Mr Selfridge down nearly a million on last week is slightly worrying.
yes, that is poor considering both the high hopes for the show, and the poor weather in alot of places last night.
That said Ripper Street, didnt beat it by that much, Mr Selfridge may win out when you include +1.
I assume Dancing On Ice is down year on year, this may well be its last year.
Ripper aside a very strong night for the BBC, with the whole schedule preforming well, shame Ripper wasn't more like 6.3m just to round off a good night.
More worrying is that Splash is rating nearly as well as Mr Selfridge, I wonder how this thread would react if that happened to Downton Abbey.

Ripper is bang on where I thought it would be. It's doing fine.
It's a refreshing change for a Sunday. I am enjoying it it's improved enormously throughout it's run. First episode was the worst.
So much for snow boosts then. Is Ripper St up? Worrying for Selfridge, first week I didn't watch it, but that wasn't entirely my choice anyway.
To be honest with Selfridge the main problem I'm finding is the lead guy! He's perfectly good in the role, but I wonder if I'm not the only one finding the OTT American enthusiasm of the character a little tiresome after a while. Not great for a show when you're more interested in the side characters.
DOI main show dead level with last week no? Not too bad really. Skate-Off is unexciting but still up on Family Fortunes which held up well itself.
Fantastic as expected for Midwife.
Scary stuff when Countryfile nearly tops the night. Yikes.
BBC will be pleased all round. Think ITV will just be glad DOI didn't drop and that they had a 5 million+ show against Midwife.
We all know Robbie's views on +1 so I won't go there...
The story isn't whether or not it beat Ripper Street depending on whether you include/exclude +1 though, the story is how many viewers it lost week-on-week. (over 1 million)

Only if it continues to fall. If it can stay around 7 million then it's fine. They might just be better moving it,
Trouble is, it now provides an alternative to the drama/documentary sort of stuff on BBC1. Whereas before ITV would have a staple hit at 8pm on Sundays, they've now lost that slot and having another drama there would be very risky unless it appealed to an entirely different audience.
But DOI on Saturdays could flourish or at least get back to ratings it had for 2010/11 which were acceptable. It's just a case of finding something solid for Sundays.
[QUOTE=Charnham;63731985]I am not criticising Ripper Street, finally a worth while period drama on Sunday night. Its rare I find one, that I like.[/QUOTE]
I didn't think you were. It's a shame it couldn't of stayed at 6m but the gore must have turned the wimps away.
It's like silent witness old fashioned style! ITV will be on that idea in a flash!

Pearl Harbour: 1.46m (5.5%)
Celebrity Big Brother: 2.23m (8.3%)
Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side: 842k (4.4%)
More importantly, big slump for Selfridge - did Ripper St beat it?
Blandings!!!!! It held up well!!! :eek:
Riper Street now in frount of Selfridge!
And look how close countryfile was to DOI!!!! :eek:
Wow. That's a great night for BBC One there.
Ken
Yes it did.
That is astonishing
Really poor night for ITV IMO. Sundays used to be strong for them.
Dancing on Ice - 7.16m (27.4%)
All Star Family Fortunes - 5.20m (18.6%)
Dancing on Ice - 5.54m (19.0%)
Mr Selfridge - 5.87m (21.9%)
BBC1 wins every flagship 9 slot last week Monday to Sunday.
Outside of the Olympics, I cannot remember when if ever that last happened.
Certainly not in autumn and winter!
Seismic!
Mr Selfridge is not the hit ITV were hoping for!

Ripper Street went up to 5.64m and beat Mr Selfridge excluding +1, including +1 Mr Selfridge was ahead.
And CTM peaked at 10.1m.

0.51m up on last week. I'd put that down to a CTM boost rather than a snow boost though.
CTM will be hit too, and there may not be snow.
But with the rate Selfridge is shipping viewers, ITV remains deeply in the doo-doo!
I just wish its ratings were a little higher, seems to let the night down.

I've already acknowledged that Dancc.
