Sunday 20th January

BBC 1

19:00 Antiques Roadshow - 5.84m (28.0%)

20:00 Call the Midwife - 7.02m (30.4%)

 

ITV

18:00 Dancing On Ice - 5.4m (26.6%)

20:10 Vera - 5.5m (26%)

 

Call the Midwife climbing above the 7m! This series has been getting a good reception and that appears to be benefitting the ratings. I think when Vera finishes in two weeks time, its ratings will jump to the 7.5m mark, depending on what replaces Vera.

 

Dancing On Ice and Vera rating very similar to last week too.

6.42m - Emmerdale [6.08m - 6.03m - 6.79m - 6.66m / 6.38m - 6.58m]

6.02m - Eastenders [5.83m - 5.84m - 6.12m / 5.97m - 6.34m]

 

Manhunt and Luther were both above 9m with all devices included. In the opening post I've replaced the Most Watched Programmes after 28 days with the Most Watched Programmes using 4 screens data.

Monday 21st January

BBC 1

20:00 Eastenders - 4.97m (25.5%)

-

21:00 Silent Witness - 5.06m (26.4%)

 

ITV

21:00 Cold Feet - 3.7m (19.2%)

 

-x-

 

Silent Witness and Eastenders pretty much swap ratings in comparison to last week. Silent Witness above the 5m mark looks much nicer.

 

Some consolidated ratings for the week 7th to 13th January, including all devices:

 

Call the Midwife joins Luther and Manhunt on the list of programmes to pass 9m in the ratings, adding over 2m to its overnight to bring its total to 9.11m. Vera rated 8.05m (up 2.45m from its overnight), Cleaning Up rated 8.68m (up 2.68m), the first episode of Silent Witness rated 7.63m (up 3.62m). Manhunt had an average of 8.97m across its three episodes (8.75m for just TV sets) which is the best average for a new ITV drama since Broadchurch in 2013.

Tuesday 22nd January

BBC 1

19:00 The One Show - 3.74m (20.3%)

19:30 Eastenders - 4.90m (25.5%)

-

21:00 Silent Witness - 5.14m (25.7%)

 

ITV

19:30 The National Television Awards - 5.0m (25.8%)

 

Edited to include NTA rating.

 

Not sure what the NTAs got last night yet but the BBC seemed largely unaffected with Eastenders and Silent Witness rating pretty much the same as yesterday.

 

Not great for Eastenders to be under 5m already this early in the year. Hopefully they can be consistently over 5m again when Mel/Hunter and Sharon return next week.

 

Reminder of previous NTA ratings:

 

National Television Awards (Since 2010)

2010: 7.46m (29.6%)

2011: 6.71m (28.4%)

2012: 6.38m (27.1%)

2013: 5.87m (23.6%)

2014: 6.20m (27.4%)

2015: 6.62m (29.5%)

2016: 5.48m (25.5%)

2017: 5.39m (25.3%)

2018: 4.55m (21.9%)

2019: 5.00m (25.8%)

 

Last year saw the awards switch from Wednesday to Tuesday.

Wednesday 23rd January

BBC 1

19:00 The One Show - 3.06m (16.2%)

20:00 DIY SOS: The Big Build (repeat) - 3.06m (15.3%)

21:00 Danny Dyer's Right Royal Family - 2.6m (13.8%)

 

ITV

20:00 Bradley Walsh & Son: Breaking Dad - 4.9m (25.5%)

21:00 Cleaning Up - 4.8m (25.9%)

 

Cleaning Up slows its decline although it won't be wanting to fall any further. Seems like last night's episode was well received with a twist towards the end, so that might help it out.

Thursday 24th January

BBC 1

19:30 Eastenders - 5.12m (28.2%)

-

20:30 Eastenders - 4.15m (21.8%)

21:00 Death in Paradise - 5.37m (27.7%)

 

ITV

21:00 The Paras: Men of War - 1.5m (7.7%)

 

Like last week, Thursday gives Eastenders its highest rating of the week. Don't know what brought it above 5m again, although that was short lived dropping 1m for the second viewing.

 

Death in Paradise slipping away now - last year saw Episode 3 rise from 6.08m to 6.27m so it's nearly 1m down year-on-year.

Friday 25th January

BBC 1

19:00 The One Show - 3.14m (18.2%)

19:30 FA Cup Match of the Day Live: Arsenal vs. Manchester United - 6.13m (31.6%)

21:35 Mrs Brown's Boys (repeat) - 3.02m (19.1%)

19:00 Celebrity Catchphrase - 4.6m

Sunday 27th January

BBC 1

20:00 Call the Midwife - 6.86m (30.3%)

21:00 Les Misérables - 3.74m (18.6%)

 

ITV

18:00 Dancing On Ice - 6.1m (30.8%)

20:00 Vera - 5.8m (27%)

 

Very good for Dancing On Ice to be back above 6m - from what I hear it seems like an entertaining series even with the Gemma Collins drama aside! Seems to be helping out Vera too which achieves its highest rating this series.

 

Not good for The Greatest Dancer; seems like losing the Michael McIntyre lead in has had a negative effect, despite having the advantage of a head start on The Voice UK, which continues to pull in stable ratings (although down on last year).

6.62m - Emmerdale [6.70m - 6.47m - 6.61m - 6.51m / 6.63m - 6.82m]

5.53m - Eastenders [5.20m - 6.13m - 5.81m / 4.99m]

EastEnders a distant third in the soap averages.

That’s got to be one of the lowest figures for Casualty in a while?

Tbf it includes a clash episode and Friday 9pm episode (which always bombs in the ratings so I don't know why they persist with showing it there)

19:30 Britain's Top 100 Dogs Live - 2.8m (14.4%)

 

Series high for Silent Witness; still lower than it's used to but at least it is still time-shifting really well.

21:00 Death Row with Trevor McDonald (repeat) - 1.8m (8.7%)

Cleaning Up is really good, are those ratings decent?

They are decent, yes, but it has lost 1.5m viewers since the first episode. I think ITV would probably expect more but it's time shifting well too.
