IMO Torchwood wasn't a flop, certainly it wasn't as good s season 3 in terms of quality or viewers, but it had better viewing figures than the 1st and 2nd series, and was as good as both those series.
And Happy New Year everyone! |

Wow! On first sight that looks a good ~1m higher than previous years?
The average most likely was about c11m, and the officials once BBC Scotland's audience is taken out will probably be about 10m. |

Jools' Annual Hootenanny (BBC2) drew 2.82m (19.84%) including HD.
Last year's edition had 3.1m. Sam_Hodges Sam Hodges #BBC1's average all day share of 22.3% was over twice that of any other channel. |

New Year Live drew an average audience of 10.92m (55.63%) From Broadcast: Quote:
Broadcast from the banks of London’s River Thames, the audience rocketed to 12.43m (60.68%) in the five minutes from midnight. I think in the officials, which'll be around 10m (once factoring out BBC Scotland), it'll slot in at 16th place for 2011.
As a spectacular 10-minute firework display illuminated Big Ben and the London Eye, the audience peaked at 12.82m (64.39%) in the five minutes from 12.05am. It was the biggest audience since at least 2006 (as far back as available figures stretch). Last year’s celebrations were seen by 10.25m (52.5%), drawing 11.18m (55.3%) at midnight. On BBC2, Jools’ Annual Hootenanny drew 2.64m (18.6%) from 11.15pm to 1.35am - pulling a further 176,000 (1.24%) on its BBC HD simulcast. It could not match last year’s 3.13m (20.2%) / 141k (0.9%) HD, and was its lowest overnights since 2008. Elsewhere at the time, ITV News and Weather was watched by 1.66m (8.66%) from 11.45pm to 12.05am across ITV1 and ITV1 HD. Another 38,500 (0.36%) watched later on time-shifted ITV1+1. Channel 4 aired clip show Rude Tube from 11.35pm to 12.40pm, drawing 674k (3.95%) / 103k (1.1%). Channel 5 dusted off Frankie Howerd comedy Up the Front from 10.40pm to 12.25am, amusing 263k (1.5%) / 5k (0.04%) +1. |

The audience peaking at 00:05 is slightly unusual. Although the average will definitely be in the Top 20, thus knocking Scott & Bailey out.

I wonder how Lee Mack did! Quote:

Too be fair it was only on for 20-25 minutes to see in the new year watch the fireworks and then leave again.
And how is that different to 2009 and 2010? Its peak is up 1.6m year on year.

Between the fireworks on BBC 1, and Jools’ Annual Hootenanny on BBC 2, the other channels might as well just air a digital clock countdown to 2012.

Thanks dubsj.
![]() Good night for BBC One while It'll be Alright on the Night did solid for ITV. Not so good for The Cube, lowest ever rating there, and after Westlife's first showing, I didn't expect much for the second showing. Alan Carr did very well for Channel 4. |

Great peak for the fireworks.
The fireworks themselves were pretty spectacular. That must have been a LOT of money! Maybe the higher than usual peak because it might be the last ever time we will see it... sorry unwelcome Doomsday theories

Also anything for World's Strongest Man or the Magic countdown on C5 please. Considering the poor late film rating, I'm wondering if these two shows rated poorly as well

Saturday 31st December 12:00 Ice Road Truckers: 440k (4.4%) 12:55 Ben-Hur: 540k (4.3%) 16:35 Movie Premiere: 21: 774k (4.1%) 19:00 World's Strongest Man 2011 - 5/6: 1.04m (5.2%) 20:00 TV's 50 Greatest Magic Tricks: 1.02m (5.3%) *5 minute peak: 1.39m (7.5%) at 22:35. Nothing special but a lot better than a typical Saturday for them (unlike another commercial broadcaster I could mention) so they'll be happy with that. Up The Front was a bizarre bit of scheduling though that will have cost them a bit share wise, luckily it was mostly out of primetime hours. |

Glad Jools held up well compared to last year. Okay, so the guests were not as good as previous ones, but it's still by a country mile the best TV show to watch to see in the New Year for those staying in. It's also about the only time in the year we ever use the Picture in Picture feature of our Freeview box to keep an eye on the London fireworks too!

Stunning rating and peak for NYL, though I expected it to be slightly up as the Olympic Year fireworks were promised to be a bit special - and they certainly delivered on that! What a fantastic display to the world. Well done Boris. Great night for BBC1, surprisingly, as I expected ITV's line up to outdo the cheap and lazy Pirates repeat on BBC1. To see first run shows trounced by a film repeat is a major turn-up; I certainly expected better from The Cube and "Alright 2" (as they dubbed it, though it must be about Alright 27 in reality). Good for Jools, given the larger audience for BBC1, and the much later than normal 1.35am finish - which surely was always going to drive down the average. Quote:

At 25 minutes it contained enough padding as it was! |

The 56% average share and 64% peak share for NYL are, of course, stunning, but how do these compare with previous years?
I would assume that only the BBC Royal Wedding coverage surpassed these eye-popping numbers in 2011? (The X Factor Finals were presumably miles off this year?) |
