Just seen on CH4 sales Glee got 1.5m! Keeps on increasing! 1.5m is amazing for an import on E4-definetely beat BBC2 and could have beat CH4.

Thanks dubsj.... that's a pretty good rating and is probably higher than the majority of other programmes on BBC Three would get.

Wow for Glee. Looks like all of Hustle's younger viewers have migrated over to E4 now then, now that Hustle's finished. It took 1.51m in total viewers last night.
I think Eastenders did pretty well last night. A 39.6% share is very good for a Monday episode and up on last week. Generally its only the Tuesday and Thursday episodes that have the higher 40+ shares due to the earlier start time.

It's a great rating. Like yourself I wasn't too impressed with the ratings for the terrestrial coverage, but sport seems to retain better on multi-channel if you see what I mean.

First medal possibly tonight? Might provide a boost going into primetime.

I think it got 1.9m for two episodes for China but considering it started off with 1.6m, it has had a pretty consistent audience.

Not sure why Gadget Show was down either.

400K down week-on-week does seem pretty steep considering Merton was up. I can't think what might have affected it?

Oh well, I'm sure it will recover next week.

Isn't 1.1m about The Gadget Show's usual level though? The 1.5m last week seemed unusually high and maybe it just returned to normal levels.

I don't particularly follow The Gadget Show's ratings though so if last week's rating was more standard for it then I can't think of anything that would have affected it.

Btw, I love the line in Broadcast's article:


Typical!

I have to change it:

"Next week however the battle will heat up again with BBC1 unleashing perennial repeat ratings-buster New Tricks and ITV1 unveiling its new comedy drama Married Single Other."

Ours lists the flop zone but points out schedules may change if ITV screen an FA Cup game - though from 8pm only - looks like Krypton Factor may keep it's slot.


It over ran - though very much a scheduled over run considering the interactive feed was billed to finish at 11.15pm.

The BBC did the same thing as ever with the Opening Ceremony - scheduled assuming it'll wrap up in 2 and a half hours, yet the ceremony ran for nearer 4 hours, as they always do. At least though with it being on BBC2 they didn't switch channels just before the flame was lit and screw up all recordings completely - I've still not forgiven them for doing that with Sydney!

Hopefully when London 2012 comes around they'll schedule it properly as it's likely to be around midnight by the time the ceremony finishes (assuming an 8pm start) - but I bet as usual the BBC will think these things are over in 3 hours and schedule the news for 11pm.


Glee has just been scheduled perfectly - Monday night not only great to rid yourself of those Monday blues, but also gives the tracks all week to get into the charts and hence generate more publicity.


Also very much overshadowed but The Cleveland Show doing rather well too.

Nah. It's normally around the 1.4-1.6 mark. The last series averaged 1.61m in the officials, peaking at 2.0m for a pre-Christmas special.

Ah, ok. Haven't a clue why it dipped last night, then. It'll probably go back up again next week.

I've mentioned The Lakes doing well nearly every week on this thread but no one seemed bothered.

Getting 4+ million each week and sometimes going up in that slot is fantastic. Normally things tend to get around 2-3 million.
I'm so glad it is doing well, its nice that ITV is recognising places outside London, and actually doing a fairly decent job, even if it is too much focused on Windermere each episode.

With the EastEnders live episode this Friday, I thought it was worth noting The Bill's ratings in October 2003 leading into its live episde (of course these ratings also remind me, oh how the mighty have fallen) :

15/10 - 7.76m
16/10 - 7.13m

22/10 - 8.29m
23/10 - 8.28m

29/10 - 8.90m
30/10 - 10.41m live episode

05/11 - 7.97m
06/11 - 7.83m

Source: BARB

So the live episode gave The Bill a 17% boost compared to its previous episode, and a 26% boost compared to the previous Thursday's episode.

If I times last Friday's EastEnders rating (9.69m and 36.6%) by 1.26 (26%), I get 12.21m (46.1%). Realistic?

EastEnders did well
Its only fridays episode thats been promoted and not everyone knew Carol was back last night.

It will be up to night mark my words.

Good rating for the later then usual 11:20pm showing of EastEnders kind of puts the whole Corrie reapt rating to bed

Nice to see even you're doing your bit as a fan.

Careful though. Ramp expectations up too much and even an above average but not overly so performance could be perceived as disappointing.

Has anybody got a list of the top 10 or so highest rated episodes of EastEnders since 2002?

Here are the highest rated per year, from BARB:

2002 - 16.97m
2003 - 16.66m
2004 - 14.80m
2005 - 14.34m
2006 - 12.33m
2007 - 14.38m
2008 - 11.73m
2009 - 11.67m
2010 - 12.09m (New Year's Day)

Well not really
it's Thurs when everything kicks off with the 2 weddings
and fights ect(Hour-long)
But Friday is the big day with it being Live and the reveal and all.
Thats the episode thats going to get casual viewers watching.I go for 12.3 for friday with a peak of 12.6 but i guess its hard to say

Anybody know how many viewers the new series of Coach Trip attracted on Channel 4 at 5pm yesterday?

So the highest rated since 2007 looks almost certain, but I doubt it will surpass that. It could well finish over 13m though IMO.

1.9m. Thanks to D.M.N. for that particular rating.

That Xmas Day rating came out of nowhere as well. It certainly hadn't been building up to that and benefited from a lot of hype surrounding the climax to that storyline (on, and it was Christmas Day!)

I don't think it will surpass those ratings either but I agree that over 13m is possible.

It will be higher tonight.

Wow Glee's doing brilliantly for E4.

So they are running ads saying "just watch on Friday, dont bother with Monday, Tuesday & Thursday"

It just keeps on climbing, doesn't it? Quite rare. I keep thinking "it will stop rising next week" and then it goes and proves me wrong again.

E4 needed this one after 90210 turned out to be a bit of a damp squib.
