For anyone who watches Silent Witness, is there a particular reason why it is doing so well and recording some of its highest numbers in years?
Plus the main cast is now very settled and it's a talented cast of strong actors. |

I do think the Silent Witness stories have upped their game this year. In the past they could get quite obscure and meandering, I guess after so many years covering pretty much every type of case. But this year they seem to have homed in on topics that are of immediate public concern and by chance had some topicality. Casual viewers might have been grabbed by that..

I think Silent Witness is winning as people prefer to fast forward the ads so Broadchurch will look higher when that us included. But well done to Silent Witness great show and long may it continue

That's a good point. I think the stories over the last couple of series were strong, but this year I think they've gone up a notch. The scheduling also helped. Another thing that worked was the trailers. The sniper one got my friends talking before it aired and they didn't watch any episodes last year or the year before. It picked up some casual viewers and kept them.

ED and EE both deserve boosts from Tuesday. I really enjoyed ED with the shock twist involving Rachel. Corrie needs to take note and keep some aspects of storylines away from spoilers. It's great not knowing exactly what is going to happen.

Thanks for reposting this. Fascinating. I wonder, with others shows now beginning to consolidate equally as impressively as those which make up that list, how much more diverse the 2015 equivalent will look when it's released next January.

I hope when BARB sort out ratings for tablets/smartphones/mobiles etc, that they are added to weekly figures. I think some shows would be boosted by up to 2m or more in ratings. Ratings might be similar to the highs of the mid to late noughties.
FWIW it's worth I thought Cucumber was great fun, although definitely an acquired taste and I hope it doesn't do too well, because as we know that would only lead to C4 squeezing every last drop out of it until the show's very name is the stuff of Ratings Thread nightmares

The figure of 4.2m requests for 'The Empty Hearse' is astonishing - it's almost enough to make me want to take a sabbatical from this thread until BARB include the iPlayer figures, because what's the point!!

Commercial channels I still record though to skip the ads. |

That's a very disappointing rating for Cucumber. I can see why it got the rating though.
Was still a cracking bit of telly though. |

Were less people watching TV last night compared to the previous Thursday? Death In Paradise has had a 29% share for three weeks. |

Anything for Birds of a Feather? Would be interesting to see if it dropped against EE.

Emmerdale on the other hand quite often keeps its storylines secret or the spoilers lie. |

That is shocking for Cucumber expected at least 2 million,C4 really has a problem getting people to watch their dramas.
Banana was one for the kids. Felt like a cheap retread of QAF and there simply to fulfil the multi platform requirement and the needs of the Cucumber/Banana/Tofu joke - which was more than adequately and not too subtly explained anyway in the amusing opening scene of Cucumber. |

Cucumber was an appallingly bad piece of television full of clichéd stereotypes and deserved the rating that it received. Just what was RTD thinking of when he penned this awful drama ? Do Channel 4 even read the scripts of shows that they have commissioned. This was certainly no QAF and deserves to rot away slowly.
In my opinion showing gay people in such a negative, care free light as Cucumber did, will do far more to harm the public perception of what it is like to be gay than anything else will. I understand it that in this day and age, homosexuality is largely accepted and not frowned upon compared to the 80's and 90's. This programme has the potential to put public feeling back by 20 years. |

Sometimes I wonder is there much point for huge marketing budgets? Posters, displays in Westminster and that's all you get. |
