May 12, 20187 yr Looking at this viewing figures over the last week, it really does feel like the BBC is collapsing. Charlotte Moore is truly running it into the ground, alarm bells should be ringing at this stage.

May 12, 20187 yr I think the constant £1,000 wins would have been what harmed Millionaire considering the ratings went back up when people actually did well. It certainly did better thanthe ~3m it was getting at the end of its run. Hopefully it will be back again.
May 12, 20187 yr I think that's really decent for Millionaire given the generally low figures at the moment and weather considerations! I imagine it could really grow if it gets a second week-long run in Autumn.

The event rated 5.86m (28.0%) during the BGT clash and 7.41m (46.6%) once BGT had finished. I've added in The Button repeat because I find it fascinating how it rates not far from what the original airing rates at 8:30pm on Friday! :lol: This repeat aired even later than usual due to Eurovision and still gets almost 1m. BGT managed 7.96m (36.8%) when it clashed with Eurovision last year so that's a big drop year-on-year, although only 240k down week-on-week. -x- Sunday 13th May BBC 1 18:00 The A-Z of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show - 2.33m (17.3%) [Peak: 2.92m (20.0%) at 18:55] 19:00 Countryfile - 4.56m (27.8%) [Peak: 5.56m (31.5%) at 19:50] 20:00 The British Academy Television Awards - 3.48m (18.9%) [Peak: 4.42m (24.3%) at 21:55] ITV (inc. +1) 19:00 Little Big Shots - 2.10m (12.8%) [Peak: 2.85m (16.3%) at 19:55] 20:00 Midsomer Murders - 4.74m (25.4%) [Peak: 5.09m (27.7%) at 20:20] Channel 4 (inc. +1) 18:00 Formula 1: Spanish Grand Prix Highlights - 2.33m (16.0%) BAFTA TV Awards Ratings* 2011: 5.36m (22.0%) 2012: 3.53m (16.2%) 2013: 6.03m (25.2%) 2014: 5.11m (23.5%) 2015: 5.26m (24.2%) 2016: 4.50m (22.6%) 2017: 3.74m (18.8%) 2018: 3.48m (18.9%) *Since regularly airing in May.

May 18, 20187 yr Wow Eastenders is getting TROUNCED If Hollyoaks was on at the same time as the other soaps, EE would now likely be fourth No it wouldn’t :lol: To be fair, it’s a poor rating but the % is pretty much what it’s been getting for months. Emmerdale and Corrie are killing it in the ratings atm though! Do you get the ratings from the DS thread Liam? What a nightmare that is :’)

May 19, 20187 yr Wonder what the wedding will rate on the BBC and ITV. At least over 10m viewers I would think.
