September 23, 201410 yr Author The fact that it's 2 million HIGHER than The X Factor is unbelievable! I'm also amazed that Doctor Who is still rating higher than the soaps :o There has been a slight fall in ratings across the board due to obvious reasons but the soaps seem to have been quite badly hit!
September 27, 201410 yr Last night's overnight ratings are VERY shocking if you're regular follower of UK TV Ratings... BBC One EastEnders - 6.35m Strictly Come Dancing - 6.53m [Down 1.3m from equivalent 2013 episode] ITV Emmerdale - 6.07m Corrie - 6.92m + 6.93m The X Factor - 5.29m [Worst rating since Episode 1, Series 1] :o Not only did X Factor gets one of its worst ratings ever, the clash caused Strictly to drop viewers like flies AND even Emmerdale + EastEnders beat XF in the ratings. Obviously it's only overnights, and it should timeshift to 7m+ in the official BARB ratings (Strictly should reach close to 8m).
September 27, 201410 yr Don't think you can read too much in to these ratings anymore.. be better if it included online viewings +1 etc. etc. I for one didn't even know X Factor etc. was on until 20 minutes before it was scheduled to air.
September 27, 201410 yr It's still rather embarassing ratings and they deserved it for believing they could compete against Strictly.
September 27, 201410 yr Don't think you can read too much in to these ratings anymore.. be better if it included online viewings +1 etc. etc. I for one didn't even know X Factor etc. was on until 20 minutes before it was scheduled to air. Catch up and recordings are counted in the Official ratings given by BARB. X Factor received 600k on +1, but that's still only 5.8m!
September 27, 201410 yr Author Oh dear. It's bad for both shows but I'm sure they'll both return to higher figures tonight.
September 27, 201410 yr I think it was the Friday SHOCK that did it. I mean I love X Factor as much as the next less discerning homosexual, but I had no idea it was on last night and only knew when it popped up in my Planner on Sky.

October 12, 201410 yr Good to see Only Connect still getting decent ratings. Comfortably over two million for a very difficult quiz is good going. Decent's an understatement. If I've read the list correctly, it's the most watched overall show on BBC2 for the week. I'd call that ruddy marvelous.
October 12, 201410 yr Author Decent's an understatement. If I've read the list correctly, it's the most watched overall show on BBC2 for the week. I'd call that ruddy marvelous. It's the third! There's University Challenge with 2.95 (which I removed for the week but I'll put it back in) and Gardener's World - 2.28 (which isn't the best programme to match Buzzjack's demographics :kink:) but yes that's still very impressive :o Edited October 12, 201410 yr by Rabbit Heart

October 22, 201410 yr Author ENORMOUS ratings for GBBO Final!Doctor Who beating The X Factor :o It was the 8th episode of Doctor Who compared to the first live show for The X Factor!Amazing ratings for Gogglebox too Very good to see so many shows on the digital channels doing well. I think there has been a large improvement in content and investing in new shows on them recently and it's nice to see it pay off. Edited October 22, 201410 yr by Rabbit Froot
October 22, 201410 yr Really impressive ratings for The Great British Bake Off! Its overnight ratings were 12.29m so that's a big 1.22m added for the consolidated ratings. Makes it the biggest non-football figure of the year and 3rd overall. If anyone's interested, the last time any of the soaps passed 13m was back in December 2010!
October 24, 201410 yr Didn't know where to post this since there isn't a General Discussion, but I'm looking for series in the vain of Broadchurch, Sherlock, Chasing Shadows. I already have Vera and Scott & Bailey in mind (are they any good?), any more suggestions?
October 24, 201410 yr I don't know if you watched The Fall with Gillian Anderson but that's a police drama which imo is far better than the ones you mentioned. Also a four part C4 drama called The Fear which was excellent and is on 4OD still, about a criminal family in Brighton. And finally the terrific Line of Duty if you've not seen that already.
