^ It amazes me at how popular repeats of this show are, especially on Saturdays! Last Saturday must have been one of Ch4's best rating in ages.

See my last post. I'm not sure it was even a repeat!

I feel sorry for anyone who's partner has this show on series link.

Yes the BBC will have coverage once again. It's a bit odd that C4 have nothing to do with the Superbowl though given they have the regular NFL coverage. It is my understanding that the BBC contract is coming to an end (might be the last year actually) so maybe C4 will take it over thereafter.
Already this year the BBC has had coverage of World Darts, World Bowls, Masters Snooker and Australian Open Tennis as well as the usual Football stuff. Not all banner waving events but quite a collection given we havent ended January yet.

...shocking that Ch4 are producing so much new content in one week..I guess the teatime figures are showing viewers want it though as they seem to do better than the primetime showings, probably a perfect teatime watch actually.

Did Channel 4 really show over 6 hours of new Come Dine With Me in a single week?
Would any of us be surprised if they did?

Broadcast has Top Gear's rating as 6.25m. This includes the HD rating.

From Broadcast:

Top Gear returns with 6.25m

SUNDAY: The new series of Top Gear revved into action in front of more than 6m viewers across BBC2 and BBC HD - just 2,000 viewers behind BBC1 drama Lark Rise to Candleford.

The motoring show, presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, shot off the starting line with an audience of 5.5m (18.2%) on BBC2 over the 8pm hour.

An additional 753,700 (2.49%) watched the first instalment of the 16th series on BBC HD, which including dropping a Volkswagen Beetle from a helicopter, according to overnight Barb figures supplied by Attentional.

An interesting fact (caution: may not be interesting) is that the Superbowl has been on all five terrestrial channels, which I think is the only sporting event to have done so. It was on C4 for many years, of course, from 1983 to 1998, then after that it was on Sky exclusively for a bit with highlights on C5, before C5 showed it live in 2003 and 2004. ITV got it in 2005 - after they lost the Premier League and were buying up anything that wasn't nailed down, they bought the Boat Race at the same time - and then it moved to the Beeb in, I think, 2008, first on BBC2 and then on BBC1.

The fact the Superbowl is on the Beeb isn't that unusual - C4's NFL coverage only started this season, and the Superbowl rights are sold separately. In fact NFL in the UK is on four channels, the Beeb, C4, Sky and ESPN, which I think is partly because the NFL want more exposure in the UK so give it away for peanuts.

Over twelve million viewers over the two main BBC channels presumably pulling different age ranges is quite a challenge to all competitiors in that slot.

lol-that warning should surely be adopted by every element of media -it would certainly save alot of time and potential anguish.

For the second week running almost a million people who watched DOI didn't bother to come back for the results show. And a good figure for Wogan - does anyone know if RTE are showing this as well ?

BBC3 must be very disappointed with that figure for Being Human given all the publicity it's had. Isn't it lower than S2?

In contrast, Wogan performed better than I thought it would and got some good reviews this morning.

DOI - what more can I say.

Thanks for the ratings.

Not sure. Last year's 7-day official figure for the S2 opener was only 1.61m so it may not be too far off?

Ah, perhaps they're not allowed to stay up for the results so a bit pointless to watch the programme

Yeah, according to rzt a few pages back, last years opener hit 1.4m too. On the face of it, decent but a little underwhelming as there was no drama competition and promotion had been good again. Didn't seem to timeshift much last year though, in comparison to what multichannels usually manage - so we'll see whether this year could yet top it. Still by far and away BBC Three's most popular scripted original though - so shouldn't get too down on it!

I watched last night and loved it, as usual, but it did strike me that its still a pretty niche old offering. Any show that sends two of its main characters (one of which is a mass murderer) lurking round pugatory is probably never going to achieve mass popularity. And thats to say nothing of the cage fighting...

--

On the main channels last night, well still very strong for both BBC One and ITV1. Very strong for Top Gear with a sizeable chunk of that audience taking the HD option now. And TG can usually help a solid 9pm offering past the 3m mark, as it did in this case. Incidentally, what did BBC HD run at 9pm - Bruce Parry or Being Human?

as I understand it NFL deliberately want coverage of Superbowl on terrestrial channels, so as to "help grow the game in UK". This started when ITV first had rights, so I guess it'll be on the main 5 channels for the foreseeable future

BARB hasn't classified ITV1 +1 at the top of its schedule alongside C4 + 1.

C4 + 1 has never been included in the Other viewing total and ITV1 + 1 should be treated the same for consistency.

Having said that it looks like a mess has been made of the whole thing as the Other total of 42.8 does not add up.

http://www.barb.co.uk/report/weeklyViewing?_s=4

The main C4 is also missing off the summary on the front page.

http://www.barb.co.uk/index/index

EDIT:

Graph also not updated for C4:
