Quote from: Barrington Boots on 13 May, 2024, 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 13 May, 2024, 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.

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

Thern again do little kids like babies?Quote from: judgeurko on 13 May, 2024, 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...?
