Seven Days Sinks to 680k

[Snukey]

Seven Days including +1 got 810k

I Think The Second Episode was much better than the first.

[Maia]

I didn't actually watch the second episode. I don't think people are really warming to it as much as Big Brother.

my mistake 810k with +1

:(

People just aren't willing to give this a chance, it's a shame really. As you said, last night's episode was much better. It'll improve as we get to know the characters more.

It's a shame because I would like this eight-week run to be extended, so that it becomes a long-running 'soap' [except it's real].

I thought episode 2 was alright.

I look forward to old cone head Rex himself turning up in week 3.

He text me he's been shooting at his dad's restaurant. Gonna spice things up!:devil:


I like it.

The second ep was a slight improvement but I think I'm gonna stop watching.

It was quite well advertised and publicised but its just full of dull and/or dislikeable people who come across as wooden and aware of the cameras. Half the cast are overshaddowed by other people and each ep ends with a "Is that it?" sort of feel. I'd rather have BB back than this.

The final nail in the coffin is that this week's ep is on a Tuesday so it's not even Seven Days - it's technically Six. Why would Ch4 hype this show up the way it did if it's just going to mistreat it already?

Walk down any street and experience the mediocrity and dullness of the everyday life of generally unpleasant and boring people being touted as "entertainment" in Seven Days. I've already switched off, and hopefully the programme will quietly crawl under a rock and die.

Serves them right for throwing away 2.5m that BB was getting nightly.

A last-minute schedule change to Tuesday nights has failed to rescue Seven Days, the Notting Hill reality soap, from ratings ignominy, after the latest installment left the show with just over half of its opening audience.

Tuesday’s episode drew just 0.59 million viewers, a dismal 3.5 per cent of the total audience. The average for the 10pm slot is about 11 per cent.

Seven Days began three weeks ago with one million viewers, itself a disappointing figure given the show’s extensive marketing campaign.

This week Seven Days got caned by the BBC Ten O’Clock News (4.6 million) and fell behind CSI on Five and even Newsnight on BBC Two.

There’s a huge challenge for Jay Hunt, Channel 4’s incoming chief creative officer. Will C4 do more than fill the BB slot with diluted reality shows?

There’s a stale feel to Shameless, now into series eight and Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant shows. Can they be revitalised or replaced?

The schedules are packed with lightweight, factual shows like The Wedding House, which also launched on Tuesday – and its weak performance gave Seven Days a poor audience inheritance.

The current C4 is a dreadful channel now, a pitiful example of how poor that expensively made TV can become - after the "change" in 1993, the likes of The Comic Strip Presents, The Tube and Chelmsford 123 were rarely to be seen again, replaced instead with imports such as Friends and ER ..... :eek:

This was far, far better last night. It's improving every week and it is actually pretty good now. It's a shame people aren't willing to give it a chance. Big Brother was never really interesting in its first few days/weeks each series, was it? This is a really innovative, different format - and it's an interesting one. I like the fact that viewers can interact with the characters and then we see their comments on them the following week. Also last night some of the characters started 'meeting up' and we saw them interact with each other. It's a very interesting format, it's just a shame people aren't willing to give it a chance.

Im actually a fan now. Its a really interesting concept. Its kind of bittersweet though, i would like it if the show could get more viewers coz i think it deserves atleast 1m average but im also glad to see channel 4 doing so badly

See! I knew it would pick up - it's a shame more people aren't willing to give this a chance. Don't know what all the rubbish is about the characters being 'boring' is either, they're pretty much the same arrogant, strange people we got on Big Brother. Ben, Samantha, Laura Z and that hairdresser guy in particular stand out to me as people that could've been good housemates.
