= The New BBC Ratings/Timeslot Plan = As you all know, the BBC is one of the biggest TV channels in the world. It is home to popular shows like Strictly Come Dancing, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Breakfast, and, until now, The Great British Bake Off, which has now been sold to Channel 4. In case the BBC are reading this, a plan for their uncertain future may be necessary.

Plan

 * Strictly Come Dancing is known to have a results show on Sundays. But when the results show starts airing, Strictly has to finish before 8.30pm due to the results show being recorded straight after. But, here's a strategy to make way for other shows getting low ratings because of the show:
 * Move Strictly to a later, more permanent timeslot, like 9pm, where more people will be watching. Ley's say put the show at 9pm, and let it finish at 10.15pm or 10.30pm. Then, at 10 o'clock or so, let the results be announced on air, with a public vote on who stays. For the Grand Finale at the end of the series, put Strictly Come Dancing on at 8pm until 10pm. Sorted!
 * The BBC will supposedly see Strictly at a more stable, estimated ratings averages of 6.1 million viewers if this method is taken into consideration.
 * Slot Doctor Who at 7.05pm or 7pm in 2017 for a 12-episode, 45 minute run in April. But the problem, mainly because of a ratings clash, would be the hugely popular talent show on ITV, Britain's Got Talent. Last year we saw BGT slotted at 8pm for all the auditions. Keep it at 8pm. Sorted!
 * The BBC will supposedly see Doctor Who at better, regular ratings of, let's say, 7.2 million viewers on average, rather than 2015's ratings drop.


 * And ITV will supposedly see BGT at it's regular 9 million viewers on average.
