Heartbeat only 500,000 behind Corrie!

Aren't these the percentages of those watching TV at the time?

Sing It Back:Final~3.1~18% share
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?~3.9~20% share
That's what I call TV~4.4~23%
Big Fight Live~2.7~18%

Am i right in thinking those are the best ratings yet for That's what i call TV?
Well done on winning the slot anyway!

Sing It Back bounced back from its low ratings the week before of 1.9m (13%).

I'm always amazed at how low the peaks for the conclusion of the Open on Sunday night are: 5.4m this time despite all the high drama of a playoff. Clearly golf still has an image problem!

MediaGuardian has the ratings as:
Emm: 5.3m
Corrie: 7.2m
Hbeat: 6.6m
Commander: 5.5m

All awful ratings!

Why? Its a July Sunday summers night with reasonable weather and the final of a major listed sports event on the other side?

Can't believe Smallville only got 280,300. Extremely poor ratings last night, even on multi-channel.

BBC1 took chunks out of its early evening schedule when it gave viewers a taste of the 2007 Great British Open. The coverage peaked at 6 million viewers, brushing rival programmes aside, including part of ITV's strong line-up. 'Emmerdale' lost out with 5.2 million viewers, compared to BBC1's 5.6 million viewers. However, 'Coronation Street' recovered reasonably well, with 7.2 million viewers, knocking aside the golf competition.

Later on, ITV1 dominated the primetime hours with the Yorkshire 1960s drama, 'Heartbeat', achieving 6.6 million viewers, and 'The Commander' pulling in 5.5 million viewers. BBC1 could hardly compete, with ill-fated drama, 'The Chase', getting 3.7 million viewers. A repeat of 'Waking the Dead' only managed 3.5 million viewers, suggesting BBC1's current policy of constant repeating is wearing off.

Controversial gay film, 'Clapham Junction', scored over the 1 million mark, while BBC2's finale of 'Rome' got a steady 2.2 million viewers. BBC News at 10:15pm won its ratings battle with 5.2 million viewers, while ITV1's 'News Knight' with Sir Trevor McDonald managed a respectable 3 million viewers.

Well, where I was last night the weather was truly awful! Maybe the ratings are also low because half the UK is submerged in water...

The ratings are still bad though. Corrie can hold up better than that against a England friendly match! Earlier this year, a Friday I believe, Corrie went head-to-head with an England friendly and still managed 7.5million against a larger audience for the football.

Low?

6 million for golf is low?

On a summer's evening?

Against Emmerdale and Coro St?

Granted I think it peaked at 7m last year, but "low" it is not. Did ITV1's F1 coverage get 6m viewers? Or the boxing?

Given that half south England is submerged in water , it might not be everybodies priority to catch whats on the TV.

5.4mil for BBC 1 up against EM and Corrie is brilliant for
BBC 1 especially for golf.

The final instalment of ITV1 drama The Time of Your Life attracted just 4 million viewers (18%) in a 9pm slot last night. At 10pm highlights of the latest going ons in the Big Brother house baught 3.1million viewers.

The F1 coverage beat BBC1's golf as it peaked at 4 million viewers.

I dunno 'bout the boxing tho.

''BBC1's Panorama on immigration had a strong week pulling in 4.1m (18%), compared with 2.3m the week before.''

That's surely got to have dented Corrie's ratings!

Tycoon got a dire 1.3 million viewers (Sploid)

I wish there was a free alternative to ViewingFigures.com

Sorry, no other soaps.

I don't suppose anyone knows what ratings 'Supernatural' is getting on ITV1? I'm not expecting lots, but would be interested to know. Ta

Mon 23rd July:

Here are last nights ratings... no shares though, sorry!!

Emmerdale: 6.8m
Corrie 7.30: 8.9m
Corrie 8.30: 8.6m
EastEnders: 9.3m

''The arrival of the Mitchell sisters to BBC1's EastEnders got something of a tepid welcome from the viewers with their debut appearance being watched by 7.8m viewers (44.3%). More follows.''

CHANNEL FOUR ACTUALS

The Simpsons-1.5m
Hollyoaks-1.3m
The River Cottage Treatment-1.5m
Big Brother-3.5m
Cape Wrath-987,400
How Gay Sex Changed The World-613,400

EastEnders loses 1.5m viewers in one day. They need CS as a lead in!

It shows people were only interested in Stella mania, now the aftermath has finished, they're not interested anymore! Shows how popular Stella was!

I suppose the fact most of the midlands had no power since 2pm yesterday didn't help matters.

44% IS impressive for July and EastEnders top of the day. Campare that to the 5.1 million and 28% Emmerdale got.

5.1 million Where did you hear that?

Anyway...

From Broadcast

Not sure it's got anything to do with that.

It had a 44.3% share, which is more than what Corrie got for it's second episode on Monday.

Ratings in general were down yesterday, so it's the share which is most important.
