Strictly was over 10m from 19:20 to 20:30.

Really impressive how Strictly seems to have become even more successful this year! The collapse of X Factor has probably helped a lot!

The X Factor rated 6.52m outside of the Strictly clash.

3.69m people were brave enough to watch Lithuania v England where England only scored with a penalty.

 

 

Better for X Factor but still down on where it should be!

Monday 9th October

BBC 1

19:00 The One Show - 3.50m (18.8%)

21:00 Liar - 5.80m (28.4%)

 

On Monday, the #GoldenMinuteUK went again to @itvcorrie: at 19.51, 7.9m were watching ITV

Highest rating for Emmerdale since 23 January. Eastenders seems like it is being affected by the crap ratings surrounding it and the strong ratings on ITV; it should really be hitting 6m on Mondays.

Never thought I'd see the day that ANTIQUES ROADSHOW (!) would beat the X Factor on the official ratings :o

Liar has done brilliantly for ITV!

#GBBO #ItalianWeek gave @Channel4 yesterday's #GoldenMinuteUK At 21.03, 7.5m were watching the #showstoppers @LoveProductions

Our Girl Series Openers

Series 1 (2014): 3.91m (16.9%)

Series 2 (2016): 3.77m (22.9%)

Series 3 (2017): 4.03m (21.0%)

 

Not having that 15 minute clash with Doctor Foster has really helped Bake Off - that's the highest since the first episode received 6.52m. In fact, excluding +1, it beat the first episode too.

Wednesday 11th October

BBC 1

19:00 The One Show - 3.09m (17.0%)

20:00 Eat Well for Less? - 4.06m (21.0%)

21:00 The Apprentice - 5.06m (24.3%)

20:30 Coronation Street - 5.58m (27.8%)

21:00 Doc Martin - 5.07m (24.4%)

 

Another Wednesday, another #GoldenMinuteUK for @itvcorrie: at 19.56, 7.4m were watching the @ITV soap.

Good that The Apprentice rose week-on-week and made the 5m mark. It'll be getting hard competition than Doc Martin when I'm a Celebrity returns so it needs to do as well as possible in the meantime. Doc Martin, however, remains unfazed (it's ratings the past three episodes have been 5.07m, 5.06m and 5.07m!).

Bringing back the 28-day data posts. I'll post the Top 10 ratings of the week (including +1 where necessary) followed by other notable shows / notable rises.

 

BARB's 28-Day Data (4th September - 10th September)

10.60m | Strictly Come Dancing (+ 310k)

10.40m | Doctor Foster (+ 1.68m)

9.53m | The Great British Bake Off (+ 300k)

8.67m | Strike: The Silkworm (+ 1.36m)

8.02m | Coronation Street (Wed) (+ 120k)

7.57m | The X Factor (Sun) (+ 110k)

7.47m | Coronation Street (Fri; P1) (+ 110k)

7.37m | Eastenders (Thu) (+ 140k)

7.31m | Eastenders (Tue) (+ 140k)

7.29m | Coronation Street (Fri; P2) (+ 130k)

 

7.23m | The X Factor (Sat) (+ 130k)

6.93m | Victoria (+ 370k)

6.46m | Cold Feet (+ 720k)

5.09m | Safe House (+ 480k)

In regards to the most watched programmes of 2017 so far (7-day data and including +1), this year has seen 7 programmes pass the 10m mark. Last year had a total of 11 programmes pass 10m. We've got the likes of Blue Planet II, I'm a Celebrity and the New Year's' Eve fireworks coming up which are all likely to reach 10m, which would take us up to 10. I think that the Bake Off final could actually hit 10m too, which would match last year's 11 programmes.

 

Can't think of anything else that is due to air this year that could get 10m, but I suppose something at Christmas could possibly stand a chance at doing so.

For the third Thursday in a row, #Emmerdale gave @ITV the #GoldenMinuteUK: At 19.10, 6.3m were watching @emmerdale. @EmmerdalePress

.

#TheBigBangTheory S11 on @E4Tweets watched by 1.1m/5.9%. First tx since May to break a million viewers on E4 (also #TBBT)

#RedDwarfXII debuted on @davechannel with 700k/3.7%: it's the most watched programme on Dave in 2017 @DougRDNaylor @RedDwarfHQ @babycowLtd

Ambulance ended on a series high last night; an average of 3.69m watched the full series.

Hope Bake Off gets 7m for the final

The last series of Bake Off saw its finale jump 3.62m from the 10.38m average the series rated in the first nine episodes before it. I don't know if Channel 4 will see that sort of jump but a 2m increase definitely seems plausible which would actually push them into the 8m region. That would likely give it a 10m+ rating in the official ratings published by BARB, too.

Oh that’s great

The last episode on BBC might have influenced that a little more than usual. 2015’s jump may be a better reference point :thinking:

The last episode on BBC might have influenced that a little more than usual. 2015’s jump may be a better reference point :thinking:

That had an even bigger jump - 3.88m up from the average of 9.52m for the first 9 episodes.

Fair enough! I’ll climb back in my box :lol:

It's alright, I thought you might have been onto something there! :lol: I think this year's final could even exceed most of our expectations tbh. I don't watch the programme but it would be nice if it could remain stable on Channel 4 in following series.
