worth noting that Mr Selfridge is not yet a total flop, and if it preforms well on PBS, it will very easily see a second series.

Ripper aside a very strong night for the BBC, with the whole schedule preforming well, shame Ripper wasn't more like 6.3m just to round off a good night.
More worrying is that Splash is rating nearly as well as Mr Selfridge, I wonder how this thread would react if that happened to Downton Abbey.”

Not being funny but considering ripper street has stayed above 5mil for its run I'd say the bbc would be really pleased with that, and the fact that its now over taken Mr Self which has shed it's viewers

Did the snow boost slow the decline slightly for one week or could it be people actually GULP liked it?

The ads bring down everything on commercial TV. We can't just strip them out because it suits our argument, it's important they are factored in to our calculations.

The Mr Selfridge breakdown looks better than Ripper Street's.

Plus Ripper will probably consolidate better, so it will almost certainly come out in front of Selfridge now in the officials.
I think TG next week may boost Ripper still further.

Professor Brian Cox is back at 9pm on BBC 2 next week which should take a chunk of the male audience.

Ouch and that was on series 7, not S1 episode 3
IIRC that clashed with Call the Midwife as well!
What did DOI get for its first three shows last year?
This week the main show is entirely level with last week. This, at least, is some sign of consistency. Notice the first 15 minutes of the show seem to really bring its average down as well
It's like viewers suddenly appear at 6.30. Is it BBC news, is that rating higher than Blandings?

A near faultless night for BBC1 with Ripper Street the only questionable performer. And even then that's purely by comparison to the rest of the night. In isolation Ripper Street's figures are perfectly fine and that it got a nice boost from Call the Midwife this week will be please the BBC I'm sure. Also all credit to Blandings which held up very well indeed.
In contrast ITV had a bit of a worrying night. They haven't quite strayed into disaster territory just yet but its not looking especially positive for them. That's a huge drop for Mr Selfridge week-on-week. As with Ripper Street in isolation that figure is perfectly fine but the trend isn't looking good for Selfridge. Dancing on Ice meanwhile continues to stumble. ITV desperately needs a big new hit to anchor Q1.
Are you sure these aren't series lows for Dancing on Ice? The Sake Off in particular must surely be at or close to an all time low.
That its ITV's biggest show on Sunday night is pretty much irrelevant as well. Its supposed to be ITV's biggest Sunday night show. That Dancing on Ice is just ahead of All-Star Family Fortunes is not a sign of its good health. This is supposed to be their big Q1 entertainment format and its coming dangerously close to collapsing.
It did. 6.86 million excluding +1 and 7.3 million including +1. You are however right to say that it hasn't dropped almost 2 million. Its dropped about 1.4 million in two weeks.
That you're having to reach into daytime for good news for ITV probably isn't a great sign of how well their year is going. Although why you're reaching in daytime when they have Lewis holding up well on Monday and the Trevor McDonald documentary doing surprisingly well on Thursday I'm not sure. And an episode of Midsommer did well a couple of weeks ago as well. I think perhaps you're overstating the success of Splash. Short of it exploding for the final or during a second series next year it has the looks of a solid utility player in line with something like In It To Win It on BBC1 or Take Me Out on ITV rather than a particularly impressive hit. And that Splash is the big success story of ITV's 2013 so far isn't great.

Indeed. Especially since its the people watching the ads that actually matter for commercial television.

It's a good show. More people should give CTM a chance as it isn't all babies and births.

Thought the snow would have boosted Mr Selfridge the fact it was down was a surprise to me. ITV was doing better with Wild At Heart and that was facing Call The Midwife.

EXACTLY!!
Wild At Heart was doing better than Mr Selfridge and it was facing Call The Midwife for its first half hour. I said ITV pulled the trigger too quickly on that one.

Stephen Tompkinson might like that. It'd mean that he'd have television work to tide him over while his DCI Banks co-star Caroline Catz is whisked off to do Doc Martin ...

How so - it's certainly got an audience and has remained steady for 3-4 weeks with all but less than 100 viewers realising a show called Ripper Street inspired by Jack the Ripper is going to be a little bit gruesome. Personally I'd say any birth scene in Call the Midwife is far more gruesome.

Yes 3.51m (15.7%). Last Sunday - 3.29m (16.2%).
