October 25, 20204 yr Very impressive! Only a modest increase for Little Mix and still under 2m which isn't great with Strictly following at such a high rating.
October 28, 20204 yr Bake Off has been smashing it on Channel 4 this year: E1: 6.9m (32.0%) [Peak: 7.9m (36.0%] E2: 6.7m (32.2%) [Peak: 7.6m (36.7%] E3: 6.9m (34.0%) E4: 6.8m (34.3%) [Peak: 7.6m] E5: 6.9m E6: 7.0m (33.0%) [Peak: 7.8m (35.0%] The first episode consolidated to 11.21m across all devices, which the media are reporting to be the highest rating for Channel 4 since Woman of Substance hit 14m way back in 1985! :o (Four Weddings and a Funeral rated 12.4m in 1995 but I'm guessing they've excluded films).
November 1, 20204 yr BBC News special was watched by 14.2m, peaking with 16.3m, as Boris Johnson announced lockdown 2.0. Strictly followed with 10.3m. That's up 1m on last week's debut (9.4m), which was itself one of Strictly's best audiences in two years.

November 1, 20204 yr The TV ratings in general are going to be high during lockdown 2, especially for I'm A Celebrity where I think all time records for that show could be broken.

November 9, 20204 yr BBC News and Strictly also extending their 2nd and 3rd places in the top 20 of the year due to Boris' chaotic Halloween lockdown announcement: BBC News (18:30-19:15) / 14,159,000 / 14,376,248 Strictly Come Dancing / 11,719,200 / 11,832,964
November 11, 20204 yr 7.4m for Bake Off - another series high! E1: 6.9m (32.0%) [Peak: 7.9m (36.0%] E2: 6.7m (32.2%) [Peak: 7.6m (36.7%] E3: 6.9m (34.0%) E4: 6.8m (34.3%) [Peak: 7.6m] E5: 6.9m E6: 7.0m (33.0%) [Peak: 7.8m (35.0%] E7: 7.2m (34.6%) E8: 7.4m (34.5%) [Peak: 8.2m]
November 12, 20204 yr 7.4m for Bake Off - another series high! Turns out this is the third highest rating for Bake Off on Channel 4! The 2017 final rated 7.7m and the 2018 final rated 7.5m - the finals usually see a big increase on the series averages so it'll be interesting to see how high this year's final will go. Gogglebox also achieved its highest ever overnight rating last Friday, averaging 4.68m.
November 12, 20204 yr Bake Off is doing so well. It's perfect viewing for 2020 so I'm not surprised to see people flocking to watch it for some escapism. I really hope/think 8m could be in reach for the final!
November 12, 20204 yr The Repair Shop (BBC One) - 5.7m (29.2%) Masterchef: The Professionals (BBC One) - 4.3m (24.5%) The Chase (ITV) - 4.8m (33.4%) Masterchef: The Professionals up over 1m from Tuesday - clearly damaged by going against Bake Off. It's also a good increase from its last series on BBC Two so clearly justified in the move to BBC One. The Chase reached its highest ever overnight yesterday! Incredible rating for a teatime show.
November 12, 20204 yr Bake Off is doing so well. It's perfect viewing for 2020 so I'm not surprised to see people flocking to watch it for some escapism. I really hope/think 8m could be in reach for the final! Definitely! A lot of people started baking during the first lockdown so I guess that might have gained Bake Off some more viewers. Incredible for The Chase! I knew it has long been the most popular teatime programme but still amazing to see it go from strength to strength. To think a lot of dramas struggle to get 4.8m in the overnights nowadays!
November 15, 20204 yr The Saturdays finally beating Little Mix xpAJ-HBCEkM 'One day we can make it just like they have' *.*
November 16, 20204 yr 10.7m for Strictly on Saturday! Looking forward to the I’m a Celeb rating! I’m thinking 11m.
