Does anyone else watch Come Dine With Me? I think it's a great program and some over the voice over's comments are funny.

I watch it when I can and I think the voice over's comments are hilarious. The celebrity version is quite good fun too.

Australia's population is only about 20m so proportionally they have more viewers over there than here. Home and Away is more popular in Australia than Neighbours.

Law and Order is a really good show, so I'm glad it's being well recieved. Hopefully those figures are enough for a recommission, but with ITV's financial state at the moment..who knows?

Robson Green is doing well for Five. I think when the channel has big names like Robson Green attached to their shows, they are capable of getting over 1 million which is good for Five.

Impressive for Dancing On Ice, though I was expecting Lewis to rate higher. Are they good enough figures to justify the cost of producing the drama?

The Secret Millionaire and Chris Moyles had pretty poor debuts. The Secret Millionaire should stick to Tuesday nights.
