I'm suprised the ratings were so poor last night though as I'd have thought Prime Suspect 1973 would be a good lead in.

Same here - you'd have thought a prequel to a well established drama would allow for the Nightly Show to get better ratings. Turns out it's far worse than I thought!

Will be eager to see how other hosts fare...

I cant believe people are suggesting they move the show as early as week 3 from the 10pm slot!


Saying it's in the wrong slot is very different to suggesting it should be moved.

ITV cant move it now it will lose face, but it can help its self by having better ideas and host etc. Even David williams mum didn't like this show,

I think the sad thing is, is that after this inital run, and if ratings don't pick up, News at Ten will return, and continue to under perform for years to come, and ITV won't bother with anything else after 10pm.

For whatever reason, Americans stay up later than we do.


The Late Late Show airs well after the average east coast bedtime.

Let's just take a moment to consider how much worse things could be...

I don't get the Davina appointment. It was supposed to be Ramsay in week 3.

If an experienced comedian and presenter struggles presenting the show, what chance has a chef got?

It was - 5.3m watch it, but only 1.7m were watching The Nightly Show at 10pm, dropping to 1m by the end of the show.
