Friday And Thereafter

Another brilliant episode of RI:SE, can't believe they've axed it. It was hilarious from start to finish and just shows they don't need "huge" guests. Just entertaining people to have a laugh with.

It may be would have stood more chance if it had come back with a new name at the start of the year as it's the only thing remaining from the original, that might have made more people watch it after being put off by the original format.

Anyway, according to that bookie who's on on a Friday it's got about a 9% chance of returning!

People speak about the Big Breakfast and RI:SE as if it was RI:SE that lost the ratings. It was actually the Big Breakfast who made channel 4's ratings plummet in the end and RI:SE just hasn't increased them again as it was hoped to yet.



That's not quite true. At the time the BB bowed out it was on 400,000 a day. When RI:SE started that figure soon dropped to 200,000, and even later dropped to 100,000. It is only recently that RI:SE has reached the ratings which the BB had towards its end.


Yeah, it didn't come across clear what I was getting at. The fact is that the ratings are RI:SING (excuse the pun) even if it is slow progress but it just seems that after a bad year and a half ,it's been really good recently, with ratings going up. The point I was trying to make was if Channel 4 don't want to spend the money making it if that's as high as the viewers are going to go, fair enough, but now it's found it's feet i just think they should give it another year to see if it continues to develop before binning it.

RI:SE is slated because of how it started (mk1 &2) but i think it is great now, something different and lighthearted compared to everything else. It should be given another year and some promotion to prove itself.

Surely RI:SE would be much better than just showing 2 hours worth of repeats which isn't going to work anyway as most people don't have time to sit down for half an hour solid to watch something in the morning. I really can't see this lineup increasing the amount of viewers.

OK RI:SE was really bad to start with and still isn't perfect yet, but it's getting better and better all the time. I think if it was given another year and they made a few changes it could do much better, and save having to come up with a fresh idea in a couple of years time when C4 try to do a live show again

Does anyone know when last nights two episodes will be shown on ITV2?


If you are talking about the daytime repeats:

Friday on ITV1 - Shown Monday on ITV2
Sunday on ITV1 - Shown Tuesday on ITV2
Monday Ep1 on ITV1 - Shown Wednesday on ITV2
Monday Ep2 on ITV1 - Shown Thursday on ITV2
Wednesday on ITV1 - Shown Friday on ITV2



Thanks. It would make sense if ITV2 repeated the episodes before the next is on ITV1. Unless you only ever watch it on ITV 2 it's a bit pointless because with most of them when they're on there's already been another on ITV1

BBC ONE ident removed

Ballet was used into Look North on BBC1 North East & Cumbria at 6:30, so is it going to start appearing a bit more regularly?

Big Brother: Cameron wins

Well, Friend's is on instead of BBLB.

There's been no cricket on all afternoon so it's not like a last minute thing. Mad

Big Brother: Cameron wins

Surely for these two day's, after bblb has been shown for nine weeks, cricket should have been shown on E4 and BBLB on channel 4.

It's the usual everything on the schedule has to revolve around Sport and it's just not acceptable.

I might be wrong but I imagine that BBLB will get higher ratings than the cricket, so I can't see how channel 4 can justify what they're doing.

Imagine if this was the other way around. Sport not being shown because something else is already scheduled.

This is bad enough, but to show a repeat of a Friends episode when the cricket's cancelled is just unbelievable.

When will non-sports fans ever be considered?

Coronation Street

Is it a deliberate joke that "Rewsie and Sewphie" go to so many sleep overs and party's? They must have loads of friends!

The way Sally goes on is irritating. All that for him not telling her about the Nelson's secret but it doesn't matter that she nearly went off with another man at the wedding!

Didn't Betty retire?

She had a retirement party, went away, came back, covered one shift and seems to have worked since. Have I missed something?
