Strong ratings for BBC2 from 7.30-10pm, particularly impressive for the Ryder Cup highlights and MasterChef Professionals, which was seen by a series high. The Commonwealth Games didn't rate well yesterday which I find quite surprising, but maybe the figures will increase throughout the week when the big events occur.
ITV1 had a really good evening with the soaps rating well, especially Emmerdale, and although just a day after DA it's unusual seeing an ITV drama gain viewers for episode 2. Should be enough for DCI Banks to be recomissioned. Real Crime also improved on ITV's 10:35pm slot average which has been doing terribly of late, with many shows rating below the million mark or just about there.
Good for C5 between 8-10pm, and as usual, The Inbetweeners held up superbly. Strong start for Mike & Molly too compared to the channel slot average.

It actually had the worst AI when Dan & Kate hosted on Wednesday, although it could've just been a natural fluctuation. Certainly there was no sign of an AI uplift when they hosted. And for once, Daybreak wasn't the worst AI-rated programme of the week... that title goes to Trinny And Susannah: From Boom To Bust which only had 58!
