Not much different other than Davina can’t go “well done to people in Scotland who did best on that question”. They’ve updated the clock graphic but the refresh rate is hugely irritating. They’ve beefed up the swish of the dropping trays. As pointed out on Twitter, there were no “which of these things happened first” questions.
Yep.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who was riled by the new clock. It annoyed me far more than it should have done.
The questions continue to revolve around immediate current affairs/social media as the live show did, but by the time of transmission, it’s old and forgotten about…
I like MPD and was rather looking forward to it, but with it not being live, and being on so much earlier than it used to be, it just felt really flat to me. I wonder why they made this decision? Being LIVE with real money where ‘anything can happen’ was MPD’s thing, wasn’t it?
“The questions continue to revolve around immediate current affairs/social media as the live show did, but by the time of transmission, it’s old and forgotten about…”
Yes, I knew I forgot to mention something, ta.
As for why it isn’t live, fully expect that to be a budgeting constraint for a show that rarely pulls a million these days to get the commission – three days in the studio, done.
1.09m (5.8%) for this last night.
That’s probabky the best it’s done for a while as it turns out.
But being on 2.5 hours earlier than usual, it should do a bit better than that, no?
Well certainly, but it’s had worse raw figures than that at 8pm.
I think that must have been peak, as according to this:
http://m.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a583847/celebrity-masterchef-tops-ratings-for-second-night-running.html#~oJOiKCm762K2CT
…it was 830k average – beaten by all other four main channels, including C5’s On The Yorkshire Buses – which makes me think this really will be the last run.
I’ve seen 1.1m quoted elsewhere – maybe the DS figure excludes +1 and HD?
The ratings I get include +1 and HD and unfortunately don’t give me how that’s broken down. I’ve got an average of 1,087,000 with this fifteen minute breakdown:
989,000
1,112,000
1,134,000
1,113,000
Incidentally my ratings have MasterChef the same as the DS article, but all other channels between 50k and 250k higher, which suggests it’s the +1 which is accounting for the difference.
And MPD was 2nd in the slot in 16-34 year olds, which demonstrates one reason they keep bringing it back despite not doing the business it used to.
Yep fair enough really.
How many viewers did Tipping Point Lucky Stars get yesterday? Jonathan ross is a clever man.
2.86m (17.1%) including HD and +1.
season 4 of Avanti Un Altro! is officially confirmed (with Paolo Bonolis)
and here’s the final episode of Il Braccio e la Mente (aka “Treadmill for Euros”), which AUA! thankfully replaced

I don’t think the ideas behind it are that bad, but it certainly has some of pacing and direction issues. Nice set.
My German’s not great but it seems like Schlag den Star returns this Saturday
