Probably...but BBC2 has had some good success with such programmes where people have let their puppies & pussies be shown on TV.

Primarily I was considering the overnights.

If timeshift increases it shows interest is waning as for some Broadchurch is no longer a 'must see' and they have other things to do at the time such as wash their hair?

Exactly, if anything, it will put viewers off.

Excuse me? The only thing spinning in here is your ego. I've copied and posted before and been told not to, so just picked out the two main soaps last night. I've made it clear the ED figure includes +1.

Last nights 9pm slot:

BBC1: Silent Witness- 6.11M
BBC2: The Eichmann Show- 1.20M
ITV: Paul O Grady's Animal Orphans- 2.85M
CH4: 24 Hours in Police Custody- 2.44M
CH5: Celebrity Big Brother- 2.96M

The NTAs will damage the competition tonight, especially CBB I'd say as it usually does, they share a bit crossover audience, and CBB is nominated for an award too.

Fairly meh all round. I'd predict the football dented it all but DS haven't included it in their report so it can't have done too well:

strong ratings for cbb, ntas isn't the only competition i wouldn't underestimate wolf hall which has a real buzz about it and is already trending on twitter

Ah yes, Wolf Hall too!

ED did it's best to stop viewers turning over at 7:30pm with a great cliffhanger going into the ad break. It was a very strong episode last night.

'Must See' doesn't equate to watching live. Tonight's Wolf Hall is 'must see' for us, but we'll watch it later in the week.

Have the figures for GMB improved on last Monday of 580k?

Ridiculous number for the filler cats programme on C5, which was basically just a compilation of YouTube clips and scored one of Five's highest weeknight 8pm figures in months.

They are on a bit of a roll although that didn't stop Suspects dipping below 700,000.

you are confusing "must see" with "must see live". outside of sport i probably need to watch one or two programmes a year live.

The days of everyone talking about a show the day after has put paid to that.

Ooh err misiss!

Now who is spinning? Nobody knew about the return of Rachel or the sentence Charity would get.

Count Arthur Strong's ratings have been remarkably consistent. I wonder if this will encourage BBC1 to move series 3 to a primetime slot, say Fridays at 8.30.

I reckon the NTAs will be low. I won't be watching. It will just be another X factor fest like last year.

Last Monday's consolidated ratings:

Broadchurch 8.64m/9.43m (+ 3.30m)
Silent Witness 8.13m (+ 2.64m)

Live figures:
Broadchurch 4.47m
Silent Witness 4.51m

This is very obvious humour.....and it works!

Emmerdale always beats EE when it clashes with a head start so it didn't need to fight off anything, and both soaps are on top form this week so it's a shame they had to clash. As I said last night, EastEnders was an excellent last night and it's a shame less people got to see it as it was an important episode.

Those live figures are close. If one wasn't there the other would flourish!

Broadchurch added 3m again. I think that's excellent. And a massive timeshift for Silent Witness.

Thanks Ronant.

Do you have Sunday's consolidated ratings by any chance?

Ka-BOOM!!!

Overnights are increasing irrelevant - blah, blah, blah. Welcome to television viewing the 21st century way.

Incredible figures for both Silent Witness and Broadchurch there! Almost 6m people timshifting between the two programs!!

Still Open All Hours 7.12m (+ 0.75m)
Last Tango in Halifax 7.07m (+ 1.38m)

Foyle's War 5.65m/6.16m (+ 1.42m)

Not a chance, I don't think, after they did the same thing with Citizen Khan and it failed miserably.

A bucketload down on the opening episode but with all the flack its taken I think they'll be happy enough with that.

Sigh.
