That looks a bit disappointing for Our Girl given the lead-in. It seemed to get a lot of promotion too. Having said that it still won the slot so it looks like a poor result for DCI Banks.
Another stonking Bake Off number. I was perhaps a little surprised to see it below 10m but that's just because of how high we're used to seeing it - it's an amazing rating still. |

So bitter in fact that when Christmas Day fell on a weekend LWT refused to show the Morecambe and Wise Christmas Show from Thames and it had to run on a weekday.

Ray do you have GBBO and Our Girl to 2dp?
![]() I agree with Score, still a brilliant number for Bake Off despite a drop. Because we've become used to 10m overnights which, really, is incredible. |

That's low for Our Girl, but as it won the slot that means other channels we're disappointingly low too.

DCI Banks is certain for the axe. Stephen Tompkinson is good on Wild At Heart, but serious drama DCI Banks, he just doesn't work.
Pretty low for Our Girl. That's not likely to get a 3rd series, given its likely to drop a bit over the series. Shame. I'm not quite sure what's happening with BBC drama. The only recent drama over 5m has been Poldark. |

Looks like two dramas will underperform on the Wednesday 9pm slot for another 4/5 weeks.
Our Girl is a big contrast from last years Doctor Foster. |

I wonder if the BBC considered putting Bake off and Poldark together that would have worked.

BBC2
Great British Menu: 1.32m (7.3%) Channel 4 (exc. +1) The Last Leg: Welcome to Rio: 0.65m (3.0%) Channel 5 (exc. +1) Can't Pay? We'll Take It Away!: 1.45m (7.5%) Undercover: Nailing the Fraudsters: 0.77m (5.2%) GPs: Behind Closed Doors: 0.76m (3.5%) An impressive rating for Can't Pay? We'll Take It Away at 9pm on Channel 5 against double drama. The Last Leg bombed and it's only a matter of time until The Great British Menu becomes an hour long 8pm show. |

Since The Night Manager ended no BBC1 drama has held an audience of 6m across a series. ITV drama has been much better than BBC1 drama over the last few months.
Which dramas have BBC1 still to come later this year? I can't think of any? |

That has been a problem for several years now, but ITV's inability to get its act together for a long time meant that it wasn't so noticeable. But, inevitably, the pendulum was always going to swing back in ITV's favour at some point, and that's now happening. And with Piers Wenger apparently not joining until January 2017, I suspect things may deteriorate for BBC drama, rather than improve … |

I suspect that the state of BBC One's drama may be less to do with budget cuts and more with a lack of leadership at the top …
Many of the BBC's successes at the start of the year (TNM, W&P, HV2) came to the fore under Ben Stephenson's leadership. While there may be lots of questions about that, and a number of flops to his name, he managed to cover those with enough successes … and that purple patch BBC drama seemed to have at the start of the year no doubt helped. Before Stephenson left for Hollywood, there was talk of him barely being in the UK (obviously setting up his next gig) … so we have absent boss syndrome. There is also the question of how much his successor Polly Hill was actually responsible for at BBC drama: although she cannily got her name on some of those hits from the start of the year, there's very little known about what decisions she took as head of drama (beyond appointing a new exec for EE and a new show runner for DW). After all, she didn't really stick around for long … Add to that the chaos of the channel controller jobs disappearing, the renewal of series that didn't actually perform that well in the first place (In The Club, Ordinary Lies, The A Word), other hit series not returning as soon as would have been ideal (LTIH) and the perennial identity problem for BBC One drama (too many that look like they should actually be on BBC2), and it's no wonder what's coming up on-screen looks patchy. |

It's a problem, I agree, and a reflection of the exodus of people leaving the BBC, plus a lack of leadership all round. I also find it bizarre that a channel that can broadcast LTIH, CTM and DIP - different shows but very clearly aimed at mainstream audiences and successful - can then not apply the principle of popular drama to other commissions.
That has been a problem for several years now, but ITV's inability to get its act together for a long time meant that it wasn't so noticeable. But, inevitably, the pendulum was always going to swing back in ITV's favour at some point, and that's now happening. And with Piers Wenger apparently not joining until January 2017, I suspect things may deteriorate for BBC drama, rather than improve … ITV drama has improved and it's down mainly to outgoing drama chief Steve November's commissions working. History will be kinder to him now when we look back at his tenure. |
