Buzz: David Moyes, Game of Thrones and a whole host more from our last 40 editions

It's been a while since I updated this blog.

We've been releasing our monthly series of Harris Buzz reports in the meantime.

As always, this is a monthly survey of awareness and excitement surrounding the latest releases in entertainment, media and technology using a nationally representative Harris Poll of 2,000 GB respondents.

The most recent report is our May 2014 report. This and all previous report can be found here.

Our May report is our 40th edition, spanning over 3 years of Buzz reporting, testing over 500 entertainment and device releases and other news in the sector.



We measure awareness, discussion and excitement for each item on Buzz.

Shown below is our all-time list for Excitement across all 40 editions. Everything is tested as close to release as possible to make a fair comparison.
