High ratings for The Plane Crash, crashed the number crunching machine!

Would love to see the demos for that.

Channel 4's #ThePlaneCrash won the 9pm slot last night attracting an audience of 3.5m/ 16% http://ow.ly/eqgze
Hunted must have dropped a lot

Blimey! As you say how badly must Hunted and come to think of it Homefront must've done at 9pm!?!
From Media Guardian:
Thursday TV ratings: The Plane Crash 3.5m/16.1%, Hunted 3.4m/15.1%, Homefront 2.7m/12%, The Choir 2.6m/11.4%, Making Faces 0.7m/3.3%
Thursday TV ratings: The Plane Crash 3.5m/16.1%, Hunted 3.4m/15.1%, Homefront 2.7m/12%, The Choir 2.6m/11.4%, Making Faces 0.7m/3.3%
Great rating for Plane Crash. Called something correctly for once.
Hunted looks to be in trouble now. Disappointing for sure that BBC One and ITV1 could barely muster 6m between them for first run dramas on a miserable autumnal evening.

Odd to see Homefront improve week-on-week, possibly suggesting that the football hurt it last week. Great figure for The Plane Crash.

You said it. All of that Olympic promotion for BBC1 dramas and none of them have benefited as yet. And ITV is also very hit and miss. Disappointing for both main channels.

Not that 9pm drama rates well with a Corrie lead-in half the time. At least this has proved that midweek pre-watershed entertainment can work, thanks to them actually using a cushy slot to try it out, instead of shoving a crap quiz opposite Holby and then saying "well, we tried it...". There should be more of this kind of thing if only because it helped liven up the schedules and creates more variety week by week.

Well, up until 1984, both channels showed the teatime news at the same time, with BBC1 at 5.40 and ITV at 5.45, and it was said that the one advantage of the BBC news starting at that rather odd time is that it was five minutes before ITV. When they launched the Six O'Clock News there was an interview with Sue Lawley in the Radio Times where she said it was a sensible move because it was a consistent and memorable time, so clearly Sue had never watched Willo The Wisp. When they moved the news to six, for the first year they seemed to have trouble deciding what was going at 5.30 so you got CBBC going on to six o'clock some days - like the last series of Crackerjack and Grange Hill in 1985 which was shown at 5.35 - but then for a bit you had Star Trek at 5.10. In the autumn of 1985 they appeared to have decided kids telly officially ended at 5.35, to coincide with the arrival of the Broom Cupboard.
Before the arrival of Neighbours the BBC1 5.35 slot was a right brantub, like ITV, but shows like Masterteam were very popular, In the One Day In The Life Of Television, a load of ITV people complain about the Beeb because the arrival of Neighbours has hit the audience of the 5.45 news and given the regional news a crappy lead-in, the editor of Granada Reports saying he "hated" the BBC, especially when they signed up Anna Ford to read the Six O'Clock News which he considered a highly aggressive move. Which makes him sound a bit of a paranoid hypocrite, to be honest.
Bit naughty of C4 Press, Plane Crash was only a slot winner including +1. Worrying for Hunted though, down nearly a quarter on its 4.5m debut last week. I wonder if Red Dwarf held up.

I have roughly 1.2m for Red Dwarf

Midweek variety used to work well. Des O'Connor Tonight was a Wednesday staple for years on ITV. Some of ITV's Tuesday quizzes might have worked on Wednesdays.

Masterteam and Fax (hosted by Bill Oddie and others), are two early evening shows I remember on BBC1 before Neighbours came along. I think they led into Nationwide/Sixty Minutes.

Thanks. Is that exc +1? It had 1.46m last week exc +1, according to DS, so quite a hefty fall in any event. It wasnt a brilliant opener IMO.
Very poor night for drama on BBC1 and ITV1 to only get a combined 27% share. C4 and BBC2 combined actually matched the big 2 at 9pm. Good ratings for both, particularly The Plane Crash.
How long are BBC1 stuck with Hunted? Because that's a fairly ominous decline for one week.

I wouldn't say, for a multichannel, that it is a hefty fall. It's still brilliant figures whichever way you look at it for Dave.
Bad ratings for BBC1 and ITV1 at 9pm.

Yes excluding +1. +1 ads very little anyway.
40% of the audience was 16-34 & 50% ABC1 Adult though so good demos

That's a great figure for the show and hardly down on episode 1. Thanks for letting us know.

Oh it's still a great figure for Dave, but it's down at least 15% for ep 2. OK it's not all that bad, considering the C4 surge. I might be influenced by the fact that I didn't like the premiere much!
Fantastic rating for The Plane Crash, I'd imagine it got great demos too.
Hunted got the ratings it deserves, complete rubbish. Noone wants to watch a poor actress quiver their bottom lip for an hour every week no matter how hot they are.
I don't understand why neither BBC1 or ITV do a good proper thriller drama a la Homeland or the Scandinavian thrillers. The key is good writing and direction. A glossy production in no way makes up for shoddy script and acting.

I think the opener did enough to get people back for more. When you consider Cuckoo on BBC3 started with over 1m and is now at half a million Red Dwarf is holding up well.

That's excellent news of them. How did Channel 4's documentary do in terms of ABC1 and 16-34 viewers?
