All I've seen is on twitter, and what I've seen has been fairly positive in terms of saying it was a fairly nice entertaining bunch.That really is brilliant and shows that there is plenty life in the old dog yet. I see the usual rags are going for the jugular and saying it is a flop though.
I've not been following the overnights, and I suspect that's what they have been looking at, because BARB hasn't released anything more. And then I'd also guess they may well be comparing those with the 7 day figure last year, to make the story fit their narrative. But we'll see.
Yes, it's only 125k down on last year, about 1.4%, so very similar to the decrease for the launch episode, and again I suspect ITV will be very pleased with it.
Because it will make more money for them in advertising revenue for them on Boxing Day.I didn’t know where else to put it but I see French and Saunders are both guest judging on The Masked Singer Christmas special on BOXING DAY. Why are ITV not showing this on Christmas Day?
That’s annoying as I’m not interested in either Gavin & Stacey nor Call The Midwife. I’d happily watch ITV instead at that time. Will probably stick on a film somewhere instead.
They are all 5pm episodes.
And it's almost exactly the same audience as the final last year - only 4k down. The reality shows at the end of this year have held up really well.
For comparison, compared to the same week last year:
Simon Cowell didn’t own the Pop Idol format so couldn’t make as much money. After Season 2, he left and said that he would be running X-Factor, which he did own, instead. ITV cancelled Pop Idol because they didn’t need two virtually identical shows.
