Some dramas just don't click well with viewers, asking someone to watch a 5 part drama over 5 nights is quite demanding. I expect that most +1 viewers last night clicked over from Mayday. I would also expect Broadchurch to be around 5.5m next Monday, Mayday ought stay above 4m tonight.

Maydays ratings have deservedly fallen off a cliff, terrible show. After this and the Godawful Hunted, I hope BBC avoid giving Kudos any further commissions, they have produced some truly terrible shows of late.
Interesting that Broadchurch was also produced by them, though with bigger names it might have more pulling power. |

Somehow I don't think Mayday's job was only to limit the launch of Broadchurch. It was put there to win and failed. Mayday really has arrived early for BBC1 this week.
Also amusing that when Mr Selfridge got 5.5m against Mayday's 6m+ launch you were declaring Mr S to have performed badly, and now Mayday's 4.3m (including a 2m drop in 24 hours) against a fairly similar ITV launch is 'creditable'? Hmmm. It's obviously going to be an unusually good week for ITV, but BBC1's new big shows are all waiting in the wings. |

To be honest I found Broadchurch worse than Mayday. So I suspect the former will also have a drop next week with the big BBC launch of Shetland.

It's called Breathless. It's about gynaecologists working in London in the early 1960s, just before the introduction of the pill and the legalisation of abortion and it has been co-created by Paul Unwin, one of the creators of Casualty.

Interesting that Broadchurch was also produced by them, though with bigger names it might have more pulling power. ITV clearly believe in Broadchurch - they wanted it on air ASAP and have spent a fortune promoting it. That, along with Mayday's audience loss over its first episode on Sunday, was enough to signal it would be beaten last night. I would say the writing is on the wall for Mayday - and, quite possibly for the drama serial stripped across five days. Viewing habits are changing to such an extent that people are no longer willing to make a commitment like that, and I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see its kind again ... unless it's done with a much higher profile cast that'll automatically get bums on seats. |

What utter bobbins. Mayday will have been scheduled for this week for months now. It's really the only possible week in the year - after the new year dramas have all ended, and before the big new series begins. Broadchurch was no consideration at all.
It's obviously going to be an unusually good week for ITV, but BBC1's new big shows are all waiting in the wings. Although I have to ask, what big shows are coming up on weekdays? Next week they've got 2 episodes of MasterChef and the return of Prisoners Wives which didn't do much last time. I'm assuming HIGNFY will be back in a few weeks but in April/May last year they ran Silent Witness but they've already aired that so I don't know what they've got planned to fill that gap. Lord Sugar tweeted the other day that The Apprentice will be back in 'late Spring' which suggests to me that it's been delayed from its usual late-March launch, so they've got a gap there too. |

Although....
compare the ratings of series 4 and series 5 of Doc Martin.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...s_4_.282009.29 Series 4 was on Sundays but series 5 lost the Sunday slot to Downton and played on Mondays. As you can see, series 5 had higher ratings than series 4. |

Yikes. Terrific start then for Broadchurch. And a big old ouch for Mayday. Very poor retention after a great start the previous night.

Well obviously. That's the point - Robbie is claiming it was put there to damage the Broadchurch launch when it clearly wasn't. It was put there because that was the best fit in the schedule.

The big new dramas pending are The Village - already being trailed - and The White Queen.
The Syndicate, Luther, Paul O'Grady's Working Class Britain and I Love My Country can't be too far away either. |

Very nice rating that opposite Corrie. About 700k more than the Olympics Special got in the same slot just before the 2012 Games started.

Both BBC1 and ITV's dramas aren't doing much to shout about. BBC down 2 million and ITV shedding a bucketload during the hour. The ITV+1 figure seems pretty decent though

Very good start for Broadchurch and won the slot just as I thought it would. Disaster for Mayday though shedding almost 2m viewers. Robbie's twisted logic saying it held up well whilst the day before Mr Selfridge has a disaster with just over 5m against Mayday is very odd, but very Robbie!
![]() ![]() Corrie conitnues to do well on Monday's and EE seems to be picking up abit too. It's on Wednesday this week too I noticed the other day. Not sure why. Maybe its a big week and thats why its seem a small boost. |
