On Channel 4+1 the first Big Brother show managed 145,000 (0.9%) and the second 156,000. So that means last nights eviction was the most watched of the series (overnights) with a total of 4m in the 9pm slot and 3.3m at 10.35pm with Channel 4+1 included.
Was QI new or a repeat? If it was new, it seems an odd show for BBC1 to take.
A repeat of Poirot beat Big Brother again. I can't understand why as that episode of Poirot has been shown at least 3 times.

QI was a repeat.
The Poirot repeats seem to have really taken off now after being around 3.2-3.5m for the first couple of episodes. It's the best rated 9pm show for ITV1 this week so far!

Fair enough, then.

Which, really, is shocking. There isn't a Poirot repeat next week. Instead it's the Super Cup final followed by Naughtiest Blunders.

A nice surprise to get some ratings at the weekend.
I'd just like to share with you my GCSE results this year, because this thread is my most active and I suppose it marks a new era in my life:

And of course, back to the ratings.

Well done PJ- superb grades!
That's really good. It's a shame there are no exams in TV ratings or TV scheduling, though: I'd be tempted to sit those exams.

I want to say 6.2m and both for the second question, but I don't think the computer scanner will pick that up?

Haha...same, or that could be my specialist topic on Mastermind...ratings of 2008. I actually think I'd do pretty well

Well done PJ!
I got straight A's...don't know how though
Here are some things that Peter Fincham (ITV director of television) has said today and my opinions (long post!):
Interesting- I can see ITV stripping Collision across a week. It sounds like a good drama, so it should hopefully do well.
I disagree. Apart from Dancing on Ice on Sundays, I can’t think of any entertainment show that’s done really well on Sundays. Beat the Star did quite well. And ITV haven’t actually brought in that mnay entertainment shows into Sundays- they’re now just showing Midosmmer Murders and Heartbeat. As for moving Corrie to 8.30pm on Fridays, it’s not benefited the soap that’s for sure. Having two double headers a week, has lost a good balance it had before imo.
I agree. NaT might be rating quite poorly in the slot, but it is better for ITV’s News branding. Ideally I’d prefer NaT on at 10pm everyday, but it’s ok as it is. It won’t ever beat BBC News or come close, but I think it’s better for the Channel’s image to have it.
Yep- I really enjoyed Benidorm, and clearly many others did. One of ITV’s biggest hits of the year without a doubt. And I agree that comedy is the toughest genre- I can’t think of many new comedies in recent times to have become hits on either BBC1 or ITV1.
Thank god! If anything they need to cutback on soaps.
Hmmm… Well, it just shows how poorly ITV1 has done recently in the 9pm slot, for Fincham to say that he wants upto 5m, which is low in my opinion. Obviously it would be an improvement, but I really think there’s an audience out there and if they get the programming right, they can get far more than 5m. In recent months, you just need to look at New Tricks, Bonekickers (even though it was apparently bad), Criminal Justice.
I can understand his reserved judgements on having 13 episodes, because if it flops then it’s going to be a pain (like Echo Beach). But obviously it can go the other way as well. Furthermore, with 13 episode series, it would help global sales. It’s going to be really interesting to see how Law and Order London rates. If it does well, we could see ITV1 comissioning more 13-episode series aimed at the global market.
Based on the ratings, get rid of it!
I agree. But for some reason ITV1 aren’t commissioning these type of shows. They only have Primeval, which has been a moderate hit. But when you look at BBC1, they’ve got a few with Merlin coming up as well.
Quote:
“ "About a month ago, BBC One ran a series called Criminal Justice, stripped - we had a bit of a discussion at ITV - would we have done it? My view was yes, it was excellent drama."
"There's room for event drama," he says, citing the commission of Collision.”

That's the only one I don't give a crap about.
A brilliant post rzt. About Sunday entertainment shows, I think more are coming in Britannia High and possibly Family Fortunes or TV Burp. However, BBC1 may move SCD's results to 7.15pm to take advantage of no soaps, which would mess up ITV's plans somewhat.

Well regarding Fincham's comments, I like what he's saying hopefully he can deliver. The interesting thing about Criminal Justice was that new BBC1 Controller Jay Hunt decided to strip it across the week.
Speaking of which here is an interview she did with Broadcast.

Is this a fantasy schedule? (sorry if that sounds a stupid question.

7.00 TV Burp
7.30 The X Factor
9.00 For One Night Only
10.00 The X Factor Results
With Millionaire on Tuesdays. Apart from that, though, it's very good, especcially Sunday.

Great to have ratings on Saturdays again
Well done DS! They are doing better reports than MG or Broadcast now, but unfortunately the dont like giving out the news ratings
I see that ITV1 have the football next Friday, but bizarrely the week after its Midsomer Murders at 9pm. Couldn't they just stick to Poirot & repeat Midsomer on Sunday nights. Are they trying to confuse everybody on purpose?
So the new look to ITV1 Friday nights wont start for another couple of weeks at least.

Cant see that working, especially with Sky's Saturday football scores show and BBCs Final Score on board.
BTW ITV1 are showing their 1st England match vs Kazakhstan on Sat 11 Oct with a 5.15pm KO. So that would mean build up from maybe 4.30 and put the X Factor start back to 7.30.

What will Fridays look like after 9pm on ITV? And I much prefer Digital Spy's ratings reports, they're more accurate and are published much earlier than MG or Broadcast. I would like the news ratings included though.
Totally off topic, but I was watching Bingo Night Live last night (its weirdly addictive even though I've never played bingo before in my life). They said they had 49,000 players last night. I'm not sure how it works but you must fill something in on the itv website and they then have a database of everybody who is playing. I love the fly arounds of the country.
So if 49,000 are playing, there were another 200k-300k people like me just watching out of curiousity.

I think that's the date of the first live show. In which case, the results won't air until 10.15/10.30, which could be problematic, but a 2 hour live show running from 7.30 to 9.30, after an England World Cup Qualifyer will be ratings heaven for ITV.
