The Masked Singer UK - Series 5 (2 Viewers)

[Ellie]

Yes I think the 1% Club has legs and should be moved a bit earlier. It is quite the success for ITV.

Saturday Night Takeaway is back next week so I would think that will get even more than The Masked Singer but the live audience figure will be telling for that as I don’t think it is all that successful on catch up.

Ugh. If I’m in on a Saturday I’d much rather watch The 1% Club or Beat The Chasers over Saturday Night Takeaway, or god forbid Britain’s Got Talent.

While The Masked Singer is good for families, it’s literally only pensioners I know of who still watch those other two weekend ITV staples.

I would disagree on that one Ellie. I would say Saturday Night Takeaway and BGT are much more popular family viewing and would have thought 1% Club and Beat The Chasers are the ones aimed at a more senior audience.

It’s not quite dying as I assumed. 4 million on the overnights, although lower than previous seasons is seen as a success on a Saturday night now?

I'm not sure how much of a success, but certainly not a flop.

Maybe it’s a Northern thing

Nothing northern about me my love. ROI and PROUD!

 

[disneyteletubby]

I think I count as Northern, but more Midlands

On ITV for those Saturday night shows, I doubt any in particular are aimed at 'seniors'. BGT and Saturday Night Takeaway (I prefer the latter, and how it's live) are family shows. Beat The Chasers and 1% Club more 16+ perhaps? Sometimes I watch these; the questions are better on 1% but seeing the 'action' is more interesting for the Chasers.
Regarding Dommett, I found him annoying at first, but don't mind him now. After seeing another show he 'presented' last year, it proved that he is a much better fit for presenting The Masked Singer.

I have no idea who Maya Jama is

But I'm glad Rita now has more time to terrorise CGI skyscrapers

 

[Nancy]

Rita should have been sacked after the restaurant smuggling incident.

Jesus, how did she fit an entire restaurant into her hand luggage?

Enter GIANT EVIL RITA REPULSORA

 

[C’est la VoR]

My parents are confused as to why I just cracked up laughing at Jonathan Ross guessing ’Rachel Stevens’ to somebody who delivered an entirely competent vocal on Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

I thought that was a very fun special. French and Saunders were a marked improvement to the panel, Star was very excitable and a brilliant reveal, and the winner was amusingly unbothered about being there.

Delaying the reveal of Masked Joel until January was not very festive however.

Totally agree and there was a distinct lack of stupid guesses too (apart from Mary Berry which stopped being funny after the second time).

 

[Rita]

Was this a Christmas special or part of the new season? If it was the former then please enlighten me.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Christmas special. New series starts on 4th January
