I wonder if ITV will ever bother again in producing a proper New Year's Eve show?

They put their National Lottery Bash very early in the evening and then fill the rest up with a James Bond film.

It wouldn't be hard for them to produce say a Jonathan Ross Show special to be an alternative to the now fairly boring and dull Graham Norton New Year's Eve special which this year had very below par guest line up

Jonathan Ross doesn't exactly perform very well for ITV these days. For example, the Jonathan Ross Christmas Eve special last week didn't even manage 1m viewers - it only got around 690k viewers between 10:15 - 11:15pm, and was comfortably beaten by the Not Going Out Christmas special on BBC One at around the same time, which was close to 3m viewers. For context, a typical edition of The Graham Norton Show on Friday nights of late at 10:40pm gets close to 2m viewers.
