Nice little boost for Silent Witness' overnights in the morning!

#Sam Hodges: #Silent Witness peaks with 10m, beating every single tv channel on Planet Earth (excludes +1)

That is really high for The Voice and they are only in week 2! Nine really did come out fighting with this one. Beaconsfield did brilliant as well. Seven and Ten must be kicking themselves right now.

The farmers need to see the Weather For The Week Ahead.


Reading about this on Wikipedia, I don't see this doing any better than any of the other routine quiz shows we see on Saturday night. 4m something at best.

Nearly right. It's about 5,000.

Confused.


In the officials, BGT isn't in ITV1+1 top ten (bottom place 49k)


In the officials BGT once again not in ITV1+1's top ten (bottom place 86k).

When you add the overnight +1 figures to the official ITV1 and ITV1 HD ones, BGT is 2m ahead of The Voice.

Mar 25, BGT 11.438m, TV 9.439m
Mar 31, BGT 12.085m, TV 9.929m

No HD figures for Apr 7.

rzt pointed out that the ITV1+1 officials are screwed (when I asked the same question in the earlier thread) and should get revised in the "6-week" cycle.

Not quite - the total audience level would have stayed the same, the switchover just means that the audience maybe slightly more spread out.:

The Voice's Slot
Last Week: 23.5m
This Week: 23.4m
=> drop of 0.1m total audience*, drop of 0.79m for The Voice

BGT's Slot
Last Week: 25.4m
This Week: 24.9m
=> drop of 0.5m total audience*, drop of 0.52m for BGT

* within the margin of error due to all the rounding


I think trickytree1979 noted a few weeks ago that there were some issues with ITV1+1's overnights in that BARB were not getting all the program data off ITV.

Thanks.

Bottom line is, more viewers watch BGT than The Voice and more viewers watch The Voice than the ad breaks in BGT.

11.3m peak for The Voice. 6.1m average for Silent Witness.

The Voice UK 10.1m -peak 11.3m, 8-9pm 10.58m
Silent Witness 6.1m
London Marathon average 3.1m, peak 4m.
#FI Grand Prix highlights 3.6m, Peak 4.1m

Agent F has Vera >>>

“@Jake_Kanter: Vera has fallen victim to #TheVoiceUK. The drama averaged 4.32m from 8pm-9pm, while BBC1’s talent show got 10.58m viewers at the same time.”

Not really 'fell victim', I bet its one of the only show besides BGT to have got over 4m against The Voice.

Vera really should have done better than 4.3m, when you think how resilient BBC1's "older Sunday" fare has done against TXF, DOI etc - eg, Call the Midwife, Lark Rise, George Gently, Garrow's Law, Antiques Roadshow...

I wonder if the current SW 2-parter proves more viewer-friendly than last weeks?

Indeed. The whole episode averaged 4.8m (inc +1) which considering it started midway through The Voice and then faced Silent Witness really isn't bad.

Voice did well, although it was below my expectations. Really surprised Silent Witness dropped week on week despite an 11m+ lead-in and Voice overrun.

Consideing how Antiques Roadshow and George Gently etc perform against The X Factor it was very poor indeed.


Mmnn The Voice got 10.6m between 8-9. You were spinning 11m figures for The X factor results last Autumn in the middle of Winter as still great
But a 4 week old show getting those figures is now below your expectations right... no agenda there

I think there is a bit of a difference between Harry hill repeats/ Cheap family Fortunes and an expensive Drama starring Brenda Blethyn. No?

Those shows had 5-6m lead-ins though which Vera won't have had. It was only about 0.5-1m below those shows anyway.


Of course it did well, that's why I started with 'Voice did well'. However the fact that it was -0.6m down on last week despite a later slot and airing on Sunday not Saturday puts it below my expectations. The Sunday slot alone should have added 0.5-1m.

As for X Factor, I consistently said the ratings were still good but down a lot year on year, which was true. No 'spinning', which you'd realise if you checked your facts before you rolled your eyes.

Jake lyle, why do you always roll your eyes at other posters in every post you make? Its rude and patronising. The Voice adapted well to its new slot, it is a little bit lower than last weeks rating but 10.1m for a month old show is fab. Vera, well i think Itv would want 5m for their dramas. What was it getting last year?

Bit unfair Robbie, Vera never had such a high audience if I remember rightly, and 4.3 is akin to how BBC does on Saturdays.

Also DOI, is not the voice as well you know I think.

Its a waste in that slot, but a decent rating I suppose.


After weeks of being let down, I didn't watch it last night.
We'll see how it does tomorrow, if its down again then they need to move to weekly episodes (like Luthers second series did)


Good to see The Voice do well. I think its audience will now just fall on either side of that 10m mark, staying pretty resilient,

I revised my predictions down last night, expecting people not to really know its on kind of thing?

X Factor doesn't just find miraculous viewers on a Sunday, its that many people planning to watch it are in on a sunday.

If you're a fan of the show I'd give last night's a watch - easily the strongest story of current series and a real return to form - not to say they might not cock it up tonight!

Nice rating for MOTD2.


Vera did alright, but I think ITV will have been hoping for more. When The Voice settles into its 7:30pm-8:00pm slot then Vera should pick up.


I assume this was moved to avoid The Voice but unfortunately it does seem to have taken a dip in the ratings. At this sort of level though it is still a good show for Channel 5.

lets be honest, those 3 minutes will mean very little to the start of a show like BGT.
