Strictly Come Dancing : 9.26m (46.5%)
Go For It: 2.46m (12.2%) Inc +1 The X Factor: 8.28m (39.0%) Inc +1 Newzoids : 3.31m (16.7%) Inc +1 Carpenters Song: 2.15m (13.4%) Inc +1 Fantastic figures for both shows! Strictly peaked at 10.1m. That's almost X Factor's highest overnight since 2014. The final last year had 8.35m inc. +1. Quote:
It was 8.69m. But Strictly launch shows never average 9m in the overnights is what I should have said. Just can't do it. X Factor, BGT and I'm A Celebrity have but Strictly never can. It's a bit surprising considering how high the ratings can get during a series.

Good figure for both shows, just proves that both the BBC and ITV can both have successful evenings if they avoid clashes.

Where the heck did that come from for The X Factor?! Excellent for Strictly - first time it's finished above 9m for the launch; strange we were having that discussion last night about it never managing that and... voila.
Newzoids on one hand struggled with the lead in given but it's nearly back to it's series one launch figure - hopefully it'll hold on to it's audience this time. Note may not continue, many posts on XF forum it was the worst show seen. |

SCD brilliant, 46.5% of viewers!
Seems SCD gave XF a leg up, handing some of its large audience to XF. But even with, No competition on BBC1 XF didn't interest everyone with a far lower share of 39% inc +1. |

Both shows did excellently, benefiting from pretty awful opposition.

Wow. Great ratings for both talent shows there. Strictly up to its highest ever launch is really impressive. That show just keeps on going.
X Factor is particularly surprising, that's way up on last week and comfortably better than anything it did last year outside of the final (the highest it got last year was 7.9m and on the same night it got 7.5m). It's only 0.6m down on the same night in 2014 and the same as 2013. Very good result. Perhaps there's a bit of positive word of mouth in there and the timeshifts for last week could be quite big. I hope they didn't shoot themselves in the foot by doing something as divisive as chicken-gate (I found it hilarious but others won't have). Although BGT didn't take a knock last year after the 'hypnodog' episode so it should be fine. I'd expect tonight to be lower but still up nicely on last Sunday. Outside of the big 2, ITV didn't have a great night. Newzoids did alright (although the lead-in was better than I expected). They'll probably take that number given how low it went before. The Carpenters thing didn't do much though, although it was oddly scheduled. Doesn't bode all that well for Ross next week though. The best that can be said for Go For It is that it isn't much lower than last week despite Strictly. It still did very poorly though and shouldn't return. |

The viewers clearly disagree it was 'it's worst episode so far' ('so far'? This series? Since 2004?)

Strictly does gift it an audience really, although considering last week it is a great achievement to increase so much week on week. The Question is if they can hold on in SCDs absence for three weeks now, or if we'll go back to the 5 and 6ms. I didn't think it was that bad of a show, but equally not a huge amount to make lost viewers suddenly make it appointment to view again.

ITV's Birds of a Feather emerges from this week with an awful lot of credit, doesn't it? I was guilty of not giving it enough credit before - but I see it a new light now.
BBC One has thrown everything at this sitcom season and so far only AYBS has produced a better figure than Birds averaged for its most recent series, and even AYBS got nowhere near the 7.8m Birds managed for its return episode, albeit achieved in January when figures tend to be a little higher across the board. |

The ITV schedulers will be interested to hear about Cowell; most of the past clashes were actually engineered by ITV just as they engineer the clashes between Emmerdale and EE which damage both programmes.
