Quote from: Barrington Boots on Today at 03:06:53 PMOnly that IRON TEETH seems to be a child-murdering underground monster whose initials are IT, which is the name of Stephen Kings famous child-killing monster that lives in the sewers. It might be nothing (at least that's my reading of it)Ah. Excuse my ignorance. I thought I'd missed a Dredd reference from my well-spent youth.
Quote from: Vector14 on Today at 02:40:22 PMFar from predicting the future of crime ridden cities I think Mega City 1 was more a version of the, then present-day New York and other US cities of the late 70's. Or at least the movie version of them you'd see in the UK.
There is a very steep decline in violent crime in the UK from 1995 onwards. It was steeply up until 95! Perhaps the changing situation in Northern Ireland had a strong influence on the numbers.
Quote from: Steve Green on Today at 06:05:43 PMYes we will see once the collated ratings are in for streaming.Quote from: Jim_Campbell on Today at 04:35:57 PMQuote from: judgeurko on Today at 03:55:41 PMYep but it is far worse than most other overnight figures for the show.
But... as pointed out already, the target audience for the show has clearly changed to a much younger demographic who are unlikely to watch broadcast TV. I'm not saying the numbers will be great whenever they finally get tallied up, just that if they've lost [X] million older viewers from the live broadcast but gained [X+1] million younger ones on platforms that don't register in the overnights, then we can't infer much from the overnights, other than fewer people watched the show 'live'.
This is the first one where they've premiered on streaming isn't it? If so, you've got that factor too - some staying up until midnight and not bothering with the Saturday evening live broadcast.
I've no idea what overseas will make of it - maybe here there will be a bump here for the Moffatt written episode.
I guess we'll only know way down the line - it's only an 8 episode series after all.
I don't know what deal Disney have with Who, but they were pretty brutal with Willow
Quote from: Jim_Campbell on Today at 05:24:18 PMBoth episodes. Space Babies seemed to be aimed at younger fans, the 2nd one not so much. Thern again do little kids like babies?Quote from: judgeurko on Today at 05:07:07 PMHow do you know the target audience for the show has clearly changed to a much younger demographic?
Did you watch it...?
