Climbing down without falling wouldn't have been easy, either.

I smell ratings turkey for both those new fantasy dramas on ITV, and for BBC One's River, although all three should at least get reasonably decent figures for the first episode.

They brought that on themselves by ensuring the multichannel audience would be catching up on EastEnders at 10pm.
ITV's left hand, meet ITV's right hand.

Agree, for me it's complete and utter guff - fronted by an antique, a ladies man and 2 unfunny "comedians" that trot out the same hilarious (cough) innuendos. Garbage.
However all credit to it, it's a ratings winner and a mega hit for the BBC, and there are plenty of other programmes I enjoy that many on here will hate!
This is how BBC 1 rated from 18:00-22:00 last year (including Doctors).
Wednesday 8 October 2014
BBC 1
13:45: Doctors - 1.37m (20.7%)
18:00: BBC News at Six - 4.85m (29.0%)
18:30: BBC Regional News - 5.21m (29.0%)
19:00: The One Show - 4.23m (21.0%)
20:00: The Great British Bake Off - 12.29m (49.0%)
* Peak - 13.32m (51.2%) at 20:50
* Highest rated programme excluding sport of the year
21:00: Our Zoo - 4.49m (20.0%)
22:00: BBC News at Ten - 4.47m (25.0%)
Doctor Foster will easily get more than Our Zoo. And for the Bake Off? I think it could get a 13-14m average. Will no doubt be wrong as I'm rubbish at predicting but I do love these TV "events".

At least it isn't clashing with EastEnders

If Lewis started at 8pm it would be on the same junction as the weaker Holby City. With Emmerdale ending at 8pm, viewers would be more likely to stick around and watch Lewis, than watch another LE show.
nother reason for Lewis's lower rating is because viewrs would rather watch Lewis as a 2hr drama, not in 2 parts so they have to remember what happened last time.
If Midsomer Murders can do 5m+ on a Wednesday straight after Corrie, then why can't Lewis manage over 4m on Tuesday? Last night Lewis had to buid an audiece from the lack of ITV have had this year. Don't forget this slot has seen 90% of its ratings below 2m. So Lewis has had to get those ITV viewrs back to watching ITV on Tuesday whilst competing with the established NT.
And no even if Lewis got 4m starting at 8pm, it would still be higher than Eternal Glory and would at least give BBC1 some proper competition. As it is, Holby City could be under 4m with some healthy comp. Its had it so easy, as had everything on BBC1 Tuesday (bar EE).
A 2hr drama is not too much. Some of ITVs strongest dramas: Endeavour, Vera, Midsomer are 2hrs.
And besides Lewis is not really a drama ITV are dependable on. It would be better to start building back up the Tuesday night wit an established drama, than just wacking out a new untested one.
I challenge anyone not to have had a little tear the end of Bake Off tonight- Really was a spectacular finale- It deserves everything it gets tomorrow, just a question of how high can it go?
The first half has finished on ITV4 in the Rugby World Cup between Namibia and Georgia.
Should be 40 minutes - kicked off 8pm, finished at...er...9.07pm
(For those who don't follow the RWC, the Third Match Official (TMO) has the right to interrupt the game and review anything they think might be worth a second look, and they've not been afraid to come forward).
ITV regional news might as well have had 6 weeks off for all the cancellations, and when we get to the knockout games, the schedule might as well say "approximate timings".

Precisely .. not a dry eye in this house for sure. I feel sorry for the "I don't get it. It's boring" brigade. Now will it get over 14 million, that's the question.
Looking ahead, interesting question about where Bake Off 2016 launches. Logically it'll be Wednesday 3rd August 2016, but the Olympics begins from Rio on Friday 5th August.
What I can't find is exact timings for Rio 2016, only the days events are happening on, so its difficult to guess whether we will see a 'blanket' Olympics schedule or whether shows such as Bake Off will run as normally, or start later i.e. on Wednesday 24th August.

The swimming and athletics are both very late - mostly between about 11pm and 2am.
The only major sport really happening during UK primetime is track cycling - which runs from the first Thursday to the second Tuesday. So I'm expecting a mix of Olympics and non-Olympics on BBC One prime, to be honest.
Important Note
Note - there may be three different peaks circulating for the Bake Off final tomorrow. The reason for this is because one-minute peaks are now officially a thing.
I remember one of The X Factor finals (either 2009 or 2010) having a 5-minute peak of 19.2m, and a 1-minute peak of 19.6m, so it can make a fairly substantial difference (I don't know if this affects tape-checking, btw).

In the email I got from Overnights.tv, it seemed to be that the new one-minute data was only in the consolidateds?

I would agree, but wanted to post it just in case we have multiple peaks flying around in the morning.
