Eastenders back under 6m but exceptionally good ratings for Coronation Street and Emmerdale stays steady. Other highlights: Graham Norton back over 3m, The Chase back over 4m and the 6pm news strong across both main channels.

Re: UK TV Ratings Topic

I helped those Corrie ratings. First time I’ve watched in months, was decent.

[Wayne]

I'm more surprised by how strong the second showing of Corrie was than the first - it so often loses a million+ viewers,

I'm not at all clued up with the soaps these days so cannot vouch for quality either way, but there's been a clear (and consistent) uptick in viewers since 2018 came around.

Is it typical that more people watch soaps in January, maybe due to more people staying in?

[hun]

Re: UK TV Ratings Topic

Yeah, the ratings in Jan and Feb are always the highest for the soaps

Everyone's skint and depressed - they stay in and watch everybody else's problems.

Everyone's skint and depressed - they stay in and watch everybody else's problems.

Watching EastEnders certainly makes me feel less depressed about my own life.

Re: UK TV Ratings Topic

That’s quite low for Casualty. Saturday nights are quite low rated in January it seems.

[hun]

Re: UK TV Ratings Topic

What do you expect when there’s nothing good on?

[Spartan]

What do you expect when there’s nothing good on?

True dat. CBB was especially low.

[BehindBreakaway]

What do you expect when there’s nothing good on?

True dat. CBB was especially low.

Combined with 5star it was still near 1mil which is decent for Saturday night it's always their lowest rating night

Re: UK TV Ratings Topic

People clearly not buzzed about a two and a half hour show concerning dogs.

Great for The Chase though.

Re: UK TV Ratings Topic

WTF at that dog show, 2.5 hours?!?!

Silent Witness is a big ratings hit even after all these years!

[Spartan]

WTF at that dog show, 2.5 hours?!?!

Silent Witness is a big ratings hit even after all these years!

It was literally a countdown of the nation's favourite dog. I mean, there are some people who'd be interested in that but it's a show more suited to E4 or ITV2, not primetime TV.

[Wayne]

Re: UK TV Ratings Topic

For what it's worth, take a look at this:

Silent Witness - Last Week - Consolidated Audiences

Monday - 8.68m (+2.78m - overnight was 5.9m) *
Tuesday - 8.3m (+2.49m - overnight was 5.81m)

* The biggest ever timeshift for Silent Witness.

Frankly speaking, it's the biggest thing on TV at the moment.

I didn't realise people still actually watched Silent Witness but those figures are incredible. It's not really my cup of tea but Emilia Fox is one of my ladycrushes.

Re: UK TV Ratings Topic

I love it! I got into it about five years ago. Good to see it doing so well.

[Thriller]

Great ratings for DOI, although I suspect it was curiosity more than anything. I personally found the opening show far too drawn out. Next week's will tell the full story.

It dropped to 6m for the second episode! Obviously a lot of people thought the same as me.

6 is still very very good. Beat the x factor by a million. I am enjoying it
