I think "The Politicians Husband" got around 2.5 for its debut in that 9pm position. Its had alot of promo. BBC Two has got really steady ratings this year!

How do you mean?

johnnymc

Its because the Main Points get added up with the Back Up points which gives a total number of points combined

You were too busy counting up points to compete properly last week it seems!

A perfect ten on day one is a very good effort in the case of these two shows. I was happy enough with six.

You've set the bar high now for the rest of the week!!

The first column in the table is just for main and special points. The second column is main, special and backup points.

You get what you wish for - I got 5 points

grahamzxy

Last night was tough, my daily 5 point roll ended

5ers seemed thin on the ground which is always slightly reassuring after my poor predictions.....
