Including +1 may well send that to ~7m, was still trending on Twitter a good two hours after it finished on ITV.

That's about 610k on +1? Huge +1 audience.

The rugby provided a very high lead in for lets dance. It won't have that good of a lead in again. I think SNT audience will grow.
Mrs Brown's Boys (r): 4.74m (22.0%). Third showing of that episode, originally broadcast on 2 January 2012.
Well, up to a point. The rugby peaked at 18:35 with 8.43m (38.1%), but post-match the audience quickly dwindled to the mid-5s.

Thank You.
Was a good average for A&D but I was kind of hoping for a bigger audience.
I think it would be better if ITV switched it with TMO in the schedules so Let's Dance doesn't clash with it (it is for charity after all).

Peak was at 20:10 (7.325m/30.8% exc +1; 8.12m/34.1% inc +1). Nearly 800k watching on +1 at that point in the programme.
Very high +1 for SNT and a convincing victory.
Didn't see any of SNT but by all accounts it's a slick production. LDFCR seems to think raising money for Comic Relief justifies any old pap (plus everybody on the programme is just so pleased with themselves). Looks like justice was served with the ratings.

It looked grim for Let's Dance when the rugby finished at around 6.35. Whilst I commend BBC1 for not doing an ITV style 3 minutes of round up, it did kill the lead in. Well over 8m became more like 3-4m possibly.
Remarkable then that Let's Dance was still over 5m and only a million or so behind the much trailed Takeaway.
Of course just a few weeks ago 5m or so was enough to prompt ITVista back slapping over a new hit show. Is 5m the measure of a flop now??
Full breakdowns for both channels from half six to half eight would be fascinating.

Only if you add on +1. Lets Dance averaged 6.75m last week.

It is if you include +1, even if you don't the rugby only beat it by 90k.

You can't do that because there is no BBC1+1 channel.
So how can you compare like for like?

Further to previous answers, I suppose it depends on whether BBC One showings for all matches are guaranteed in the contract. If not, then I don't think fans or organisers would begrudge the BBC moving the France/Scotland match to BBC Two. It would be a bit of a damp-squib ending to the tournament to have it on BBC One IMO. But what would be on BBC One in its place?
Saturday 16th March 2013 - suggested schedule
BBC One
14:00 - Six Nations (Italy v Ireland, kick-off at 14:30)
16:20 - Six Nations (Wales v England, kick-off at 16:30)
19:00-22:00 - ????
BBC Two
19:30 - Six Nations (France v Scotland, kick-off at 20:00)
It's hard to think of anything they can pluck off the shelf that would be competitive against Takeaway.

OK - how about the highest rating prime time show?

Rugby coverage finished at 19:02 so it ended within any accepted measure of primetime.
