Their Christmas special didn't even manage to get to the 1 million mark I was told, and I can see why.

What’s your source for this?

Worth pointing out that it received 1.8 million last night. That’s reasonable enough for the slot and will be over 2 million consolidated. It also didn’t finish until after 10.30pm, so will almost certainly have been above the slot average.

I wonder what the ratings will be for the Oscars® coverage. It's been on Sky for years, so ratings will be up and that is likely to be how ITV will spin it, "Highest ratings in X years" but do real people actually watch it in the middle of the night?

I think a format similar to the ill-fated Nightly Show would work quite well on a Saturday. It had something a bit more than just a regular chat show.

The Oscars coverage is hosted by Jonathan Ross in what looks to be in TVC Studio 2 utilising the screen from the Lorraine studio. With the programme finishing at 2.30am, means there's going to have to be a short turnaround throughout the night to get it ready for Lorraine at 9am.

Ross King and Angelique Jackson hosted live red carpet coverage before the ITV1 show started on the ITVX Oscars Fast Channel.

Considering Lorraine's production team every day take down her set and put up Loose Women set for 12.30pm with just 2 hours to do it, I think having 6 hours is plenty of time for Lorraine's production team to get their set in.

They certainly get some use out of the Lorraine studio.

The music they’re using sounds like the GMB Oscars theme from a few years ago.

My view is, you have to spend money to see what is popular - for example ITV could try out that format and see the response - not hard to do 2 or 3 specials and judge if the audience is there, the sponsors and advertisers are there

ITV have already unsuccessfully rebooted Saturday Live twice before. There was a series in 1996 and another one off in 2007. It didn't work for Channel 4 either when they gave it another go a couple of years ago.

Based on this 45 minutes (now 50 apparently!) ITV really shouldn't have bothered, just shown the actual Oscars...

It does sound very similar, its not identical but it does have some tweaks to the GMB Oscar theme - I wonder if GMB will use the theme in the morning as well with the new ITV ties with The Oscars this year.
