#PROPERsaturdaynightentertainment
Actually quite an interesting evening this evening, so here’s a run down of Things Likely To Be Of Interest To Bar Punters:
- 6:00 (ITV) – The Cube Celebrity Special – featuring David Haye and Kian Egan. The new series begins proper next week, this is going to be of interest because it’s likely we’ll see the swish new graphics and retwiddled sounds tonight which is awesomely exciting – the graphics for Reflex are pretty cool even if the show is dull as, and Foster/Bolam remain the best in the business right now. I imagine we’ll get some new games as well – and if you’ve got the The Cube app it was updated in the last few days with a new game.
- 6:15 (C4) – Superstar Dogs – as expected not really doing the business but not without merit.
- 6:15 (BBC1) – Pointless Celebrities – A repeat, but doubtless will be strong competition for The Cube. On previous form will probably beat it in fact, although The Cube still does decent demos.
- 7:00 (ITV) – Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway – The boys return, although it seems a bit less hyped than last year. I bet they still won’t be offering the prizes shown during its own ad break, but at least I’m a Celebrity Get Out Of My Ear is coming back as that was genuinely hilarious, tonight with Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford. Hopefully they’ve ditched the duff Supercomputer.
- 7:00 (BBC1) – The Voice UK – This has been doing well – 8.5m recently, although the buzz feels like it’s died down somewhat since opening week. I think with momentum and stronger lead-in The Voice will edge Ant and Dec in the overnights which would be a reversal of last year.
- 8:20 (ITV) – Take Me Out – last in the series.
- 8:30 (BBC1) – Who Dares Wins – Gaby Roslin’s doing the lottery draw. Hurrah!
Lots of interest tonight, intrigued to see how it all plays out.
A massive digest of shows looking for contestants will go up tomorrow morning.
Doesn’t look like new Cube setup until next week 🙁
Indeed…also I really wish they would sort out the music for the cash stack increase! It should be DU DU DU DU DA DA DA DA DE DE DE DE DAAAAA for the £100k game!
Also look out for the guy with the glasses behind the friends and family next week during Sophie’s game. It’s…me! 🙂
Sorry to say Brig, but the Supercomputer is back, albeit with a slightly different look. I was disappointed too; but at least that was the only low point in an otherwise awesome show.
From @TVRatingsUK
With 7.25m/31.2% #TheVoiceUK got the better of Ant and Dec’s #SaturdayNightTakeaway (6.48m/27.8%) at 7pm last night.
I said that would happen.
You were right about the Cube celeb special too, just 2.66m incl+1. Pointless repeat had 4.3m. New week The Cube goes after Takeaway so should get a decent artificial boost.
”8:30 (BBC1) – Who Dares Wins – Gaby Roslin’s doing the lottery draw. Hurrah!”
Next week her TV comeback is complete! She is presenting Sport relief’s Top Dog on BBC 2 for 3 weeks.
AMAZING.
Here’s news of some other Proper Saturday Night TV from the Facebook page – and then badly translated.
Information on the 2014 season # FortBoyard in France begin to arrive gradually. Today, advertising governed France Televisions issued the referral offer next season. We know that there will be 10 shows and a special program in the second part of the evening to celebrate 25 seasons of play Olivier Minne course remains at the helm. This is a return to “normal” because since 2010, France 2 broadcast no longer ten summer programs, but between 7 and 9 since 2011. This is good news! All information in our article.
I read that as ten eps and a documentary/special. Not too shabby.
Yep, that’s how I read it as well, they usually do the retrospective before or after the first episode proper.
For the 20th celebrations in 2009 they had a weekday series looking back on it, which was rather overkill and I think might have contributed to the low numbers that year.
