I would have thought it was unlikely that UC would share similar viewers to EE!
You wouldn't necessarily think Richard Wilson's programme crosses over much with EastEnders either; perhaps it doesn't and this week's -1.0m fall was down to it being the second episode of a brand new series. |

Well if you follow the link, Wikipedia is counting the Christmas specials as the first two episodes of a 12-part series.

No numbers through for Thursday yet. But...
Broadchurch (05/01) - 10.86m (10.40m excl. +1) * peak: 11.25m Silent Witness (06/01) - 8.59m Silent Witness (07/01) - 8.49m Celebrity Big Brother (07/01) - 3.65m (3.44m excl. +1) Utterly monstrous consolidated figure for Broadchurch, consolidating over 3 million from the overnight number! When you see the consolidated figure for Silent Witness, it is very easy to see why both damaged one another in this week's overnights. Also fantastic for Silent Witness. Never seen it myself, but those are two brilliant ratings. Someone at work even told me I should watch it the other day as it's really good. It's good to see UK drama doing well. I would be nice to see even more dramas rate so highly. |

That is an utterly insane rating for Broadchurch. Just crazy! I would prefer to see the overnights a bit higher and timeshift lower, but you can argue with a rating like that. Makes you wonder if Corrie and EE will even go that high anytime soon.

That was a massive rating that I was very surprised about as the show wasn't great. More recently we have to look to ratings for series 1 of both Line Of Duty (high 4m) and The Fall (over 5m).

I imagine if it gets similar ratings to The Fall or Line of Duty, I'm sure they'll be thrilled. Rome lost half of its audience throughout the run so clearly audience tuned in but didn't like what they saw. The competition at the time was Crimewatch which did 4.5m and Star Wars on ITV with 3.5m.

CBB extended to 10.30 tonight due to the entrance being added to the eviction show. Might cause issues with non-tape-checked ratings tomorrow.
EDIT: Radio Times paper version has: 9-CBB, 10-BOTS, 11.30-Live from the House. Not sure a 90-minute BOTS would ever have been contemplated? |

They have a couple of (Bigish) storylines.
It ended before Christmas on a Cliffhanger (A Doctor let a patient die which at the moment is secret. Viewers assumed she isn't really a Doctor) which they touched up on when it returned. The character has since taken a Holiday with her Boyfriend who is aware of what has happened. There was also a Happy Christmas wedding to Rob and Karen who are popular with the viewers and have won some awards in the past. The Daily storylines have been fairly good but Doctors is such an easy viewing soap and very consistent. It's so nice to see the soap doing so well. It's about time the BBC gave it a repeat slot. |

I wasn't. It was well acted and reasonably compelling but it didn't exactly look like a mainstream audience puller. One for the critics again.
I know it trended heavily on Twitter, but given the show's content - social media and Twitter specifically were core components of the story - that was always likely to be exaggerated I felt. Overall I thought it rated well for what it was. First time I'm watching CBB this series - I think it's the most explosive highlights show I've ever watched! I think it'll manage to crack 3 million tonight. |

I scored my first ever 5er on the ratings prediction game for Cyberbully! I think Cucumber will perform a lot better next week, as it looks more mainstream.

Channel 4 has Indian Summers soon, wonder where that'll go, Sundays at 9pm would be good but would mean facing both Mr Selfridge and Last Tango in Halifax/Poldark. |

BBC2 should be getting some great ratings with Top Gear and Dragon's Den. |

Cucumber I think will be 2-3m, it's been well promoted by Channel 4 both on screen and off. Not sure about Banana.

Indian Summers is due next month. I was thinking it would be on Sunday but that would mean a period drama clash. I think Cucumber will do well in consolidated but Big Brother will be competing with it for the young demo.

Benidorm was shite tonight. I really think ITV have destroyed its legacy by letting it carry on once the garveys have left.

I hope Benidorm suffers a large ratings drop tomorrow as it will teach ITV a lesson not to carry on shows when the main characters have left.

I would still bet Benidorm does not see much of a ratings drop if any.

So Big Brother has finally got Katie Price, tabloid editors will be salivating at a house featuring Katie Hopkins and Katie Price, to go along with the already volatile atmosphere. Can see it getting its biggest ever C5 ratings next week.

BBC One really do do some funny things in the post-Graham Norton slot on Fridays - last week it was a repeat of Joanna Lumley meet will.i.am, this week it's a repeat of a random episode of some 'Bluestone 42' army drama I've never even heard of never mind seen
IIRC The GN Show always gets easily the best ratings for the 10:35pm slot all week, so they could do with commissioning a regular show to go after it to capitalise on the lead-in really. Or maybe give the excellent 'This Week' a regular repeat slot.
