How did 'Comic Relief Does Glee Club' on CBBC yesterday do?

Consolidated for ep 2 not out till next Monday.

Ep 1 (Sun 24/02, 18:15) - Overnight: 653k (2.9%) / 685k (3.0%), consolidating to 673k (2.9%) / 706k (3.0%)
* repeat 1 (Mon 25/02, 19:00) - Overnight: 327k (1.4%) / 372.5k (1.6%)
* repeat 2 (Sat 02/03, 12:45) - Overnight: 152k (1.9%) / 175k (2.2%)

Ep 2 (Sun 03/03, 17:45) - Overnight: 642k (3.1%) / 679k (3.25%)

Good retention in the overnights for episode 2 despite an earlier start, and it earns a higher share as a result. Still fairly low but I don't know what Channel 5 would have realistically expected. At least it's not collapsed. I wonder if it would actually benefit if it aired directly after Time Team finished, rather than 20 minutes later?

Thanks These figures look alright to me. As you said, its retaining its audience well.

glad itv back on form and moved far away from the likes of love island and tv naughtiest blunders. about time the licence funded bbc had a strong rival again after all this time force them to pull there socks up and not just roll out anything and still win ratings as has been the case against a weak itv of past years and no real rival at all!

hope itv sticks to investing in new drama that costs lots to make but reeps rewards in terms of ratings and sales abroad and moves away from the trash of 1999 up to 2012!!!

Broadchurch did well but in line with expectations. Will be interesting to see how it holds up next week.

Mayday suffered a lot but if it stays at that level for the following episodes its by no means a disaster.

One relatively successful drama launch and suddenly ITV have turned around from their 13 year dip!

Has any drama been a ratings success across 4 or 5 nights since Torchwood Children of Earth?

How many viewers are you expecting for this big game? 8million average?

15m peak?

18m?

Any more?

7.1 million. 4.3 million for Mayday. Not EVERYONE in the world give a hoot about bloody Man Utd. They are not the be all and end all, even if they and their fans think they are.

isn't 15m pushing it? ITV haven't had success with matches recently so 7m seems realistic - though I'd like to be pleasantly surprised.

Well i will be watching mayday tonight lol couldn't give 2 hoots about Man U

Also in March, Syndicate and Lady Vanishes on BBC One, and Foyle's Cold War on ITV (1).

The credits for Broadchurch where not using the typical black background! Made a lovely change!

The text was still same as usual, but the background was moving footage of the coastline.

Now makes me question even more why more shows don't get personal end credits, especially the soaps! The rebrand would have been a brilliant chance to do this.

I'm sure BBC and ITV both understand the position very well.

If ITV was actually bothered about winning more "ratings battles" it wouldn't be cutting another £15m off its programme budget in 2013 when it could easily afford to spend more when it is making a Profit before tax of £464m.

But no, ITV isn't interested in "ratings battles" - it's interested in maximising profits and it knows it can do this without spending any more on programming. If it spends more on progarmming it would win a few more "ratings battles" but it wouldn't be more profitable (or at least management doesn't think so) so it doesn't.

BBC is obviously in a different position as its resources are effectively set for it but I see no evidence of BBC fighting "ratings battles" any more or less than before.

It doesn't need to - it's going to win the overall "ratings battle" anyway (partially helped by ITV's behaviour as above - BBC would win easily anyway but ITV spending less than otherwise obviously helps) so it can continue on its existing path of producing a balanced schedule and fulfilling PSB commitments.

Of course the above is all very boring and it's much more fun (for some people) to follow ratings as a competition like people supporting football teams so I'm sure that is what will continue to happen on here.

still stronger itv now than in past yes took long long time but hope now share price up and more investment itv becomes a true rival to the bbc again

Demographic Information for BBC1 and ITV for Monday 25th February to Sunday 3rd March: http://oi45.tinypic.com/2w395bc.jpg

2. Her Majesty's Prison: Aylesbury: 9.1
3. Call The Midwife: 8.4
4. Dancing on Ice: 7.6
5. The Cube: 7.2

Note: Each number indicates the % of the UK 18-49 population. For e.g. 10.5% of 18-49 year olds living in the UK watched Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway

does the breakdown for broadchurch actually look good- I don't know........ it seems to have lost nearly as much viewers across the hour as mayday did last night or am I reading the breakdown wrong?

Ouch at BBC1 last night, nobody expected Broadchurch to give them such a thrashing. Mayday losing 2m from ep1 to ep2 is a massive worry. The only good thing is that there will be a large anti-football female audience tonight meaning it may hold up for the rest of the week.

Imagine how high Broadchurch would have been if BBC1 hadn't deliberatly tried to dent it.

Stand out there must be Aylesbury, the overnight looked decent but a surprisingly young audience putting it at #2 for the week!

ITV brought Broadchurch forward creating the clash! How is it the BBC's fault?!

Had itv really not wanted broadchurch to have an audience dent they would have delayed a week.
I think maydays audience will bounce back to above five milion tonight so its not that much of a worry for them at the beeb. You may say any show could have a huge audience without opposition. Without lewis miranda and mrs brown could have also been even more popular on monday evenings. Mayday will no doubt improve by the rest of the week.

Very funny stuff

'Creditable 4.3m'

Everyone knows if ITV's new stripped drama had lost 2m by episode 2 there would have been many more posts by you and the usual people than there has been today.

25 perhaps? Bigger than the royal wedding I'm thinking
