Incredible rating there for breakfast time. So much for Dimbleby being past it according to someone on here on Friday morning.


Disappointing you'd have to say for Good Morning Britain, possibly lower rating than a normal Friday?

Any idea how the specially extended Wright Stuff performed (CH5 9:15am-11:45am)?

Incredible rating for BBC1 at 6am. Disappointing for GMB, not much better than an average day. I expected that figure to be more like the 9.25 figure.

I think maybe ITV should have stuck with Bradby covering it - or even bringing the Good Morning Britain team into the referendum studio. By clearly switching I think some may have thought ITV would be moving away from the referendum, at least at points, so switched to BBC One.

Those are some very impressive shares and ratings for the coverage!

Viewers just turn to BBC1 for these things. No matter what ITV do, viewers are stuck in their ways and BBC1 will always have the upper hand. ITv could have Barack Obama presenting ITV news on these days and BBC1 would still have the higher ratings.

Ratings are not always indicative of quality. The Jubilee Pageant should tell you that.

Great figures and shares for BBC One during the morning there.

I thought Piers and Susanna were great on Friday morning providing info from across the country.

Tom bradby did GMB after the General election

Are you implying the BBC's Referendum coverage was poor and shoddy? It's a matter of opinion - and I get the majority opinion on Digital Spy is that itv was a dynamic, superb, award winning performance - but BBC One did a good job. If David Dimbleby was presenting on itv, I'm sure he would be lauded here for his authority and experience. Instead, he's seen as a crumbling old dinosaur. Emily Maitlis and Laura Kuenssberg also earned their stripes on the night. There's a reason why 25% of the population stated that they rely on BBC coverage during the referendum, according to the Electoral Commission. When I got into work at 8am yesterday, colleagues wanting to know what was going on instantly went to the BBC News website and were watching the coverage via it.

Anyway, if this isn't bemoaning an injustice on this thread, I don't know what is.

It's fascinating how people gravitate to the BBC when it and ITV show the same event isn't it? We've seen it for decades with World Cup/Euro finals, news, Olympics, elections. This has happened for decades even when ITV were dominating the BBC in the ratings regularly. It can't just be because there are no adverts.

Interesting too how so many extra viewers came out for breakfast television. There are loads of viewers there that don't tune in regularly. If a channel could turn some of them into regular viewers they'd be laughing! Was surprised that GMB wasn't higher, rated like it does most days. I think it was higher when we had the floods.

I went to bed at 6 but heard as much. But I think there was a change from news base to magazine base on ITV at that point which may have had people switching over.

I expect those that tuned into GMB were disappointed not to get their daily diet of soap and reality TV chit chat.

From what I can tell, Coronation Street on Sunday 07 December 2014, got 5.25m SD viewers, with 0.47 on +1 (no HD figure available).

However, possibly the lowest single rating was on Sunday 12 April 2009, 5.44m viewers, in the days before +1 (no HD figure available). This was on Easter Sunday.

As for Emmerdale, the bizarre scheduling of the 2006 World Cup, meant Emmerdale was given a fixed slot of 22:00 throughout, as I recall, so that viewers could "find it", however, come the latter stages, with games going into penalties, the show was shunted later and later, with one episode going out at 22:20, at the time giving it a primetime low of 3.55million, only to be beaten the following week with the Tuesday episode cancelled on the night, displaced until 21:30 the following night, before the next ep. This gave it an audience of 3.38million.

Due to the match, do we expect the lowest ever EE rating on Monday?

Quite interesting that all 3 soaps are already close to their lows. I'd be baffled if EE doesn't reach a new low.

Of course. 1.8m to 18m on itv as I said before.

Really superb ratings for the referendum coverage, higher than a typical General Election. I did hear anecdotally say that various work places were very quiet yesterday - no doubt booking time off because of the referendum.

ITV's numbers are pretty poor though especially considering Good Morning Britain's good numbers from last year's election.

Edit - Assuming the ITV peak was at the time of Cameron's speech, plus an extra ~700k(?) for the various news channels, you're looking at a peak of around 6.6m (72%) which is outrageous at 08:15, really.

It's never gone that low before and England v Iceland will not drive it that low. I think the knockout match may just get over half your prediction considering how the group games have performed.

Is it the case that this wasn't the first or even second time that the One Show's Glastonbury special has been dumped on BBC2, due to news events??? What were the reasons before? Tunisia attack??

It could be said that this was a bigger decision than a general election. We've seen higher election night ratings on the night but I don't think we've seen breakfast ratings like this the day after. Thought GMB would be closer to a million. Did they get that for last year's election?

Their Farage interview was good. Susanna Reid's interview was all over the news on Friday.

Schedule changes for tomorrow on BBC One:

- Sunday Politics extended to 2 hours and 15 minutes (10:00 to 12:15), means it now clashes with Peston on Sunday
- Question Time special at 22:35

Well, hopefully not that low, but I can't see it getting anywhere near as high as 3.9m.

There's the added complication of potential extra time in the 5pm k/o on BBC One delaying the news hour, so EastEnders could end up starting well into the England game.

The only hope would be for some sort of backlash against the England team from casual football fans who are as ashamed to be English after yesterday as I am to be Welsh, but the casual fans haven't really turned up for England in this tournament anyway, so I don't think it'll have much of an effect.

Don't think it'll go that low

That's 2m lower than it's series low. It's very likely to hit a series low, but not that low, probably 3.3m.

It's obvious the reality shows will hit lows, well actually I don't know with LI, that's as sturdy a show you could possibly get, but the lowest ever BB rating is 400-450k when it faced the Olympics Closing Ceremony in 2012. It will probably be the same as that.

Is that too long? Comes straight after Marr which will likely be quite high for the referendum fallout.

That's way too far-fetched. OK, lets be honest, England haven't been great this Euro, but I can definitely see around 14m average for the match.

In fact, more than anything, MORE people will tune in because we are now "by ourselves" and we have to support our team, some form of being patriotic... or some bollocks like that.

I didn't see that edition, but I saw one of the previous Glastonbury specials, (waiting for the EPG to update due to tennis) and it was an uncomfortable watch. You can't do the show properly in an environment like that, they don't rate well, and an excuse is always found to bump them off to BBC Two at the last minute, so I don't know why they bother.
