Thats's a good rating for EE, despite the episode being pretty underwhelming.

Aftermaths can sometimes be the highest ratings.

Channel 4 (7pm-11.5pm) (exc. +1):
Food Unwrapped Diet Special: 2.07m (8.8%)
The Undateables: 1.86m (8.0%)
First Dates Hotel: 1.44m (9.3%)

Better for EastEnders, makes the NYD rating strange. That is its highest rated episode in a year isn't it? Or thereabouts.

The same happened five years ago with Pat's death, the aftermath had a higher rating than the death episode.

Have you Silent Witness' rating to 2dp Ray?

Bump!

Thanks in advance

I agree. I don't usually watch EE, but I caught up with NYD and watched last night, but it felt like R&R hadn't actually died. I think they should have at least had the opening shot of them in the pool, just to bring it back to reality.

I said it yesterday. I had no idea Ronnie and Roxy were being killed off until it happened so the whole thing caught me off guard and by surprise. I imagine I wasn't the only one who didn't know what was going to happen either judging by the increase last night!

Hope it stays up because I think the new dude is working wonders. I'm enjoying the show more than I have done for several years.

Channel 5 (7pm-1.20am) (exc. +1):
Ken Dodd (R): 0.45m (2.0%)
Football: the Championship: 0.40m (1.7%)
Football: Goal Rush: 0.36m (2.0%)

I knew last night's EE would rate well. Coming after the exit of two relativity big characters in quite a harrowing way which got people talking, that and it being a bank holiday. I suspect however the ratings will be 'good' for the week and then things return to normal.

5.71m

Ta very much!

Finally a decent rating for Eastenders last night. It will be interesting to see the final rating for the NYD episode which may iron out its strange low number.

BBC4 (Top 3: 7pm-11.45pm):
How the Wild West Was Won with Ray Mears (R): 0.38m (1.6%)
The Queen Mary: Greatest Ocean Liner (R): 0.34m (1.5%)
Film: Albert Nobbs (R): 0.24m (1.2%)

Good night for soaps, they do tend to get a bit of a boost after the holidays

Fantastic for EastEnders. I think that lots of people would have caught up on new years day yesterday on catch up as the episode was on early but a fantastic figure but why did people not tune in on New Years Day? EE top soap at Christmas Then. I can see that consolidating to over 9m.

I really hope we get better aftermath tonight as last night was a bit of a messy episode for EE even though the acting was spot on.

I think NYD will add 2-2.5m so I can see it topping 8m. It deserves to anyway.

Great rating for EastEnders. Well deserved.

So a compilation show for AR managed 4.7m in a 6.30pm weekday slot, and gave a good lead in to Ethel & Ernest.

Well done, EastEnders. The episode last night wasn't brilliant but hopefully momentum can be sustained.

Thanks Ray.

BBC2 and Channel 4 did well. Looks like all the main channels did well except Channel 5. A trump card Channel 5 has though is Celebrity Big Brother.

Pointless getting a massive boost there, with no The Chase on. Inflated as wel by such high BBC News.

Excellent for the slow programme on BBC4
