BGT's ratings plumetted yesterday by losing 2.2million viewers from last week. An average of 8.3m viewers [excluding +1] watched the Itv reality show, which was its worst rating for a second episode since 2007. It was also the show's worst share for a second episode since 2008!

You conveniently miss out the 11.1m(50%) peak didn't you. That tells you it is starting too early.
Why would it being Easter Weekend cause ratings to be down?
So I take it the share for PC is equally bad, if not worse?
To be honest, they're still great ratings BUT I do think the sob stories may have put some people off last week. Plus, like you say, it was Easter Saturday.
And what has Easter Saturday got to do with it? Are X Factor ratings ever down on Yom Kippur?
So the BBC have given up on airing against BGT? Now they just put a "cheap daytime game show" on against it?
-BGT last night actually averaged 9.3m and got a share of 45%.
-The audience was 1.8m lower than last week, not 2.2m.
-The 45% share was actually the show's fourth highest share for a second episode ever.
-Easter weekend drags it down every time it airs there. It actually got a higher share than previous Easter weekend episodes. The lower audience is because of the early 7pm slot as much as anything.
-It peaked at 11.1m/50%, showing it grew a lot across the episode.
Those that cannot understand why Easter would affect ratings.. Many people go away for Easter as its a very long weekend.
Thanking you for the actual facts lol
It's an excuse that's frequently trotted out by the Cowell apologists when one of his shows doesn't perform as well as usual. If it's not Easter then it's warm weather and barbecues and yes, X Factor bad ratings are frequently blamed on viewers being out doing their Xmas shopping or being on their work Xmas do's.
No one ever suggests that maybe people might have just switched off because they've seen it all before
Nail on the head!
Actually they do, but the actual facts don't support their claim so it tends to be ignored
The Cowell spin is getting very very desperate:D
Cowell apologists LMFAO. He has got absolutely nothing to do with me liking or disliking a tv show....brilliant! DS is comedy gold sometimes
More comedy gold
Strange - I'd say the snide comments from people who have nothing constructive to add to the thread are more desperate.
The rating is low but that's down to the idiotic scheduling. As Score said, everything outside the raw figure is fine.
It was a statement of fact. It wasn't supposed to be spin. If I was trying to spin I wouldn't have mentioned it being 1.8m down.
Maybe instead of trolling threads of shows you don't like you could do something more constructive with your time.
