Ah right okay. I just looked through the archive and you're right that the 9.4m peak at the conclusion of the 2013 FA Cup Final boosted Britain's Got Talent. But then the 11.4m peak for the 2012 FA Cup Final did not boost Britain's Got Talent at all, it was flat week-on-week. Very strange!!

Football (and sport in general) skews relatively young and upmarket, similar to X Factor. The difference is that X Factor is about 60/40 female to male while the football is the reverse. But within that, there's going to be a reasonable number that might stick around. Certainly more than The Chase!”
That's fair enough. However I'm not sure
quite how much difference it will make. We'll see.

And indeed the programme came off air at the time it was scheduled to. If BBC Two is running late now it must be something to do with the prerecorded factual about F1 inbetween the Ceremony and Top Gear, how very strange.
