I think that the 20-order run for One Born might just be the end of the show.

C4+1 was the difference here. It's been around for longer, crucially has a far better Freeview EPG position and is still maintaining a healthy advantage over C5+1 despite that not being true of the parent channels. Note also that C4 is still a good 5 million ahead in terms of reach. But C5's viewers are watching for on average 3 minutes longer.
ITV3 was a distant sixth on 2.9%.”

I agree with you on that George. I know that the weather was amazing, and that Wimbledon will certainly have skewed ratings, but Channel 5 was relatively flat week-on-week compared with Channel 4. With +1, a gap of 0.2 percentage points (or a 4.4% difference) it was mighty close between the two. With these figures, I think it's clear to say that now it's 'Channel 4 in Crisis'!
