Challenge ratings for every episode!
-
That's great!
I cant believe challenge are having to think about whether or not to buy another (or all series!
How can results like that be inconclusive?!
And I'm assuming white devil wants to know the cost of buying the rights to broadcast a series of Knightmare because he's.....
a) the director of the BBC
b) the director of ITV who now realises what an IDIOT he was letting Km go off-air in the first place
or
c) A crazy billionnare with more sense than money who wants to buy all the rights and create his own sky freeview 'Knightmare channel'
Ever the optomist ;D
-
I solemly promise that when I'm a rockstar I will buy the rights to Knightmare and either produce a DVD (if it hasn't been done of course) or create my own freeview channel.
This is of course after I've built my very own Haunted House
-
And I promise to create my own tv channel that will commission Km 9. (If I'm not too busy haunting someone's house, that is )
#There's a rock show at the Concertgabow,
#We've got long hair at the Madison Square,
#We got rock'n'roll at the Hollywood Bowl,
#We'll be there, oh yeah!

The next week's ratings are out (14th-20th July). I've averaged up the ratings for the evening schedule for Monday 14th to Friday 18th. Figures are, as always, in thousands. (The figure for The Crystal Maze is only based on 4 of these days, since on Friday the schedule is slightly different.)
4pm - Bruce Forsyth's Play Your Cards Right Play Along - 38.102
4.30pm - Family Fortunes Play Along - 43.586
5pm - Fort Boyard - 65.93
6pm - Knightmare - 54.324
6.30pm - Takeshi's Castle - 62.46
7pm - The Crystal Maze - 18.18
8pm - Celebrity TV Bloopers - 28.002
9pm - The Mole - 30.71
10pm - Takeshi's Castle - 32.848
Not such a good week for Knightmare. I suppose by this point most people have seen Series 3 and 4 already, so the ratings may drop off. However, it remains comfortably ahead of all the other early-prime and late-prime time shows with the obvious exceptions of Fort Boyard and Takeshi's Castle. On the Monday it was the highest rating show in the evening schedule, and on the Saturday (which is not included in these figures) it beat everything else in the prime-time schedule, Fort Boyard and Takeshi's inclusive.
I'd love to hear what other people think about the ratings. If people aren't interested, I won't bother to look into them each week. Obviously I'd be glad if people would be courteous enough to keep this thread on topic.
-
This new information seems to suggest that despite not commanding audiences as big as the ones Takeshi's Castle and Fort Boyard enjoy, Km still performs very respectably indeed (and it still seems to me that Km is Challenge's third-biggest draw, after TC an FB). The fact that is does consistently well (which the other two aforementioned shows don't seem to, based on what you have said, GG) would seem to imply a dedicated audience, too. Mind you, I guess we already knew that!
-
Yes, that's just about it as I see it. In fact, for that week, it's not that the KM audience is down much, rather that the FB and TC audiences are up. I've just said my piece over on Challenge's website. (I hope I wasn't too rude about some of their programming!) Whether they actually bother reading it or not before the end of the century is another matter.

Where? may I ask so I could have a read
In this rather sourly named thread:
http://www.challengetv.co.uk/ubb/Forum5/HTML/000597.html
Mine is, predictably, the extremely long message.
-
Hmm, Takeshi's casatle down by 25,000 veiwers
Now that IS encouraging.
And keep up the good work GG, I find stuff like this fascinating, whether or not I post about it.
Go GG Go!

Although your message is extremely long on the challenge forum GG, it is very good and (fingers crossed) persuasive. It's also recieved good feedback and support from the decent, mature intelligent posters. (I believe one of 'boy ard's previous posts on a knightmare thread at the challenge forum consisted of expleteives and little else)
Hopefully Challenge? will see you're post as constructive criticism and you as a concerned viewer who wants them to get the best out of their programme 'portfolio'. But they do invariably get the wrong end of the stick.
That's if the lazy mods don't look at the length of the post and think 'hmm, i'll just hope there's no expleteives in there....'
*Waves flag proclaiming 'Go GG!'
-
Yeah, I hope it stays that way. It's the first intelligent post I've seen there in a looong time.
Actually I had 2 dreams last night, one where I convinced Challenge? to show the remaining series' and one where I managed to get Knightmare kicked off the air together...wierd dream, eh?
-
and one where I managed to get Knightmare kicked off the air together...wierd dream, eh?
I hope that it was a dream. The way things are going though it might become reality. But definately a wierd dream though. Anyway do you know how you managed to do that though!
-
Yeah, in that dream, a few months have passed and Knightmare is still getting good figures but moved to a poorer timeslot and they kept putting off buying more series' So I wrote to Challenge? and told them that if they're not going to handle a show like that properly they're better off not showing it at all and waste their time with 2 straight hours of TC or something....and then they decided to do that..
For the good dream. I for some reason became smarter thna normal and pieced together all ratings and things that we've recieved here and with the help of the good ol' people here, wrote a 6 page essay on how profitable it would be to buy more Knightmare. Since the profit margin was found to be rather huge, they basically had no other choice than to buy all the series' and everyone lived happily ever after...except Knightmare haters, but we don't like them, lol^_^
Hehe, holiday tommorow so this is gonna be my last post for a while hopes for Challenge? to confirm more series' by the time she gets back

Yes, I'm interested in the ratings and hope to do an article or something on it for the next update.
Good to see the Knightmare figures building up every week, presumably as more people find it. Series 3 and 4 have had plenty of exposure in prime time now, so I think Challenge's plan to move it to 10am soon to try and reach a new audience is a good idea. There may be many viewers on holiday mornings (children) who may not have caught Knightmare on weekday evenings.
-
I think Challenge? would do better to buy sanother series. Not only would that capture more interest, it'd get back viewers like myself who have grown sick of seeing Series 3 and 4 over again!
And let's face it, Takeshi's Castle is too popular. Knightmare is never going to beat it in the ratings stakes at all, so let's not see this as a contest - let's just see Knightmare as something we need to bump up the ratings for.
Next series, please, people!
-
Just a note to say that we probably won't have access to the full ratings figures in future. When I checked earlier it rather looked like it's been marked as "subscribers only" now.
