Official ratings with a roundup by me? The ratings by me are taken/sourced as it clearly says from the various websites.

They are still overnight ratings, they are not official ratings.

BBC were good last night, but it was annoying they were showing a vt when Ennis was introduced to the crowd before the 800 metres should have been one of the big moments.

3.5 million and 32.8% share? I take it not a lot of people were watching TV yesterday then.

Well, overnight ratings then. I keep getting the two mixed up

Yeah I know, only 17m people saw Farrah win gold.

So maybe my thoughts of last night beating tonight might be true?!

Presumably, that BBC3 peak wasn't during the footie?

K

And I'm guessing that must have been a share of about 70-80%.

@rogermosey: More #BBC2012 Saturday TV stats. Apart from Mo's 17.1m: @GregJRutherford 15.6m; women's team pursuit 9.2m; rowing 6.4m; 3.5m peak on BBC3.

Great for the team pursuit - that was at 6pm. Rowing peak would of been sometime between 11.30 and 12.30.

The share suggests that the 3.5m peak was during the day, whatever BBC Three were showing yesterday afternoon may have won it's slot.

Also, the 17m peak will be about ~65% to 70%, one has to assume ~2m were watching the football on BBC Three as well.

Also, here is the BBC One top 15/20 from last Monday to Thursday to give an idea of what it will look like when BARB updates a week tomorrow:

7.58m (33%) - Olympics 2012 (THU 1900)

5.70m (27%) - BBC News at Ten (THU 2200)
5.60m (41%) - Olympics 2012 (WED 1600)

Huge numbers for the team pursuit and the rowing!

Some of you have been asking when the medal ceremonies are for Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford. Rutherford’s is at 18:50 and Farah’s at 20:05.
10:47 AM - 5 Aug 12

Great move to have them both in primetime, and rightfully so.

Probably the end of the Murray/Robson match at 5.30.

Fantastic numbers! I was fortunate enough to be in the stadium last night and it was craaaaazzyyyyy! I had never been to a stadium before and I didn't know what to expect but seeing Team GB win three golds right infront of me was something i'll never forget! I had such a great time last night and glad everyone at home enjoyed it too!

I think 2012 has been a great year for ratings! Jubilee Concert, Euro 2012, Murray at Wimbledon, Olympics! We've seen quite a few 17m figures haven't we? We still have XF and SCD to come!

@bbcpress Mo Farrah's gold in the 10,000m seen by peak of 17.1m/63.5% share (#BBC1: 16m/59.4%, #Olympics 1: 1.1m/4.1%) #london2012 #bbc2012

Definitely a great year, especially this decade. Still don't think anything apart from if England reach the World Cup final can reach the peak/average figures of the opening ceremony.

From Sam Hodges:

Greg #Rutherford’s final leap in the Long Jump was seen by peak of 15.6m (#BBC1: 14.5m, #Olympics 1: 1.1m)

Jessica #Ennis' gold in the heptathlon seen by peak of 16.3m/62.5% (#BBC1: 15.2m/58.2%, #Olympics 1: 1.1m/4.3)

Mo #Farrah's gold in the 10,000m seen by huge peak of 17.1m/63.5% share (#BBC1: 16m/59.4%, #Olympics 1: 1.1m/4.1%)

27 million watching TV when Farrah took gold last night.

And 17m watched last night. What were you saying about not setting the ratings on fire? What was that? Eh? Eh? Eh?


But the thing is yesterday Team GB won big and that fuels interest. Ratings are linked to a successful team and I was thinking that if Team GB lost more medals people would tune out. The thing that works in their favour is that they've been making some finals so people will tune in and watch those events because of British interest. As long as there is a British person in a final it'll do well.

I do think that Team GB should be nearer 20 golds had a few things going their way. Silver and bronze are good but they winners of those medals don't get stamps. Very few competitions give prizes for second or third. It's all about gold.

The RTS rotates between BBC, ITV and Sky to keep everyone happy - can't remember whose year it is this year.

There's nothing to be ashamed about in not being to a stadium before. What a day you picked to go for the very first time. You can say you were there. As for the ratings BARB goes for show averages rather than peaks and the average for the evening show was 12m. So I can see Strictly and The X Factor alone beating that figure with their respective finals. I can see the closing ceremony being big and getting at least 17m and joining that list of top rating shows of the year.

What a year it's been for British TV ratings.

The Top 10 for this year is just amazing so far. I'm blown away. As a nation we love our TV, do any other countries compare to the levels of viewership in proportion to the population size?

D.M.N. would you be able to get a five minute breakdown from 18:50-22:30 from last night?

^Nope, afraid not.

For the equivalent BBC One timeslots above, these were the BBC Three numbers, using the equivalent timeslots so I can write the shares:

BBC Three
06:00 to 08:45 - 152k (4.4%)
08:45 to 11:15 - 1.06m (11.5%)
11:15 to 13:00 - 2.09m (15.3%)
13:00 to 13:15 - 3.48m (27.2%) - also channel 15-minute peak
13:15 to 17:00 - 1.30m (10.2%)
17:00 to 17:15 - 2.21m (14.2%)
17:15 to 18:45 - 1.34m (7.4%)
18:45 to 22:30 - 1.42m (6.0%)
22:30 to 23:00 - 1.64m (7.8%)

And a BBC Three primetime, 15-minute breakdown:

18:00 - 619k (3.3%)
18:15 - 488k (2.5%)
18:30 - 1.33m (6.9%)
18:45 - 2.07m (10.5%)
19:00 - 863k (4.3%)
19:15 - 819k (3.9%)
19:30 - 1.41m (6.5%)
19:45 - 1.71m (7.7%)
20:00 - 1.82m (8.0%)
20:15 - 1.37m (5.9%)
20:30 - 1.29m (5.4%)
20:45 - 1.48m (6.0%)
21:00 - 1.19m (4.5%)
21:15 - 1.45m (5.6%)
21:30 - 1.39m (5.2%)
21:45 - 1.39m (5.2%)
22:00 - 2.41m (9.4%)
22:15 - 624k (2.6%)
22:30 - 2.41m (11.2%)
22:45 - 867k (4.7%)
23:00 - 496k (3.3%)
23:15 - 524k (4.0%)
23:30 - 385k (3.3%)
23:45 - 334k (3.3%)
24:00 - 499k (5.7%)
24:15 - 662k (9.0%)
24:30 - 629k (10.6%)
24:45 - 507k (9.6%)
25:00 - 476k (10.4%)

Combined BBC1 and BBC3 15-minute peak therefore was 16.8m (62.4%) at 22:00

Before that, the hourly breakdown was:

09:00 - 268k
10:00 - 1.75m
11:00 - 2.18m
12:00 - 2.08m
13:00 - 2.23m
14:00 - 1.23m
15:00 - 1.06m
16:00 - 1.24m
17:00 - 1.96m

So a fantastic day for BBC Three.

14.7 million watched Jessica Ennis win last night, excellent, as I thought the football would have held it back to 12 million. This year has been fantastic for ratings, although this has been helped by the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics.

I am amused by the stubborn 2m that will watch Midsommer come what may.
