Series 22 Post View

This would be an autopsy but what would be the point? So it's a Ratings/Stats report.

So here's the data for the last few series:

In the UK
  • S19 was Monday/Tuesdays
  • S20 was Tuesday/Wednesdays
  • S21 was Thursday/Fridays
  • S22 was Saturdays
So all change for the Brighton Line....the TV ratings are varying as much due to this as anything else.

Series 22 maintained it's ratings quite well. But the quality of the show took an alarming dip

Main problems were the poor scripting and the lacklustre directing but the acting is not great either.

S19 DWMB rating 66.9%
S20 DWMB Rating 66.7%
S21 DWMB Rating 60.0%
S22 DWMB Rating 39.3%


That's an appalling drop and a new low.




Notes for statistically challenged.

avg is the mean - sum of all values divided by the quantity of values.

St Dev is standard deviation -  a measure of the variation of a set of values.
  • Low standard deviation shows values are close to the mean. 
  • High standard deviation shows values are spread over a wider range.
