Is the Cheat figure just the highest of the four, or have they taken the average over four nights?

That's the average. The highest individual episode was 8.227m.

I have literally watched zero of these programmes...

I have literally watched zero of these programmes...

Looking at how low the viewing figures are, you're probably far from alone.

I imagine I watch an average amount of TV, and I've only seen two myself.

 

[Rita]

That is REALLY LOW for The Voice.

 

[lolly]

That is REALLY LOW for The Voice.

People like the spinning chairs. Once that round has finished - meh.

I'm still watching, though.

So am I. I am rooting for an Olly win. Both of his acts are FANTASTIC.

 

[Rita]

I think I have watched 7 of the Top 20. Low for me.

@Halli All Together Now 3.372m

 

[lolly]

Despite climbing in terms of chart position, EastEnders dips below an average of 5m for the first time.

 

[FetchFugly]

Very good for Line of Duty. Unsurprisingly a bit of a hit taken by Victoria up against it.

The Bay seems to be holding up well. I am still watching but not finding it all that gripping.

 

[lolly]

I've been watching The Bay, although I do feel that over the course of the episodes so far it has descended from enjoyable crap to plain crap. So I don't hold out too much hope for the rest of the run.

 

[Rita]

Very good viewing figures for Line of Duty and The Bay.

 

[lolly]

The first Britain's Got Talent show beat the overnight record so far this year set by Line Of Fire only last week with 8.3m

I'd have thought Line Of Fire would be more likely to get bigger catch up figures, but then BGT benefits from multiple repeats on +1 and ITV2, so I'll be interested to see the final figure.

 

[Mugatu]

It's a terrible programme, I fucking hate it. I know people say The X Factor inspired Black Mirror but Britain's Got Talent is even more culturally vile, it's mean-spirited, simpering shite. And they invented Piers Morgan as a TV personality, I will never forgive that.

 

[lolly]

I don't know that I've ever watched a whole episode of BGT. I've seen a few performances over the years, but I'm pretty sure never a whole episode.

[Rita]

Good figures for BGT.

 

[Rita]

Eastenders just pulling in 5 million is TRAGIC.

Someone save it for GOD SAKES.

 

[Rita]

Or put it out of its misery. One of the two.

 

[Rita]

Victoria also seems to be dropping like a stone.

 

[Slave]

Victoria going up against Line Of Duty was always a disaster waiting to happen.

Line Of Duty is definitely the one to watch live given social media is ablaze with conspiracy theories the moment the show ends. And Victoria seems very MISSABLE - the sort of show you’d watch when it’s on but probably wouldn’t bother to catch up on.

EastEnders is doing really quite badly compared to Emmerdale and Corrie. In fairness they’re only a million down on Emmerdale but when that’s the difference between #5 and #11, they really need to claw something back.

 

[Rita]

From what I understand these figures also include catch up. I can’t get in to Victoria it’s all a bit LA DEE DAH for my tastes.

 

[lolly]

Yes, they do. Victoria only got 2.62m viewers live.

 

[dmlaw]

Countryfile is the 6th most watched program of the week? I assume that this means the only people watching TV are the ones who live too far away from civilization to get good broadband.

 

[Shirley]

Victoria is UTTER SHIT. Which is why I watch it.

 

[Rita]

I want 70 year old Fat Victoria. Nothing else will cut the mustard.

[FetchFugly]

Expecting The Widow to dip going forward, it doesn't seem to have been well-received.

I wonder just how high GoT will climb for the finale in a few weeks. It is obviously a total outlier but it is still strange seeing a Sky Atlantic programme on that list.

 

[Slave]

Surely 4.5 - 5 million must be doable for the GOT finale?

 

[Kala]

It makes you wonder how big Game of thrones would be if it was on a terrestrial channel.

 

[Rita]

Has anyone here been watching Ghosts on BBC1? I don’t think it is worthy of its own topic as I am probably the only one watching, but what a STRANGE programme. I have watched the first 2 episodes and have found myself in hysterics through much of it. It is just so silly.

I watched The Bay through until the bitter end. Part of me hates myself for it.

Same. What a shrug-worthy ending too.

Game of Thrones in the top ten and not too far behind Antiques Roadshow and EastEnders.

 

[Slave]

GOT already shy of 5 million makes me think 6+ million for the final episode

 

[lolly]

GOT actually beat two episodes of EastEnders - just that it had a slightly higher average overall.

 

[SDF]

I know this has already been said but that is phenomenal figure for a show on Sky Atlantic, a channel only about 11 million viewers actually have access to
