  1. I'm still very much enjoying 'Broadchurch', it's an excellent drama but I can see why it isn't rating as highly as last time because of the lack of clear direction in where the series is going. At the end of the day though, 5+ million is still a brilliant figure for ITV, especially with their recent rating problems.

    Channel 4 are in the process of hyping up their ambitious new period 10-part drama. It is set in 1932 and tells the story of the decline of the British empire and the birth of modern India. It features Julie Walters, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Jemima West, Nikesh Patel and Roshan Seth.

     

    I love Julie Walters and the trailer looks good so I will certainty be checking it out!

  5. It was good to have a BREAK last night from all the arguing. Preparing for this twist tonight to save Perez though. It'll probably be Nadia who goes on Friday based on the current nominations but I think there is a small chance Perez won't muster up loads of votes. *becomes the winner*

     

    Just when I was starting to like Calum he snuggles up to Cami. That girl is all kinds of wrong. Really hope Nadia goes next but with this twist I doubt I will be that lucky. Shocking revelation that she reads the Guardian. I never would have guessed :lol:

    The Guardian >>>>>> all the other newspapers though

     

  6. I agree. 'Game of Thrones' is the main one for me, Season 4 is only released in February which is 8 months since it finished. For a show that's surrounded in shocking moments and therefore easy spoilers, it's surprising that they don't release the DVDs earlier as people want to view the episodes as quick as possible meaning that piracy is going to be a likely option.
  7. 'Call the Midwife' was down by 1.3 million from last years launch but it's still VERY impressive ratings.

     

    CBB also achieved its highest ever weekend ratings since its move to Channel 5 and over 3 million is probably one of its highest ratings for a daily show on a Channel 5. Good to see the show going from strength to strength!

     

    Also, ITV must be having a nightmare. What a poor rating for 'Get Your Act Together'.

  8. Apparently, this weeks story features some of the hardest scenes that Emilia Fox (who plays the lead charcter) has had to film. Given the subject matter seems to surround paedophilia, it's not suprising.
