Ahh sorry, I got them from the DS report last week. What are the correct shares? I thought they seemed really low. If any of my info is incorrect would you edit it?

BOAF just 6.10m - I expected at least a comment from Samuel.
Law and Order UK's rating is underwhelming which is a shame as it's a good little show. Wednesday at 9pm doesn't seem to be a good night for itv dramas. Maybe they should stick with showing 2 hour dramas there in future. Hopefully Law and Order UK will see a bit of a boost once Line of Duty finishes next week.
Fantastic to see all BBC 1 returning dramas up year on year in the official averages. I won't be surprised if BBC 1 extend the episode order for Death in Paradise to 10 episodes for the next two series.
Endeavour returns soon - a quality show which I hope improves on last year's figures.
I think Silk will be down on its previous series judging by its ratings trajectory but good to see some dramas doing better this year. I hope Line Of Duty goes out on a high and reaches 4m. I forgot how well series 1 did, it was getting 4m every week when it's BBC HD simulcast rating is included.

Had there not been a three week gap, we can assured Birds would've consolidated to around 6.8m-7m meaning the average would be over or just under 8m inc+1. ITV's on fault for doing this, you have to wonder who's actually scheduling these programmes sometimes.
Suspects being recommissioned is almost as shocking as Toast Of London coming back. Both undeserved from a ratings point-of-view.
I guess Five hope they can relaunch the show effectively in the autumn in a new slot. Get behind it big time and hope for the best. Obviously the fact the critics liked it has been a huge factor.
While ratings have been terrible, I imagine the show's inexpensive enough for them to commission a second series and then promote the second half of the series and hope it increases, wonder if they'll pair with CSI when that returns or perhaps in a 9pm slot.
I am hoping Channel 5 does commission more original drama although I think they should do something more traditional even if it costs extra.
Thanks for explaining that. I like what they're doing for The Voice this series shame they didn't do this for the first series.
Agree Cylon it's nice they are mostly keeping the Voice in the same place this year. Last year they did that stupid move when they put it on that Friday which really hurt it.
Now you've made me feel bad that I giggled.:( But your right we shouldn't joke about tragedy. Unless it's in private.............;-)
Well it's wrong because of the Malaysian event then also wrong in terms of Samuel. Sure it was just a heat of the moment 'joke' though. Mind you if it was an American plane, DS would have probably banned the user for life and it would have made front pages..but yes this is way off ratings talk...
On a lighter note, does anyone expect a bumper rating for "The Plane That Vanished: Live" tonight on C5? It is dominating the news recently - pushing Crimea down in the headlines. I know it will be wild speculation, but viewers are often intrigued by mysterious occurrences.
Last Saturday, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 took off for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur with 239 passengers and crew on board and just over an hour later it altered course and vanished from the radar screens. In this programme, Donal MacIntyre is joined by aviation experts to investigate all the major theories surrounding the disappearance of the civilian airliner, asking if it was pilot error, technical failure, terrorism or some other freak occurrence.
BBC One doesn't need any more drama, Ratings will drop because viewers will get sick of it.
Sorry, but that's a pretty daft comment. BBC1 needs as much drama as it can get its hands on, it's the building blocks of any TV schedule. The point is that they can offer a range of drama to suit all audience tastes. People aren't going to get sick of it because nobody's expected to watch it all.
ITV in the nineties had drama seven days a week half the time and people didn't get sick of that, they were thrashing BBC1 week in week out.

Thanks Steve for some actual fact, I sometimes wonder what people are thinking, it's not as if it's the same drama on every day!
ITV used to be The "Drama Channel" back in the day, It was packed to the rafters with all sorts.

He appears to have vanished.
If there was any justice it would.
Cheers for those shares Neil

He wasn't on that Malaysian airliner was he ?
Wow could you get much lower?!

That's not funny.

Blandings last Sunday (9 March) ran to time for tape-checking purposes and had an overnight audience of 3.25m (16.35%).
I suppose its one of those 'prestige' programs that look good on the cv but thats not good ratings wise and I dont know why it ever got a second run.

Thanks Neil, if only they hadn't started with the awful Harry Enfield episode.
