  • This Week's TV Player Report
    The TV Player Report A beta report into online TV viewing Week ending 17th January 2016 Table of contents Page 1 Introduction 2 Terminology 3 Generating online viewing data 4 Capturing on-demand viewing & live streaming 5 Aggregate viewing by TV player (On-demand & live streaming) 6 Top channels (Live streaming) 7 Top 50 on-demand programmes (All platforms) 9 Top 50 on-demand programmes (Android apps) 11 Top 50 on-demand programmes (Apple iOS apps) 13 Top 50 on-demand programmes (Website player) 15 Top 10 on-demand programmes by TV player 18 Frequently asked questions Introduction In an era of constant change, BARB continues to develop its services in response to fragmenting behaviour patterns. Since our launch in 1981, there has been proliferation of platforms, channels and catch-up services. In recent years, more people have started to watch television and video content distributed through the internet. Project Dovetail is at the heart of our development strategy. Its premise is that BARB’s services need to harness the strengths of two complementary data sources. - BARB’s panel of 5,100 homes provides representative viewing information that delivers programme reach, demographic viewing profiles and measurement of viewers per screen. - Device-based data from web servers provides granular evidence of how online TV is being watched. The TV Player Report is the first stage of Project Dovetail. It is a beta report that is based on the first outputs from BARB working with UK television broadcasters to generate data about all content delivered through the internet. This on-going development delivers a census- level dataset that details how different devices are being used to view online TV.

Following the lives of three priests and their housekeeper on the fictional landmass of Craggy Island, the series, which first aired in 1995, became an instant sensation. Although Father Ted only ran for three seasons and had wrapped by 1998, its cult status reigns to this very day. The show is critically renowned for its writing by Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews, which details the crazy lives of the parochial house inhabitants: Father Ted Crilly (Dermot Morgan), Father Dougal McGuire (Ardal O'Hanlon), Father Jack Hackett (Frank Kelly), and Mrs Doyle (Pauline McLynn).

  • The College Chronicle: Writing from Afar
    The College Chronicle: Writing From Afar 1 The Editorial A few members of the Sixth Form, in an attempt to provide some continuity in these uncertain times, have decided to come together and, from afar, write a lockdown edition of the College Chronicle. Our aim with this is to provide a focus on new and interesting topics that, hopefully, might act as a distraction from the problems of the world. Writing for the Sixth Form Newsletter has been very much missed by those Year 13s among us who surrendered our activities sessions in the Lent term for extra A Level revision periods, however we now find ourselves displaced from our usual meeting place of the library, and instead have had to work to put this together solely on the “COVID-19 Newsletter gang” group chat. This edition features an abundance of recommendations for entertaining yourselves in this unique time of confinement. If you are tired of watching the news all day, Laila's whimsical Sitcom Selector will let you find a new TV show to binge watch, with so many suggestions for every situation that you’ll be left spoilt for choice. Reading is another great way of passing the time, and Amelia's new series, Isolation Bookshelf, will provide you with interesting analysis on a range of books, some that may well end up being your next read! Matty, making his College Chronicle debut, puts a coronavirus-themed spin on the classic Desert Island Discs in his Lockdown Listening, sharing with us the albums, TV series, film, book and luxury item he would take into lockdown, as well as interviewing others.

E-mail: [email protected] In 1974, the lofty ambition of a BBC drama producer to manufacture a ‘prestige’ international hit along the lines of Elizabeth R (BBC2, 1971) came unstuck. In this case study, the authors consider the plight of Churchill’s People (BBC1, 1974-75) during a time of economic strife in the UK and industrial unrest at the BBC, and ask how a series which combined so many skilled writers, directors and actors could result in such a poorly-received end product. Churchill’s People is also placed in a wider context to assess its ‘neglected’ status, the authors drawing parallels with other historical drama of the era. The series’ qualification for being ‘forgotten’ is considered in relation to its struggle in the ratings against strong competition, the ‘blacking out’ by unions of production at the BBC for eight weeks and the subsequent pressures on transmission times, prompting the authors’ consideration of a more qualified definition of ‘lost’ drama, i.e.

  • The Production of Religious Broadcasting: the Case of The
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository The Production of Religious Broadcasting: The Case of the BBC Caitriona Noonan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Centre for Cultural Policy Research Department of Theatre, Film and Television University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8QQ December 2008 © Caitriona Noonan, 2008 Abstract This thesis examines the way in which media professionals negotiate the occupational challenges related to television and radio production. It has used the subject of religion and its treatment within the BBC as a microcosm to unpack some of the dilemmas of contemporary broadcasting. In recent years religious programmes have evolved in both form and content leading to what some observers claim is a “renaissance” in religious broadcasting. However, any claims of a renaissance have to be balanced against the complex institutional and commercial constraints that challenge its long-term viability. This research finds that despite the BBC’s public commitment to covering a religious brief, producers in this style of programming are subject to many of the same competitive forces as those in other areas of production. Furthermore those producers who work in-house within the BBC’s Department of Religion and Ethics believe that in practice they are being increasingly undermined through the internal culture of the Corporation and the strategic decisions it has adopted. This is not an intentional snub by the BBC but a product of the pressure the Corporation finds itself under in an increasingly competitive broadcasting ecology, hence the removal of the protection once afforded to both the department and the output.
