We never heard the last of it when it was the other way round.

I do think BBC1 has lost the plot a little with Saturday nights, Doctor Who 10.2 million - He's Having A Baby 1.6 million.

Surely they must of know this crap wouldn't interest the masses on a Saturday evening, especially in the Autumn season.

It's often I do this but Mon Congrats to ITV for pulling it off last Saturday, I think they are back in charge for the next six or so weeks.

Why do you insist on taking it so personally?

BBC's Saturday night is lousy at the moment, so if I watch anything I watch ITV.

On balance my view is that there are more misses than hits on ITV; but I'm certainly not going to get upset about it if you tell me you think otherwise.

Try to calm down, dear.
