Viewers snub Dav's show DAVINA McCall’s new primetime chat show got off to a disastrous start — pulling in just 3.5million viewers.
The Big Brother presenter’s BBC1 slot got only HALF the audience of ITV1 rival The Bill when it launched at 8pm on Wednesday.
The show, simply called Davina, is worth £1million to its host and was intended to put some sparkle back into the midweek line-up.
But it flopped with less than 15 per cent of the TV audience tuning in.
It was even beaten by Channel 4’s Relocation, Relocation — which was watched by 3.7million.
The guests on Davina, which has been heavily trailed, included Charlotte Church, Tess Daly, Vernon Kay, Max Beesley and Julian Clary.
But the Winter Olympics on BBC2 nearly matched it with 2.9million viewers.

i dont think the time slot helps it put 2 much pressure on davina show 2 get ratings they should either have it later or in a tea time slot like the Paul O'grady show
mayb ratings will pick up next week

they should put it on at about 9/10 because at 8 oclock, everyone watches the bill (apart from me ![:D](http://img400.imageshack.us/img400/9080/iconloled4.gif) )

i think the pressure was really on though because she was the first solo female presenter to have a prime time show of that kind

i think the name "davina" is just not well thought about and could turn away potential viewers. it should be somethin like wednesday night with davina, the davina macall show or somethin like that ...

i think the bbc should give cat a chat show and let it run all year along side davina but alternating every 3 months ...

yeah sounds like a gud idea ![;)](http://img344.imageshack.us/img344/9967/iconwinkdg5.gif) but i think it mite not work on the bbc as there's 2 much pressure 4 it 2 do well Davina show was doomed from the start mayb channel 4 would b better in Graham Nortons old time slot
