Not a bad start although a big gap between average and peak, suggesting it started pretty low (not a surprise given the daylight and warm weather). It seems to have gone down well though so it could hold that.

But I thought people don't watch because it's on Channel 4? Much like the myth people don't watch football on ITV it's nonsense. People go where the sport is.
Also I'm not sure where the myth has come from. Peaks since move to C4 are 8.9m, 8.5m, and 8.8m. |

To be fair The Grand National gets a fair bit of promotion from the BBC with news reports during the week. It's a big event and it's good to know it hasn't suffered as a result of the move to C4.
Also I'm not sure where the myth has come from. Peaks since move to C4 are 8.9m, 8.5m, and 8.8m. |

Fun fact: last night's BGT rated higher than any episode of the most recent series of The X Factor, The Voice or Strictly Come Dancing, with the sole exceptions of Strictly's final and its Blackpool special.

I thought it would at least break 3m. Also horrible for In It To Win It. It normally holds up better than that. Should have been above 3m. Not sure what to make of Thunderbirds. It looks horrible but then it did better than most kids stuff does. I guess ITV are making their money on international distribution with this one. |

Pretty weak start for Play To The Whistle. With the BGT lead-in I think they'd have wanted 4m. It had an easier slot than Ninja Warrior but rated worse.

Play to the Whistle should have been higher. It will be interesting to see where the peak fell for Ninja Warrior. It may have been towards the end when people were tuning in for BGT. If they liked what they saw, then perhaps the ratings will rise a little for next week. However 3.68 million is an ok start but not something to shout about just yet. |

Casualty did decently there compared to BBC1's poor performance earlier on, taking advantage of Play To The Whistle's weakness.
As did Britain's Got More Talent which did very well indeed. That'll be about 1.7m with +1 based on how it normally does there! |

ITV do incredibly well to keep BGT fresh and fun. No sob stories or continual arguments about judges. Most importantly it more than maintains its audience.
The complete opposite to the XF. |

Pointless and Casualty were well positioned by BBC One to knock the new programming and they did their jobs to perfection. Why try something new when you can watch year round stalwarts instead? It's ironic Coronation Street's biggest threat is MasterChef, the presence of which seems to be growing in the schedule every year.
Back to last night - Ninja Warrior performed better out of the two but in terms of building a schedule it's another failure, albeit an unfortunate one this time rather than through lack of effort. Britain's Got Talent raw figure looks disappointing but when you consider the share and the fact it beat every episode of Strictly 2014 except Blackpool and the final then it doesn't look so bad at all. More Talent did well for ITV2. Channel 4 had a good night and recorded another nice National peak though it's amazing that 2m less watch now it's on a different channel, probably because the BBC's promotion was far more indepth when they had it. Same with the FA Cup. The golf didn't perform too badly but, excluding +1, Channel 5 failed to hit 1m again on a Saturday night though CSI didn't disgrace itself. |

Britain's Got Talent shows that if people want to watch something they will seek it out, even if they've avoided the channel for weeks.
It's a must see show. |

Good for BGT and BGMT. Poor start for both new shows, especially as Ninja Warrior had 15minutes against Atlantis too. Poor rating for what is an expensive show.
Not sure how expensive Ninja Warrior was as they didn't build the set themselves, it was flown in from another version of the show. They filmed the whole series within a few days too, so the arena costs will have been kept down. It's a decent bit more expensive than Play To The Whistle though, I'm sure! don't think 4m is a bad start but it isn't amazing either and it'll need to hold at that level. We shall see. The Whole 19 Yards launched around the same 4m or so back in 2010 and that got canned, but I think the difference was that ITV built the set for that themselves rather than importing one in. Also 4 million now is relatively better than 4 million was 5 years ago.

The soap awards have stepped in this year and won't allow multi voting via the methods HO fans used last year. The whole point of awards isn't "ratings popularity" either. Why shouldn't HO win best soap? Are we seriously suggesting Corrie is the best soap with that comment?

Ok for NW-though its far from accepted and next week will be important for it. Play to the Whistle not looking good but BBC1(aside from the rump loyal Casualty audience) is dire. Arguably the Lottery's most popular format really looking threadbare there and well, Atlantis is shot at. Having said that, its going to take something pretty substantial to knock BGT and perhaps we can allow the BBC some slack after a stunning quarter 1 and probably a six month sweep of primetime Saturday wins. They are holding out the white flag for the next couple of months it seems. |
