Thanks for the ratings Ray.

If that's BBC2's 3 highest rated for the day I dread to think how low Murder went! Line Of Duty can't come quickly enough!

That's quite impressive for Celebrity Juice Live, would be around 1.2m incl +1. Probably double what it was getting last series.

Great for Big Bang, probably around 1.5m with +1. Looks like a great night for the digital channels compared to the main ones.

Emmerdale (7pm): 4.83m EXCLUDING HD / excluding +1
so probably around 5.8m including HD

Emmerdale (8pm): 4.69m EXCLUDING HD / excluding +1
so probably around 5.7m including HD

The Cruise: 2.48m EXCLUDING HD / excluding +1
Last week: 2.58m excluding HD/excluding +1

That's odd, because I could swear I remember reading they had ...

Either way, it's easy to say nobody would have turned down HV now - at the time, I'm not sure everyone would have known what a success it would be. History is littered with instances of broadasters turning down projects that would go on to become major hits (e.g. Channel 4 and Life On Mars).

Shame about the eastenders ratings especially the second episode. They were both excellent last night.

Celebrity Juice beat BBC2 and Channel 4 at 10pm.

Highest ever figure for a Guy Martin programme on Channel 4.

Was it? That surprises me. Helped by having Murder on BBC2 as competition. 270,000 for that. Makes Too Much TV look like the London 2012 closing ceremony in terms of ratings!

I'm sure it'll be shown at some point, they are certainly going through all the Disney classics now and this remains the last biggy. I imagine this would draw huge audiences if the BBC showed it around Christmas.

Then there's Frozen this year, which will be even bigger!

Thanks to seagull_Mark on Broadcasting for these figures:

Man Utd v Liverpool 1.11m (1.73m peak) - BT Sport Europe
Tottenham v Dortmund 68k (150k peak) - BT Sport 1
Sevilla v Basel 40k (62k peak) - BT Sport Showcase

Just slightly lower than last week for Man Utd v Liverpool (not helped by the tie basically being over by half-time).

From Mediatel:
Bear Grylls: Mission Survive: 1.9m (10%)
The Cruise: 2.7m (13%)
Tonight: 2.5m
Budgies Make You Laugh Out Loud: 375k

Mediatel's figures exclude +1 and are not tape checked (Emmerdale will have been higher than stated)

Including +1
Bear Grylls: Mission Survive: 2.0m (10.4%)
Trauma Doctors: 1.0m (5.2%)
Alan Carr: Chatty Man: 680k (4.9%)

Thanks for all the figures Ray Tings! I'd estimate Emmerdale around 5.53m & 5.39m exc.+1. I don't think it adds 1m with HD very often. The same episodes last year had 5.5m and 5.3m exc.+1.

A bit late but here's the overnight average for the Big Three for February 2016:

Coronation Street: 6.98m
down 150k yoy
down 200k on Jan '16

EastEnders: 6.45m
down on 1.66m yoy (#EELive)
down 330k on Jan '16


Emmerdale: 6.2m
down 80k yoy
down 160k on Jan '16


Overnight average for 2016: (Jan & Feb)

Coronation Street: 7.08m
down 300k yoy

EastEnders: 6.62m
down 1.07m yoy

Emmerdale: 6.28m
down 40k yoy

Emmerdale is incredibly consistent. Corrie's decline has steadied somewhat. EastEnders hasn't had an anniversary/Live boost this year

Looks like Guy Martin's show out a substantial dent into Mission Survive which is now very much in flop territory and I highly doubt it'll return. Is it not very good this series? I've not seen any of it but last year's run was quite consistent but it's lost nearly a million since the start of this year's run.

ITV got revenge an hour later though when Celebrity Juice Live did well and whacked Chatty Man which got an absolutely dreadful rating. Surely it'll move back to Friday (or maybe Sunday) soon?

Seems dreadful. What was the show it replaced getting?

A selection of Premier League and World Cup 2018 qualifiers will be made available to all Sky TV subscribers after the broadcaster revealed it is to launch a new sports channel.

..........and about 800,000 between all three. Back in the 90's Emmerdale was consistently 5 to 8 million behind the big two. Its all bunched up with core viewers give or take a few stunts or anniversaries these days.

Top 3 Multichannels:

E4:
The Big Bang Theory- 1.55m

ITV2:
Celebrity Juice- 1.19m

BT Sport Europe:
Man Utd V Liverpool- 1.12m

Three shows over 1m on multichannels, not bad!

Looks like ITV2's new comedy show Elevenish has died on its arse. Family Guy would have been double that. I suspect next week it'll be under 100k.

Celebrity Juice pulled out a pretty damn imressive figure, even though the ep was disappointing (as it has been lately). Knocked Alan Carr down to a dire figure. Really poor.

Bear Grylls clearly doesn't work on ITV. I notice his show on CITV isn't even making the top 10, so not even above 150k. Time to put this show to bed. ITV is so female skewing that its impossible to attract male viewers unless for sport. This is simply due to the way ITV have been commissioing for the last decde or so. They've driven the male viewers away. Soap heavy schedules don't help either.

Ch5 replaced a flop with a flop. Terrble figure at 8pm. 375k is dire.

Just found these numbers for breakfast TV (Mediatel account on twitter) Mon-Thurs averages this week BBCBreakfast was 1.5million (is it ever anything different?) and GMB was 618,500k

Bloody hell, they need to move this back to Friday immediately. I'm guessing the reason they moved it in the first place was to lift it above the 1 million it normally gets. Is it in danger of getting axed? I really hope not, though I am tiring of the format slightly. It probably could do with having shorter series. It must either get good demos or be extremely cheap to make?
