Not really as if you're including iPlayer then you need to include BGT's ITV1 and ITV2 repeats. So BGT comes out on top overall.

i wonder how many people turned over after The Voice to watch The Masters (either Sky Sports or BBC2), which of course is for one week only.
That might explain why BGT ratings are down on the night. |

Well that's a little bit unexpected. The BBC must be over the moon right now. Forget that the show beat Britain's Got Talent excluding +1 and that Talent only just pulled ahead including +1 the fact that The Voice was up again and over the Easter weekend is incredibly impressive.

Different channel, iplayer is a hub for multiple channels but still representative of them.
Just like +1 ![]() Oh no...its started! ![]() As people have spent the previous 2 Sundays trying to present a million strong BGT victory as a draw it's probably fair to say that a 100k Voice victory (that +1 overturns) is a draw too.

There will have been families last night where the golf fan had control of the remote because it was live sport. BGT can be watched at any time without spoiling the result, and many will watch it today or tomorrow on PVR (and skip the ads). I think the golf finished around midnight so they would have been hard pressed to fit in a viewing of BGT before 2am. |

What I find interesting is the number of people watching BGT on ITV1+1 - ie not many! In last weeks official stats, it's #3 on the main channel, #1 on the HD channel and nowhere to be seen on +1!

A bizarre ad break choice from ITV1 - they've just gone to one. Which only 3m will watch as everyone else will dive across to catch the end of The Voice.
The gap should be bigger than last week because of it. |

I've tweeted Mr Cowell btw, to congratulate him on having the 2nd biggest Saturday night show of the spring, to add to his #2 Saturday night show of the autumn. Will let you know if he replies....

I think it does a great disservice to the people in the BBC's PR and scheduling departments to pretend that they just put their little show out with no concern for anyone else and were cruelly set upon by big bad ITV. Not to mention the hard work of the judges on The Voice who have done stellar work in coming up with ways to work X Factor, Got Talent and Simon Cowell into just about every interview they've done since the show was announced!
![]() The scheduling has been a triumph too. What ITV should be worried about now is that The Voice UK's ratings last three weeks show that it can more than hold its own against BGT when head to head. The BBC has already extended the battle shows to 8.30pm in a couple of weeks' time, they will now not hesitate in extending the live shows to 9pm. You have to say, Beeb has played this one brilliantly. I expect loads of articles throughout the week about The Voice's triumph and therell be a few readers who have never seen the show thinking to themselves "oh i aint seen this yet, i gotta check it out" helping the ratings to go up once again next week. |

Elisa Roche So The Voice higher for it than last week.The gap between the two Sat night TV titans is closing in. #TheVoiceUk boasted 10m viewers (v 6.2m on #BGT )during the 20 minute overlap Wouldn't have hurt the average! |

BBC Pr done a fabulous job with The Voice. They have projected a strong 'anti-XF' brand, its all about the voice, the show doesnt ridicule people, its judged by actual singers, the contestants are not joke acts etc. Some people say thats not true but 99% of viewers have bought into it and the publicity machine has been in fifth gear ever since launch, with loads of interviews in The One Show on radio on BBC Breakfast. This is is a very polished operation from the PR department.
The scheduling has been a triumph too. What ITV should be worried about now is that The Voice UK's ratings last three weeks show that it can more than hold its own against BGT when head to head. The BBC has already extended the battle shows to 8.30pm in a couple of weeks' time, they will now not hesitate in extending the live shows to 9pm.

I expect loads of articles throughout the week about The Voice's triumph and therell be a few readers who have never seen the show thinking to themselves "oh i aint seen this yet, i gotta check it out" helping the ratings to go up once again next week. Parallel to that ITV's dirty tactics such as their attempts to rubbish The Voice on Daybreak in the week represented a new low for the broadcaster. Sour grapes sprang to mind. But Daybreak's pitifully low audience figures ensured this bias was not exposed to anyone but hardcore ITV viewers who wouldn't watch anything else anyway. I do feel the momentum is with The Voice now, but the battle stages could throw a spanner in the works so we'll see what happens. |

Fantastic for The Voice. Cannot wait to see how ITV try to spin this. They spent all last Monday's Daybreak and This Morning saying how BGT got higher ratings than The Voice and more or less implied The Voice was flopping!

Super rating for The Voice, we can debate whether it beat Britain's Got Talent or not, but the fact that we're having this debate three episodes in says something. Three episodes and The Voice is already level with Britain's Got Talent. Whether it will be like that, next week, who knows. I also find Britain's Got Talent's ratings odd.
Why is it the ratings are higher when the percentage it clashes with The Voice is higher? - 24/03 - 9.43m (39.2%) -> 25% clashed with The Voice - 31/03 - 10.28m (41.3%) -> 31% clashed with The Voice - 07/04 - 9.4m -> 27% clashed with The Voice Doesn't make sense, both of its poorer ratings have been for the longer rated episodes, ie. those that have clashed with The Voice for a lesser amount of time. Also: Britain's Got Talent Audience peak of 11.9m for #BGT; averaged 9.6m across the show (inc+1) <- (Many of whom tweeted they HAD been "in that situation.") 10:11 AM - 8 Apr 12 Nice try, but it was ITV that orchestrated the clash with The Voice. We wouldn't be having this discussion if BGT began at 20:20. Last night, its average from 20:20 to 21:15 was ~10.6 million. |

The head-to-head gap (3.7m) was probably bigger than usual because ITV1 had 2 sets of ad breaks in the first 20 minutes of BGT last night (20.00-20.03 and 20.13-20.17) which dragged down the average. In the previous two episodes, there was just one set of ad breaks in the first 20-minutes to drag down the average. The interesting thing with The Voice is that if the final 20-minutes hadn't been up against BGT, it'd have probably averaged about 9.7m overall and peaked at 11m! It really is a beast and has built itself up to a position now, that even if it loses viewers during the battle/live stages of the show (like what's happened in other countries), it'll still be pulling in high numbers. I'm not so sure it'll lose many viewers anyway, especially as one of the battle round episodes is on a Sunday when total TV viewing is normally even higher than Saturdays. Quote:

![]() Because of clash, couldn't record BGT, so searched Digiguide and found today's early afternoon showing which will be recorded to view this evening, before the golf starts. |

Just noticed the BGT rerun on ITV2 is on really early this week (4.15pm). That won't help matters. The Voice reruns at the usual time of 7pm, which incidentally is also when the Formula 1 highlights used to go out on BBC Three, but we won't go there!

#TheVoiceUK averages 9.5m/41.1% share - the highest rating show on any channel yesterday #BBC1
#TheVoiceUK peaks at 10.7m As well as a show average of 9.5m, #TheVoiceUK averaged 10m between 8/8.20pm; over 3.7m more than any other channel. Last night's peaks - 10.7 million for #thevoiceuk versus 11.3 million for #bgt. Narrows the gap quite some way. #thevoiceuk actually BEAT #BGT for average audience. 9.54m watched it compared to 9.43m (tape-checked and exc +1) for BGT. Margin between The Voice UK (9.54m and 10.68m peak)) and Britain's Got Talent (9.62m and 11.85m peak - full slot & inc +1) narrows. Still both TV giants. #LemonAid debuts with 3.4m (with +1). Very close #BGT vs #TheVoiceUK Sources: Sam Hodges, Colin Robertson, Chris Aylott, John Williams |
