01 Race Across The World 5.943m
02 Britain's Got Talent 5.322m
03 Clarkson's Farm (episodes 5 & 6) 4.334m
04 Coronation Street 4.071m

07 Emmerdale 3.753m
08 EastEnders 3.446m

14 BBC News at Ten 2.636m
15 Code Of Silence 2.627m
16 The Bombing Of Pan Am 103 2.553m
17 Casualty 2.481m
18 Clarkson's Farm (episodes 1 - 4) 2.417m
19 Walking With Dinosaurs 2.466m
20 Countryfile 2.263m
 
I've separated episodes 5+6 of Clarkson's Farm as these dropped in this week, whereas 1 - 4 were the previous week - so that figure is in addition to the figures last week and it has about 6.9m to date, which is pretty astonishing for Prime.

Dept Q got 2.888m for episode one for Netflix and 2.381m for episode two, but none of the other seven episodes charted, so it's hard to make a decent estimate - and I imagine it would likely fall just below this chart.
 
That was the final of Britain's Got Talent, coming in just above the series average of 5.249m.

Predictably the lowest rated final yet, down from the previous low of 6.04m last year. It was still the #1 ITV programme for half its run though, and never out of the ITV top 3.

Another reason to love Race Across The World is it keeping that piece of shit Jeremy Clarkson off the number one spot

Barb, the industry’s standard for understanding what people watch, has released data from its Establishment Survey showing that 20.1m UK homes (67.5%) had access to a subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service in Q1 2025. This is a slight increase from 20m UK homes in Q4 2024.

The service-level subscriptions data are as follows:

Netflix: 17.4m UK homes (59.2%) had access to Netflix in Q1 2025, up from 17.1m in Q4 2024. In Q1 2025, 28% of Netflix homes were on its ad tier: 4.8m UK homes (16.4%), slightly up from 4.7m in Q4 2024.


Amazon Prime Video: 13.4m UK homes (45.7%) had access to Amazon Prime Video in Q1 2025, slightly up from 13.3m in Q4 2024. Due to a different approach to moving homes to its ad tier, in Q1 2025, 87% of Amazon Prime Video homes were on its ad tier: 11.7m UK homes (39.9%), slightly up from 11.6m in Q4 2024.


Disney+: 7.3m UK homes (24.8%) had access to Disney+ in Q1 2025, down from 7.6m in Q4 2024. In Q1 2025, 23% of Disney+ homes were on its ad tier: 1.7m UK homes (5.8%), up from 1.5m in Q4 2024.


Discovery+: 3.1m UK homes (10.6%) had access to Discovery+ in Q1, level with Q4 2024.


Paramount+: 3.1m UK homes (10.5%) had access to Paramount+ in Q1 2025, up from 2.7m in Q4 2024.


Apple TV+: 2.7m UK homes (9.1%) had access to Apple TV+ in Q1 2025, slightly up from 2.6m in Q4 2024.


NOW: 1.8m UK homes (6.2%) had access to NOW in Q1, down from 2m in Q4 2024.


Doug Whelpdale, Head of Insight at Barb said:

“20.1m UK homes accessed at least one pure-play VOD service in Q1 2025, showing continued stability in the market. The number of homes with two or more services grew for the first time since Q2 2024, reaching a new high watermark of almost 14.1m homes.

“Paramount+ was the service with the largest growth in the absolute number of homes, adding 430k over the quarter to stand +16% on Q4 2024 and +19% on Q1 2024. The latest series of 1923 was a notable content release for the service in Q1, but another factor may be the release of Yellowstone series 1-4 on Netflix at the end of January. During Q1, series five of Yellowstone accounts for five of the top ten most-viewed programmes on Paramount+ that were not new releases. Potentially those viewing on Netflix went on to join Paramount+ to find out what happens at the end of the series.”

That's the series average audience, not the peak. It doesn't state what period viewing covers, although I'm guessing it is at least 28 day viewing and possibly longer, as those figures are considerably higher than the 7 day figures in the weekly charts.

Interesting that they are all UK productions, with the exception of Death In Paradise, which apparently is a UK/France co-production.
 
The biggest shock for me on that list is that Strictly is low and IACGMOOH is still up there after all these years. :o
 
Well I knew IACGMOOH was still popular but all you tend to hear about is how many viewers it is losing year on year.

It was Bake Off beating Strictly that surprised me most
 
June 9 - 15

01 Race Across The World 6.547m
02 Coronation Street 4.096m
03 Emmerdale 3.689m
04 Death Valley 3.410m
05 BBC News at Six 3.046m
06 EastEnders 3.041m
07 International Football: England vs Senegal 3.031m
08 Celebrity Gogglebox 2.883m
09 Antiques Roadshow 2.808m
10 Soccer Aid for UNICEF 2.684m
11 The Gold 2.632m
12 Casualty 2.588m
13 Not Going Out 2.541m
14 Blankety Blank 2.539m
15 BBC News at Ten 2.534m
16 Who Do You Think You Are? 2.431m
17 Shardlake 2.238m
18 Pointless Celebrities 2.214m
19 Love Island 2.201m
20 Ambulance 2.180m
 
Looks like Love Island is just over 10% down across the week on last year - but I don't think it was broadcast simultaneously on ITV1 and ITV2 for the launch show this year was it? I'm sure that would count for a not insignificant proportion of the difference.

Still nearly a 60% audience share amongst 16 - 34 year olds though, so I'm sure it remains lucrative in terms of selling advertising.

Death Valley not quite holding up like the other BBC cosy crime hits.

Obviously the ratings are all low but to see an old cancelled Disney+ show making the top 20 is something. I assume ITV got it cheap.

I read the other day they have bought Renegade Nell from Disney+ as well, although I think that's been dumped on ITVX rather than broadcast weekly.

You know viewing figures are in the doldrums when Casualty is within striking distance of the top ten.

I was imagining that the reunion episode of RATW might be at risk of not making #1, but unless something big was on last week I've forgotten about, I imagine it still stands a good chance.

The SuperTV account has posted 'false alarm' now, citing the Daily Star for reporting the cancellation originally. Strange that they didn’t credit it in the first place...

Three episodes of Squid Game did chart, but three didn't and I have no further info, so I'd struggle to give a strong estimate. The top episode (the second one, somewhat strangely) got 2.756m. Episode 5 got 2.073m, and episode 1 got 2.018m.
 
4 Million getting the number 1 is just madness though. Viewing is just so spread out across the platforms.
 
Apologies for lateness. BARB was late to update - I kept an eye on it for a few days and then forgot all about it for a few more. So the Wimbledon figures are from the first week. I didn't follow it to know who was playing the matches with the higher audiences. I assume some involve the defeat of a plucky Brit. I've included the broadcast time, if it helps anyone identify the matches.
