Will be interesting to see if it can hold up throughout the series but I think ITV will be happy with that.

The series openers have really increased in ratings the past few years; quite remarkable!

If The Halcyon was considered an underperformer, then it doesn't bode well for Next of Kin. Soaps still doing well, with both Corrie and Eastenders receiving 2018 highs and Emmerdale not far off.

January 10, 20187 yr Wow eastenders is suddenly looking respectable!! I wonder if we’ll see it back over 7m overnight quite soon?
January 10, 20187 yr Eastenders needs to accept it is 3rd now in soaps. Maybe one day 4th after Hollyyoaks and its +1.
January 10, 20187 yr Author I read on Digital Spy that changes are coming to the way BARB produces its data. From March, apparently viewing iPlayer/Hub on any device, not just through TV, will be included in the ratings. I suspect this will help Eastenders the most out of the soaps, probably Hollyoaks too.
January 10, 20187 yr The Doctor Who ratings will go through the roof! http://www.idioms4you.com/img/angif-flog-a%20dead-horse-def.jpg
January 10, 20187 yr It will certainly help EastEnders close the gap a bit as it has greater viewing on iPlayer than the ITV soaps have on ITV Hub.

January 13, 20187 yr Author Friday 12th January BBC 1 19:00 The One Show - 3.84m (19.8%) 19:30 A Question of Sport - 3.07m (15.4%) 20:00 EastEnders - 5.95m (29.4%) 20:30 Room 101 - 3.00m (14.2%) 21:00 Would I Lie to You? - 3.68m (18.4%) 21:30 Mrs Brown's Boys (Repeat) - 2.88m (15.1%) - 22:35 The Graham Norton Show - 3.20m (27.4%) [22:45-23:30] ITV (inc. +1) 19:00 Emmerdale - 6.59m (34.0%) 19:30 Coronation Street - 7.21m (36.1%) 20:00 River Monsters - 2.71m (13.4%) 20:30 Coronation Street - 6.95m (32.8%) 21:00 Lethal Weapon - 2.41m (12.3%) Channel 5 (inc. +1) 21:00 Celebrity Big Brother - 1.77m (9.1%) 22:00 Will and Grace - 919k (5.6%) 22:30 Celebrity Big Brother - 1.16m (8.1%) Series 1 of Lethal Weapon opened with 3.16m so last night's was down 750k, however the average for Series 1 over the 18 episodes was 2.26m and only the first and second episodes received higher than last night, so I'd say that's pretty good retention. ITV soaps going strong but a shame to see Eastenders dip under 6m, especially after such solid ratings previously in the week. The Friday slot is clearly a problem, dragged down by mediocre surrounding ratings and a much healthier ITV.
January 13, 20187 yr Author Btw that 7.21m figure for Corrie is its highest regular Friday rating (i.e not including BGT week) since 5th February 2016! :o
January 13, 20187 yr Ratings wise, what is the biggest show in the world? Would it be Eurovision? Heard it gets over 200m live viewers
