835k (4.1%) for the latter.

7.4m for CF is fantastic with no SCD Results lead out. Did it manage that high before xmas?

Great performance for BBC1 although Endeavour did creditably well including its repeat showing. Better than the final couple of Lewis series although that had been chopped up into midweek hourly chunks.

Walter Presents (silly name!!) is a bit of a let down for me. No All4 on my Smart TV, it won't cast from my tablet, and Sky only have catch up and none of the box sets.”

What i dont understand with Deutschland 83. Is that as it is German, it is being promoted as Deutschland (Eighty-Three) not Deutschland (Drei-und-achtzig)

Broadcast is busy updating. Has confirmed that LSB got 1.8m, with more info on the demographics as well:

Quote:
“Lip Sync Battle UK (C5) 10pm-10.30pm
1.8m (9%)

The UK version of the karaoke format peaked with 1.9m (9.6%) at 10.09pm as viewers watched David Walliams battle Alesha Dixon.

Almost one-third (32%) of the audience was aged from 16 to 34, while nearly two-third (64%) was female.

The show, which is produced by Whizz Kid Entertainment, was comfortably ahead of the channel’s slot average of 1.1m (6.2%) for the past 12 months.”

And More4's new French import got off to an okay start:

Quote:
“Spin (More 4)
9pm–10pm 272,000 (1.2%)
10pm-11pm 196,000 (1.1%)

The French-language drama got underway broadly in line with the second series of The Returned, which gripped 270,000 (1.4%) in the same slot from October.”

C4 awards Formula 1 contract to indie it part-owns:

Quote:
“Channel 4 has awarded Whisper Films, the sports producer co-owned by David Coulthard and Jake Humphrey, a £30m production contract to make its Formula One coverage.

The decision, which followed a closed competitive tendering process with North One Television, is likely to stoke controversy after C4 took a stake in Whisper through its Growth Fund initiative in August last year. It is the first major contract C4 has awarded to an indie it part owns.

The broadcaster said Whisper’s bid demonstrated “significant innovation and creativity” and came attached with Mark Wilkin, who edited the BBC’s F1 coverage. Coulthard, who co-presented the BBC’s output, will also take on an on-screen role for C4.

A C4 spokesman added that the broadcaster has “strict protocols” surrounding its contract award processes and the commissioning team responsible for the decision, led by head of TV events and sport Ed Havard, has a different reporting line to the Growth Fund.”

Beowulf was lucky to get that! But let's be honest, we were expecting a lot worse weren't we?

I think we can survive the dropping of some regional programmes for the sake of a music legend and icon.

Considering ITV got the scheduling of the final wrong (screw TXF, it should have been 8pm), I'm pleased to see one RWC match made top programmes list.

Should bode well for 6Nations, as they have rights to England and Ireland home ties. Which will likely get ITV its best ratings, with anything Italy games get as a bonus Sat afternoon boost.

Pretty impressive 2.17m consolidated for the World's Strongest Man Final on C5 (inc. +1 and 24).

That's the most watched final since C5 began showing it.

Meanwhile 5USA took the opportunity over Christmas to repeat the entire first season of The Mysteries of Laura, which was a surprise hit for them last winter/spring (despite not rating all that well in the U.S.). It repeated pretty well for them too:

Code:

THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA (WED 2001)	254,000
THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA (TUE 2001)	241,000 / +1: 25,000
THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA (WED 2101)	239,000
THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA (SAT 1959)	234,000
THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA (TUE 2102)	228,000 / +1: 32,000
THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA (SAT 2101)	207,000

Might bode well for the all-new second season, coming very soon.

And something that's gone unreported until now is what a strong Christmas & New Year it was for Sky Movies. Who could have predicted they'd have this many titles over 1m!

Code:

FILM: BIG HERO 6 (2015) (CHRISTMAS DAY 1217)	1,734,000
FILM: AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON (2015) (BOXING DAY 1403)	1,092,000
FILM: KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE (2014) (NEW YEAR'S DAY 1603)	1,216,000
FILM: HOME (2014) (2015) (NEW YEAR'S DAY 1054)	1,015,000

I'm still a little shocked at Endeavour, I thought it'd be down quite a lot, but it rose! Maybe those viewers lost from W&P went over to ITV?”

I think it might be around 2m with a large +1 audience.

None of the older-skewing programmes in this list have large time shifts, I'm not sure how War & Peace skews but I imagine it skews old.

Also regarding C4 F1 production, could this mean we see Jake Humphries back presenting with David Coulthard commentating?

Depends on what his priorities are. He'll probably want to carry on doing the football for BT.
