Just because it annoys me every time I see it, I have to ask, how did you get 6.84 for the Jan 1st episode of Sherlock? It was over 9m in any overnight reports I saw. Thanks.

The Crufts coverage has been very poor and managed to show very little of the actual dog show and a lot of Clare Balding.

Because they are live ratings, just the viewers that watched as the show was broadcast, overnights include viewing before 2am as well.

"@michellosborn: #Callthemidwife series finale average audience of 8.2million - a new series will return to #BBC1 next year"

Live rating means people that watched the show as it wad broadcast, overnights count views up to 2am. So somebody could have watched Sherlock slightly later on the night.

"@overnightstv: England's #sixnations win over Wales averaged 4.7m viewers/36.3%, but peaked at 6.6m/43.7% at 4.40pm"

"@TVRatingsUK: The last ever #DancingOnIce drew 6.18m/24.0% over two hours from 7pm. It knocked back Call the Midwife slightly - it averaged 8.20m/28.9%."

"@TVRatingsUK: #TheMusketeers finally stabilised as it averaged 4.44m/19.7%, 40k up on last week. #MrSelfridge won the slot for ITV with 4.91m/21.5%."

Well here is a day I never thought would come - Musketeers stable - I am so shocked I may have to go for a lie down.

I think that deserves a Hallelujah!

Hehehe it was eventually going to find it's core audience.

What's it adding in consolidation?

Consolidateds have also gone down but its still doing well over 1m. Final for yesterdays would probably finish at about 5.7-5.8m.

Thanks

You said 5.6m last week

I am feeling generous today.

I like the way the various media types quote the "90% of viewing is still done live" to support their arguments and I'm sure it is across the day.

But the timeshifting, including the not often seen 'same day' figures for prime time scripted gives a different picture.

Even BBC shows with no need to spin through ads get remarkable 'same day' figures.

Finally Musketeers stable yay Shame DOI wasn't higher for its last ever episode would have been nice if it went out with a bang.

And even if you pause a programme for a few minutes at the start, and watch a couple of minutes after everybody else it's classed as timeshift viewing.

4.44m the musketeers finally levels off, however it may drop again next week now that the midwife lead-in is over.

Or even 1 second, as confirmed to me by BARB.

Anyone got the Voice BBC three repeat figure please? I didn't get it last week

TV Wise is reporting that Channel 4 has the first run UK rights to the series Fargo.

Strong cast, could be a good acquisition.

perfect 2m show for c4.

Looks like many watched the ad/screen clutter free version on Catch Up that was available soon after the scheduled broadcast would have finished.

So if you start watching something on timeshift, eg 5 mins after it's stated, and eventually catch up due to whizzing through the adverts, is that classed as timeshifted or live viewing?
