Top Gear didn't do that well then still some junk with better ratings.

It's OK I hate soaps - lazy TV

Well the lat time BBC2 got over 7 million was in November 2005, so i would say the ratings are pretty good.

Top Gear will never get anything like that again though. I've never watched it in my life and even I tuned in last night.

I thought it would get a bit more than that. More people watched Jade Goody's eviction at quarter to eleven on a Friday night.

Maybe the BBC didn't advertise it enough.

Are you being serious? A show on BBC2 winning the hour over ITV's dominate Sunday night 8'o clock drama!?!

Those are extraordinary figures for BBC2 they haven't hit 7 million in quite a while!

Top Gear had more competition. What did Jade Goody go up against? ITV News and Newsnight amongst other things.

guesses for tonight

Coronation street 1 11.8m
Eastenders 10.7m
Coronation street 2 11.1m
Waking The Dead 7.4m
Trail and Retrebution 5.2m

Sorry for blowing my own trumpet again, but it appears I was just 0.5m out on the Robin Hood film, 0.9m on Top Gear (my original guess of 8m with a peak of 9m was much nearer the mark!), 0.4m out on Wild at Heart, 0.5m out on CBB's average and 0.8m on the peak, and 0.3m out on Waking the Dead. Pretty happy with that!

A very satisfying result for Top Gear - the BBC's promotion of it was very low key and sensitive. Any other broadcaster would have been tastelessly shouting from the rooftops with trailers, ads, billboards and press adverts, in order to pull in the viewers. So well done BBC for keeping it restrained, handling the footage in a very professional way during the programme, and getting the plaudits and ratings as well.

Why use billboards when you can use your "news" ? [sic] bulletins to promote your shows.

Good ratings for Eastenders and Corrie

Very good ratings for the Ch4 documentary on the Smallest People. They were also on Richard & Judy. I believe they asked their guests if they had felt this way since they were little. A classic Alan Patridge moment.

PS Sunday's Top Gear had BBC2's highest ratings for over 10 years.

ITV and dramas, I have seen some of the last series and a bit of the previous weeks.

Gradually sliding downhill is polite, quite easy to beat ratings on I would say.

There is no reason why any of the 4 on analogue as well channels should have better ratings by their number than others.

My ITV viewing is currently at 2 a week (beyond seing bits of anything my wife might watch), and that is ITV4, before closeure I used to watch Men & Motors, I never watch ITV2 or ITV3 and very rarely ITV1.

If it wasn't for BBC and Film 4 I probably wouldn't bother!

Monday 29th January

BBC1 5.35: Neighbours 3m (17%)
BBC2 5.15: Weakest Link 2.8m (18%)
ITV1 4.00: Morse: 20 Years 2m (15%)
CHANNEL 4 5.00: Richard and Judy 2.9m (19%)

Thank for Neighbours rating ronant !

all 4 stations neck and neck.very rare to see that.

ITV weren't neck and neck - the others had 3m or just below, they had 2m. Still its one of ITV's more successful programmes in that slot - it's doing better than anything original anyway.

Ok All 4 channels within 4% difference in share 15-19% which is relatively speaking neck and neck. Although I'm sure the ITV bashers will dispute the relativity of my statement

Thats because Inspector Morse ran from 4pm - when far fewer people were watching tv. Its share after 5pm would be down quite a bit.

guess for tonights ratings

Eastenders 10.6m 44%
Holby City 7.9m ( Ratings up tonight because Patsy Kensit is joining )
Five Days 6.8m
You Don't Know you're born 3.2m

I'm guessing a good night for BBC1

There is quite a high amount of predictability in the Tuesday night ratings. BBC1 & ITV1 seem to score nearly the same numbers every week. I suppose BBC1 have a lockdown from 7.30 to 10pm with Ch4 and five fighting for the remote happy audience at 9pm & 10pm
