing very well and Mr & Mrs is a great filler show.
The great thing is, ITV is building up a successful 'All Star' series without using the annoying and outdated 'Celebrity' name. Family Fortunes and Mr & Mrs are two successful shows. |

The BBC are crazy for giving Doctor Who such a terrible slot. Excluding EE, DW is one of there biggest hitters. It was a superb episode last night and deserves more than a poultry 6.4m.

I agree, I thought it was easily the best episode of the season so far but I didn't watch it 'live' as once again it was on too early.

As I keep saying, the predictable slide in Dr Who's ratings is not so much down to the 6.20 slot but the fact it's the end of April, it's getting lighter and warmer and people aren't sat in watching the telly on a Saturday night. It would get more at 7pm, but probably no more than another 500k.
Next week could be worse as it's a Bank Holiday weekend. |

I don't buy into the "its on too early" argument. It launched at 6.20pm with consolidated viewing figures of 9.1m.

With revivals of old shows I'm surprise they haven't brought back Blind Date though I think ITV1 are doing a dating show with Cat Deeley. |

Love Soup is rock solid. I'm certain it does 3.7 million every week!

I heard that "So You Think You Can Dance" was a hit in Australia. Has any network in the UK bought the rights to show a British version? It could do well.

No, but I agree that it could be a hit especially if Cat Deeley and Nasty Nigel came over from the US version.

I think that could be quite difficult, because I think if there was a version in the Uk it would be in the summer. But those 2 have the US version in the summer, so they would clash. Still, it could be a hit without them. Incidentally, Nigel's wife judges on the Oz version.

Does anyone have any figures for the criminally underrated Boston Legal? (LIVING, Thu 10)
