Really looking forward to this and pleased they managed to finish production last year after the disruption. Also, Kelly Macdonald is a great casting for the target this series!

Big launch for new Channel 5 drama The Drowning last night. Not far off the #1 spot for the 9pm hour! The Drowning: 2.8m Long Lost Family: 3.4m Panorama: 1.5m

I'm so hyped for this after the brilliance of WAP

A Billboard top 5 smash is what this masterpiece deserves :cheeseblock:

The reaction was always going to be different because: - He's white - He's a man - He's a war veteran - He raised a substantial amount of money for the NHS All of that added together pretty much makes him untouchable in the eyes of the media.

By far the biggest jump in vaccinations yet in today's daily figures (just under 600k) - now nearly 9m having received their first dose in the UK. @1355909455603490816

I guess it also depends what you define as 'mid-Feb'. It's not exactly a definitive date so they could spin it to say they've met their target regardless of which actual day they reach 15m.

Still one episode to come - I thought maybe a Comic Relief celebrity special since the Christmas special was included in the 10 episode order? I guess we'll see in March!

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Simon gets X factor style trigger happy and shakes up something in the format and/or judges (which have remained the same for 10 years now).

It's now been confirmed by ITV that BGT won't be filmed or aired until 2022. Seems the right decision to me!

Excellent for Death In Paradise! It's on Thursday & Friday next week and then just Friday the following week so will be interesting to see if that has an impact on its ratings. You'd expect it to be much lower on a Friday. The Pembrokeshire Murders did very well (as expected) but the accompanying documentary has to be the stand out rating. Three nights of a true crime drama followed by a documentary about the 'real story' seems to be a winning combo for ITV over the past year or so.

Apparently Imanbek said on an IG live that this is coming on 12 February. I'm surprised Flame hasn't been announced for tomorrow when Twist is released on Sky Cinema then.

Some Wednesday ratings - as expected Best Home Cook increased with The Repair Shop lead in, which itself continues to be quite a force out-rating Coronation Street! The Repair Shop: 5.4m Coronation Street: 5.3m (not clear which episode) The Bay: 3.9m Celebrity Best Home Cook: 3.0m Grand Designs: 2.1m

This and the Bernie memes have been the best thing about 2021 so far.

I probably missed something but how do we know it's We're Good and not If It Ain't Me? I'm guessing her team are waiting for Levitating to start falling in the US before this gets released.

If online commentary is to be believed, AstraZeneca seems to have overcommitted and screwed themselves at bit. The reason why the UK is receiving so much ahead of everywhere else is that AstraZeneca appears to have agreed that the UK manufacturing sites would supply the UK up to a certain number (we don't know what) first before those supplies can be diverted to third countries. If, as the EU is supposedly demanding, supplies are diverted from the UK to the EU, then I would have thought they would be in breach of contract with the UK.

The fact the government keeps telling us not to worry about the supply chain makes me think we need to worry about the supply chain.

It feels weird to see an artist like The Weeknd releasing a greatest hits album in the streaming era. I guess it makes sense as a Super Bowl cash in for him.

Not a great return for Marcella or Best Home Cook last night. Celebrity Best Home Cook: 2.7m Marcella (ep 1): 2.8m Marcella (ep 2): 1.9m A bizarre decision to start with a double bill into the 10pm slot as shown by the big drop off in rating between episode 1 and 2. Best Home Cook could potentially increase tonight with The Repair Shop leading into it.

Idk why but I stan her and Jonathan as a duo. Their interactions tend to be the highlight of the panel commentary in each episode. The most unlikely iconic TV duo *.* The panel feels a lot more natural this time round as a whole with Mo instead of Ken. Ken was just a very bizarre choice for the UK version of the show :')

Ariana shook

After another not so vintage year, I guess I will take the irrelevant accolade of highest non-top 10 entry in the EOY chart for Grace Carter x

The Masked Singer is really going from strength to strength with a new series high! In fact last year's final was 6.4m so depending on the exact figure, last night is potentially its highest rated episode so far in the UK! @1353310411584647169

Or to run alongside the entire series of Strictly which must be around that length (with a hope of Big Show in early 2022)? The BBC must be very pleased with the performance of the show to have made such a big recommission!

Would not have guessed Bush Baby at all! Crying at Blob getting through again 😂
