One question
-
Also I was wandering how many people on average watch Challenge??
Well, according to the latest figures available on the BARB website (official TV audience research), viewers who have access to multi-channel TV watch Challenge on average 11 minutes per week, which gives it an overall 0.7% share of all viewing.
This may not seem very much but it puts Challenge in the top ten of all satellite/cable/digital channels (excluding terrestrial) based on share of viewing in May 2003.
As for actual audience figures for Challenge programmes, these probably range from a few thousand to around 200,000 viewers.

I can't understand why Challenge? isn't listed in a few of the tv guides I have seen including the Sky mag. It's alright for those people who get Sky digital, which has it's own tv guide, but how many people didn't catch Knightmare being shown on Challenge? before it was almost too late? Like me. Also how many people who get Sky digital with Challenge? still don't know that it's being shown?

sorry to sound like a pessimist here but i seriously doubt that the KM raitings (however good) are going to top takeshi's.
if u think about it, almost all of the ppl who watch KM at 6 will undoubtedly watch on when takeshi comes on at 6:30(its not that bad really). add on to that the Purly takeshi fans who(for whatever insane reason) choose to miss KM and tune in at 6:30 and we see why KM will never make the challenge top 10.
However, if they gave each program only 1 slot on the board with their viewer figures shown as an average of the whole weeks viewing we may see knightmare comming in a close second!
Wud certainly be better than the current format which tells us nothing except how wonderfully popular takeshi is(and this would also be shown under the proposed new format if it got the top slot)

I still don't understand the whole deal about Takeshis Castle, there's only so many times (I'd say 4, max) a Japanese person falling on their arse is funny.
I cant see them doing repeats of it in 10 years time either....
-
I tend to agree with you there. I started to get somewhat bored with parts of You've Been framed, which I do still watch if it's animals, children or babies they are showing. I tend to find Kirsty's Home videos funnier. They've got yet another Takeshis omnibus this Sunday. Is that a thing that Challenge? are doing every Sunday ?
-
Well, I think we can work out something from that ratings table...
People really really like Takeshi's Castle!
Hmm...maybe I could rewire my street's cable TV boxes to switch over to Challenge at 11.30... Does it matter whether the TV is on or not, because then it could happen when people are asleep!

Not as such I don't think, if there was I'm pretty sure that the entire website and forum would be covered in streamers and banners proclaiming 'Hurrah! Another Series is going to be shown on challenge!' and we'd all be wearing little party hats, but considering we're not.....
Well, I'm not wearing a party hat....
Is there anyone out there who is and would like to explain themselves?!
