Tonight was great last night; thought it would do well, but still surprised it knocked EastEnders' share below 40%.
Trial & Retribution did well to build its audience, even if it was by only a small amount.

Edit:

6.4m 27%

Celebrity Big Brother 3.7m

Weird. There must be some people who watched Part 1 of Waking The Dead & Part 2 of Trial & retribution.

Good ratings for the return of Prison Break, the best show on TV. It was heavily promoted as well, so a good result.

The highest rated episode of Prison Break was for the final episode of season one when it averaged 2.17million on 5 June 2006. This is the final BARB figure, which means last nights debut episode could well end up being the highest rated Prison Break episode in the UK.

And finally, if you have never seen this show, watch it! You won't be disappointed. Pure TV Gold!

Hopefully Waking the Dead will recover from the disastrous 2-parter on Sunday/Monday. I don't really know what they where thinking with this one, even I gave up on it before the end, so let's just hope it was a blip and they will get back to the conventional format next weekend.

For any show to lose more than a third of its audience from one week to next (9.2m down to 6m) is quite alarming, even with stronger competition in the 2nd week (but not that much stronger).

I'd be interested to see how the audience ebbed away over the two hours - I bet it started quite well at 9pm Sunday but viewers drifted away as it got increasingly incomprehensible.

And I wonder how long BBC1 will be able to sustain the ratings pain of Panorama in the Monday 8.30pm slot, boosting Coronation St's ratings to a record lead over EastEnders? An audience of 3.3m is terrible news after all the hype.

Hmmm was Monday's episode of CS got big enough ratings to beat the new year episode of vicar of dibley? hope not! lol

Couldn't agree with you more Roscoe!!

Yes, it did seem to go rather 'pear-shaped' this week didn't it. Especially considering the brilliant start it had for the 1st 2-parter.

But tbh, I can't see that tedious thing over on ITV holding on to all of it's audience and hopefully WTD will be up in the high 6's or even 7's next week......

Very bad night for ITV! 1.9 Million for a 9.00 show just shocking lol!

Good programme, bad ratings. It happens sometimes.

Yeah last out all 5 terrestrial channels as well. Very odd programme to put on at 9pm on ITV1 as well... Tuesday night's are really terrible for them now, which is a shame in a way as it's the only night of the week when they're not dominated by soaps... saying that Corrie will probably be on Tuesdays before long knowing them .

People complain when they show good programmes because they get low audiences.

The Vicar of Dibley did great, first time a TV show has got over 13 million since October 2005, I think it will most likely will be the highest watched show of the year.

It wasnt a good programme by any stretch of the imagination and the reason it rated so badly is because it was the wrong sort of programme for the ITV audience. Where was the humour - shows like that merely create envy with no other reward for the viewer so why should they bother watching. Also, following on from Million Pound Giveaway - that's just poor scheduling too. Its Tuesday night - young - so they should have scheduled old with a Poirot repeat or something equally non appealing to 16-24s.

God Ratings for BBC1 last night beat the 8 , 9 and 10pm slots Good ratings for Celebrity Big Brother - it was a good show last night and all the contrversy of the racial allegations.

ronant,
Do you have the ratings for BBC 1Neighbours since the first of january, sorry its that no-one hasn't really posted any ratings for the show.

thank you

i'm guessing the ratings for tonight

Emmerdale 8.7m
Corrie 11.1m
The Bill 5.5m
Match of the Day 4.8m
Taggart 5.3m
BBC News 6.1m

It looks like that's going to change after all of the hubbub with Shilpa.

The daytime changes [replacing Citv and the 5'ocloch chat show with Morse] must be pushing up ITV s all hours share since peak time is not noticeably better. Unless of course Coronation Street is still getting 12m viewers?

Thats always tend to get about that on Wedensdays with Corrie, The Bill etc. On Tuesday ITV had 16.7% to BBC1's 24.5%, so i dont think the daytime changes have made a massive amount of difference.
