Anyway, Scott and Bailey's figure last night shows how silly ITV have been with Love and Marriage's scheduling; it'd have more of a chance on Thursday night. EastEnders may struggle next week but it'll bounce back the week after. The Boleyn documentary was great and deserved that rating on BBC Two. Channel 5 had a very good day overall.
Three years ago when ITV ratings were generally higher than they are now, the UEFA Champions League final between Bayern Munich & Inter Milan averaged just 3.04m (16.1%).
Borussia Dortmund are lower profile than Inter Milan, so it's hard to see Saturday's game rating significantly better than that. It'll probably do mid 3's, and the peak won't be anything too spectacular.
Mods are slipping.... can't lose over six years of ratings!
It'll be interesting though to see how it averages as I suspect for many a marathon edition of The Voice will send viewers to ITV.
I'd rather watch people sing then a bunch of men running round a football field

Now hopefully if Deborah Turness can get a job at NBC when he best contribution to ITV News was maternity leave then Jay Hunt can bugger off to FOX!
Meanwhile there are reports next years Idol judges will all be ex-contestants with Jennifer Hudson confirmed, Kelly Clarkson close to signing and Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken fighting for the third spot. That all has a hint of "final season" to it for me.
He's. right for once 9-10m peak is not going to happen
The weather seemed to swap halves from north to south today. Was 8 Celcius, cold and rainy down here in Oxford, and most of the midlands/south-east too. Regardless of the weather though, we ought to be bracing for some low ratings due to the Friday night before a bank holiday weekend effect.
I think Eastenders could slip to 5.7 million for it's Friday outing, sparking calls for it to be axed etc
Well someone had to say it
NBC have confirmed Turness has got the job.
It should do better next week though, up against the football, it may mop up the non-football audience.
It was warmer the previous bank holiday weekend so I don't think the ratings would drop any lower than then.
Its so likely that nobody outside of die-hard football fans will watch tonight's match that I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Sky's coverage outrage ITV's.
I think Waterloo Road is done for. I can't see the show receiving any kind of significant boost in ratings - the people that want to watch the show are watching it already. I think a lot of viewers would rather change channel or turn the TV off.
Two fairly ppular English teams? Wigan are one of the worst supported clubs in Premier League history.
I imagine ITV will rate around 3.5-5 million viewers for the match, but with pretty healthy demographics. UK audiences seem a lot keener to watch all foreign games than they were a few years back.
Damn right! Have we really been doing this for six years? Wow!
