That's a shame, but given Corrie's weak figures recently its no wonder it was lower than last year. My exception of 6m might have been a bit too high. I expect 3.5m or so stayed with BBC1 for John Bishop in Australia.
There was a lot of factual competition last night too:
Excellent #RoyalMarinesCommandoSchool marched onto C4 at 9pm lined up 2.1m/9.7%, with another 313.5k/1.9% on C4+1. http://t.co/Gu75jKfL7Z
Solid return for Long Lost Family. A little down on last year but nothing to worry about, it's still a strong performer. Corrie being down won't have helped and John Bishop will have been solid factual opposition. Horrible for Utopia though!

Pointless and The Chase very close there! Good for Big Brother too.
Fantastic for BB and BOTS. The Chase and Pointless now even!
The Armageddon for Big Brother worked last night, nice increase. Hope it helps in the long run. I would guess that is probably Bit On The Side's highest rating since launch night.
Nice for LLF, around the same as I expected. Poorer than expected for Utopia, I expected between 800k-1m. Has anyone have the breakdown for BB? Wondering if it dropped/stayed static throughout.
Dancc is not going to like this, Radio Times has once again just like during the Olmpics relegated Channel 5 to the minor Freeview Channel pages in favour of BBC3 while the Commonwealth Games are on. Meanwhile BBC3 is operating from 9am in the morning.

Pointless and The Chase now a dead heat, with The Chase now ahead in share. Tipping Point did 'ok' but obviously lost momentum with football disruption.
Big Brother has improved and got a very nice rating. Couples Come Dine With Me did well
And look at Bargain Hunt. A 31% share in daytime. Huge share and this is what gives BBC1 good daytime shares along with news.
Big Bro
1518 (+1 90k)
BBBotS 615k (sorry no +1 fig)
Good to see EE only 400-500k off Corrie now on Mondays, and around 1m ahead of Emmerdale. Tomorrow will be low for Emmerdale and particularly EE with the clash. EE has around a week to slightly recover before the Commonwealth Games forces it back down and onto BBC Two.
The second Corrie was 7.42m (35.2%) tape checked, although the figures are unspectacular they can be happy that there isn't a big drop between episodes anymore.
Good to see EE only 400-500k off Corrie now on Mondays, and around 1m ahead of Emmerdale. Tomorrow will be low for Emmerdale and particularly EE with the clash. EE has around a week to slightly recover before the Commonwealth Games forces it back down and onto BBC Two.
I think its more to do with Corrie's weakened state than EE's rise that has helped them to close a ratings gap.
DS reporting different ratings of 1.55m excl +1 for BB, so if the 90k on +1 is true, wouldn't that be 1.64m rather than 1.61m? Are they tapechecked and the ones on here aren't?
Also, 1.21m incl +1 for The 100 on E4. Very good still!
1.56m incl +1 for Benefits Britain, a drop of almost 1m from last week!

Am I missing somthing here? Was EE the top soap yesterday?
EE top soap!
Yes you are missing something. +1
No, Mike's figures are SD + HD.

Aww
Corrie leading the soaps with just 7 million is clearly showing mass soap fatigue allround.
ITV HD are the plusses
I rarely post +1 figs, if so they will be labelled in brackets
Sorry for any confusion
No dw I should have looked more closely.
Doesn't it show the weather is warm?
I think to blame the mass exodus of soap viewers on a sunny day is masking the problem. All the soaps have been struggling the best few months

Utopia was a bigger niche last year. Big Brother took some of its viewers it seems. And warm weather rather than soap fatigue explains their ratings.

Shame it's one of the best British drama's in years, but no surprise it has low ratings. I find the best things on TV normally do.
We gave up after half an hour. Neither of us could even remember how Utopia 1 ended or whether we actually stuck with it to the end.
