This is another issue. With SO many repeats on ITV1 recently of the older movies, they must have taken their toll as well and contributed to that awful rating.
With HP dominating primetime it looks like ITV1 recorded a poor primetime share at or below 12% for last night. Bad start to 2012 for them.

I think it was just too long and had the worst competition, maybe viewers have had enough of Harry for now, wasn't the premiere of the final film on Sky Movies (Box Office) last night also?

Yes, and cue Robbie's fake shock at it achieving more that the 2 viewers he predicted...
I am personally pleased it achieved good figures. I enjoyed the first series, and have been looking forward to more. Looks good for a series 3 if this continues...

Only part 1. Part 2 hasn't been on DVD/Bluray for long so it probably won't hit Sky Movies until next Christmas maybe.
So Robbie's tongue-in-cheek prediction of the Harry Potter premier rating lower than the POTC repeat of New Year's Eve proved to be right.

If it doesn't affect the RPG overall leaderboard too much simply toss a coin, I went for 8.5m, so I ought score a 6 either way.

In truth it doesn't. The scores for the top 3 are going to be the same whether it's 8.7 or 8.8. But I'm a stickler for accuracy. I'll probably kick myself more if I was only 0.1m out though.

Of course, I watched pt.1 on blu-ray recently, hoping to see the finale pretty soon. ITV1 in hindsight ought to have shown some light entertainment, thought most things would have got crushed it seems.

Part one is currently on regular Sky Movies, and part two is on Sky Box Office (PPV).
Three to six months from Sky Box Office > Sky Movies.
at Harry Potter! I know the competition was tough but I wasn't expecting it to be that low. That is absolutely dismal. The next repeat screening could rate really well if ITV schedule it nicely because it rated so poorly last night.

Could well have done, yeah. The OOTP repeat got a pretty similar rating against the SCD Final so clearly many weren't aware it was a premiere - I don't think ITV advertised it at all (too busy shoving Eternal Law down everyone's throats). Looks like HP and EE and particularly HP and Sherlock have a large crossover audience, and when it's a contest of new content versus a film people have on DVD, there can only be one winner. That's why film premieres are always most vulnerable against tough competition I think.
ITV need to lay off the Potter films for a while now (I notice Philosopher's Stone is on again this afternoon), probably until next Christmas, when HBP can be given a nice repeat slot where it can pick up lots of viewers.
Strong rating for EE, but I did think it could have managed 10m+, especially as Potter turned out to be such weak competition. Sky1 did very well all evening but Sherlock is still the stand out rating for me.

Yes, I knew someone mentioned it recently. Harry Potter is great entertainment, but in moderation. Today at 3.55pm, ITV1 is showing - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (the 1st episode) - 19 hours after showing episode 6....scheduling madness! If Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull repeats well tonight - Robbie will be speechless if it beats what HP got last night.
These ratings make me wonder whether DOI and WAH may struggle against Sherlock more than expected... Although of course Sherlock did have a huge lead-in last night from a quite frankly superb episode of Eastenders (what a shame it didn't break 10m average, even if the peak was very good).

At least they got through a Christmas without showing Love Actually once. I think that's worthy of some credit.

Harry Potter died on its arse!
That's the rating you usually see for a repeat. Very shocked.
Very pleased for Sherlock though and it could hit 10m in the finals.

Did they air it on ITV2 at all? If they didn't then they must have lost the rights to it as I can't imagine them not showing it if they could.
What makes the Potter rating more perplexing is that OOTP got 3.4m for its FOURTH primetime screening against the SCD Final two weeks ago, so I had expected a premiere to be more resilient. I wonder how long it'll be before it gets another outing.

Next Sunday's ratings will be interesting to see.
CountryFile and Antiques Roadshow against Dancing On Ice
Sherlock against Wild At Heart and DOI Results.
I wonder if Christine Bleakley will damage DOI's ratings. My mum usually watches it but she cannot stand Christine, so she might yet pack it in.
And Sherlock last night should timeshift to over 10m. Plus it's currently number 1 on iPlayer ahead of Eastenders.

It's going to be really interesting to see how DOI and WAH are affected as they'll be facing the toughest competition they've ever faced. Not only with Sherlock, but also with the Sunday episodes of Countryfile recently hitting some of their highest levels and generally up from its ratings a year ago. I also notice DOI has been trailed less this year- 2 weeks of promotion rather than the 3 weeks it had last year and for some reason I don't think they've even revealed the celebrity lineup yet even though it's normally revealed before Christmas Day. So I think the DOI launch show will be more like in the 8s rather than low 9s which it got last time. The last two Wild at Heart premieres have had 7.1m and 7.9m, with the tough competition this time you'd expect it to come in towards that lower end of the range. The DOI results show last year had 7.4m against Aurelio Zen which had about 4.6m, so it may well fall against a show like Sherlock capable of 7m+.

Certainly disappointing to be below 10 million, it deserved to be 10m plus
Having seen that rating I'm curious about the BBC3 repeat, I had thought the late repeat slot, and late finish, would have rated poorly, but maybe not now I've seen the BBC1 figure

Yes, the report mentions the programme but not the rating.
