  • Come Dine with Me Is Europe's Top Format
    Come Dine with Me is Europe’s top format Come Dine with Me (4,126 hours) was the most screened TV format in Europe in 2011, according to a new report that covers 50 major formats across 16 countries. The TV Formats in Europe report calculates that the hourly total of Endemol’s Big Brother has fallen considerably since 2009, with Who Wants to Be a Millionaire also declining. Jonathan Bailey, co-author and Managing Director at Essential Television Statistics, added: “Money Drop was screened for 615 hours and The Voice for 312 hours in 2011 – impressive considering that both shows only started in 2010. Both are expected to grow sharply in 2012.” Top five titles by value created in 2011 ($ million) Channel Distributor $ mil.

Total format hours (for the 50 titles covered) in Europe was 16,856 in 2011, comparable with 2009 and 2010. The UK was the leading country, but its 2011 total was considerably lower than in 2010.

  • Oxford Colleges
    Oxford colleges Oxford University is made up of different colleges. Colleges are academic communities. They are where students usually have their tutorials. Each one has its own dining hall, bar, common room and library, and lots of college groups and societies. All undergraduate students at Oxford become members of a college. Depending on your course choice, the number of colleges and halls available to you may vary (see pp 126–127). You will also be a member of the wider University. To find out how colleges and departments fit together, see p 5. Wherever you go, your course will be the same and you will be able to socialise with whomever you choose. Everyone lives in college accommodation in their first year. After that, you may decide to live with friends from your own or other colleges in rented accommodation (see pp 164–165). Even so, you will still spend lots of time in your own college, whether to attend tutorials, visit friends, have a meal, watch a film, spend time in the library or just do your washing. All colleges offer a close and supportive environment and foster the academic development and welfare of every one of their students all the time they are here. 124| Read more about choosing a college on p 163 The best thing about Oxford is the colleges. The colleges are the heart and soul of the place. They ensure that every new student has a ready-made community and tutors who see them regularly and really care about them and their academic development.

  • TV Formats in Europe
    TV Formats in Europe Given the prolonged advertising recession and the fact that several major titles have peaked, the TV formats market in Europe is showing remarkable resilience. The value created by the top 100 formats was $2,931 million in 2013 for 84 European channels across the 16 territories and 21 distributors, according to the TV Formats in Europe report. The 2013 figure was 3.3% down on the 2012 total, but up on 2011. The number of hours broadcast reached 28,386 in 2013, nearly the same as 2012. The UK is the TV formats leader in Europe – just ahead of France. The value created by formats for UK broadcasters was $600 million in 2013, down from $677 million in 2012. France recorded $599 million in 2013, up from $547 million in 2012. The UK, France, Germany and Italy accounted for 72% of Europe’s total value created in 2013. The top 10 broadcasters accounted for two-thirds of the total value created in Europe for 2013 – which means that the remaining third was shared by 74 channels. France’s TF1 ($332 million) led the pack again, followed by Italy’s Rai 1 and the UK’s BBC1. The total number of hours broadcast in Europe for the 100 formats was 28,386 in 2013; very close to 2012. The UK was the leader again, despite its 2013 total (3,935) being considerably lower than in 2012 (4,623). Romania took third place, having added 645 hours to its total in 2013. Published in March 2014, this 146-page, PDF-delivered report covers 100 major formats on 84 channels across 16 European territories; with extensive comparison tables.
