It was a tad intense for a 6:30 timeslot, but it was made well though.

This is something they could clearly go crazy with after the watershed.

Thanks for that Neil

So actually while it plummeted last year, it has actually remained consistent with the second episode this year with no noticeable fall for the main show. As a fan of the show, I'm aware that's straw clutching, but it's something positive Don't know how likely it is to go back above 7 million though...

Not sure how people are saying this series of CBB is on the up when the ratings are lower than last year.

The equivalent highlights last year is recorded as having been 2.43m, 370K +1.

ie a drop of about 10% from 2.8m to 2.55m ?

The One O'Clock News got a snow boost as well. 4m watched it yesterday! And Father Brown over 2m again.

Corrie full-slot averages were 9.6m and 9.7m excluding +1.

Factoring out the ad break and the early finish the averages were 10.2m and 10.6m (again exc +1).

LOL. You can't just pick and choose one show that happens to be down and then suggest the whole series is down. That episode was a pretty major one in the last series (Denise Welch getting herself into a bit of bother with the twins) and it had less competition than the show did last night. If you take the average, it is indeed up, albeit not by a great amount at the moment. More people seem to be recording it as well if you look at the official ratings on the BARB website. By the series' end it could be a fair bit up, but a lot depends on how the final rates.

HaHa!! Yes maybe so!! Thanks all the same for satisfying my obscure request!! New to all this you see!!!

it used to get 9m at it's peak but I'm not sure it sustained those numbers, or that it ever won its slot - in those days 9m wasn't fantastic, but about as good as it got for bbc1 drama during the week

Miranda will probably get an extra 2 million on timeshift for the second special guest alone..

See I would of thought corri would have been some what higher with the snow an al. Stil not taking nothing away it did wel

It isn't. Last year's DOI performance shows were 45 minutes longer and clashed with Midwife from ep 2.


Ep2 was down 500k and ep3 was also down despite the snow, no midwife clash and a much shorter show,

Anyone got full consolidated figures for the first Lewis two parter? Wonder if enough held part one over to watch in one go, to give the second episode a lift?

If viewers held part 1 over to watch with part 2, then the first part would really suffer as they didn't watch it within 7 days for the BARB ratings.

Exactly. So part two could/should be higher.

Will ITV2's US sitcoms last the distance in that slot with those numbers? Up All Night in particular looks really low with just 0.5% share of the audience compared to the ITV2 average share of 2.5%.

On a completely different note, great rating for Dispatches yesterday.

Official ratings for Monday 14th January

8.09m for Lewis including +1.

Mrs Brown's Boys had 9.66m adding over 2m to its overnight and Miranda had 8.88m.

If you were a fan of the show rather than a fan of the channel you would understand why it certainly isn't a "non-issue".


I'd argue the opposite - unless BBC1 have a big nightly Comic Relief show we don't know about yet it's just getting lost in the BBC2 schedules, while if they waited for Red Nose Day to be officially launched (usually early Feb) it would get much more promotion behind it and attract people who don't watch the Bake Off but will watch things tagged Comic Relief.



It wasn't a repeat - it was episode 2, and sub-400,000 is very poor, even by Skins Series 6 standards. I think it's getting lower than what Beaver Falls did last year, and that got axed.

Down by the most tiny amount, weren't they basically both a couple of thousand under 7 million? I don't really see that as a drop. We'll see what the officials bring for the most recent one, it might timeshift less but we don't know that yet.

And yes it was longer last year, but the point is the drops across the first three episodes were noticeable. With this series the third episode dropped by almost nothing on last week. And the snow affected nothing on Sunday as we've seen.

It's that first 15 minutes bringing down the average massively so far, the news rating high and then going straight into Blandings.

Eh? I've watched BB and CBB pretty much since the start and it's a total non-issue for me for the reasons I explained in detail yesterday. Anyway, I'm in a great mood after last night's super numbers. Don't spoil it. You know how I feel and I know how you feel and there's nothing more to say.

Good to see this.

23:05 Blandings: 1.09m (10.6%)

I hope so, I happen to like both of them

Thanks. What about he first episode on the 7th? No HD or +1 this week on BARB.
