I dont think the rugby did well given that it let BBC 1 get 11.4mil, EE probably gave a leg up to After You've gone also.

Mainly because BARB is designed for the industry and not for Joe Public. The industry wants to see how individual shows are doing. Like it or not its 15 different shows.

Didn't this change to the Women's World Cup Football for the first couple of hours?

OMG!

No. Friday's EastEnders averaged 8.0m (peak 8.4m)

Why do ITV insist on giving Millionaire such a good slot when it is clear it is only getting those reasonable ratings because of it's lead-in? Meanwhile, I think XF is probably losing 1m or so viewers (although its share remains great).

ITV desperately need a new gameshow and a new family drama for Saturday nights to team with X Factor.

anyone have the Neighbours viewing figures for friday?

And out of interest, are there any further figures for Nuts TV?


Disclaimer: I do not watch it.

Nor do many others it seems!

New 'blokes' channel Nuts TV made something of an inauspicious debut on Wednesday, averaging just 9,000 viewers and a share of 0.10% between 9pm and 2am.

The continuous programming managed to gain a 15 minute peak of 28,000 (0.14%) when the station launched at 9pm. Its peak share hit 0.23% at 10.45pm, equivalent to 26,000 viewers.

Nuts TV, unsurprisingly, appealed to a male audience. Over the time it was on air 81.1% of its audience was male. In the channel's opening 15 minutes 88.8% of those watching were men.

So they haven't managed to find any figures for last week then?

So much for the whole "OMG! Eastenders got 11.4m!".

That's very interesting.

I can't believe 1.84 million people watch Cash in the Attic!

wow thanks rizstar and GeorgeS!

Apparently somebody said so on Radio 1. Odd - maybe they were just having a laugh?

It deserved 11.4m but up against the rugby it had no chance

Anyone know what Man Utd v Chelsea got on SS1?

The Royal is down a bit this series. I expect that is because BBC1 seem to be pointlessly going for the same viewers at the same time by showing Antiques Roadshow at 8pm

BBC ONE is getting the best ratings it has in a long time for that slot, however. It could get as low as 2-3 million when showing a Heartbeatesque programme, now the Antiques Roadshow draws a healthy 5 million viewers. I always wondered why it wasn't shown in 'primetime' as it is pretty popular - the decision to do so seems to be working.

I'm surprised they never thought of it before. It always seemed wasted at teatime, and whilst in the 1980s it might have pulled 14-15m in that slot during the winter (no, really!), times and habits have changed. It means they can compete with ITV1's comfort programming whilst getting good ratings for a programme with a loyal audience. It also means that when Top Gear comes back, BBC1 won't necessarily take a hammering - whilst there might be some overlap between TG and AR, you'd think they were complementary audiences.

If AR stays at 8pm, I reckon 8pm Sunday will attract the biggest combined TV audience of the week this autumn once TG returns in a fortnight, certainly the biggest terrestrial audience.
