Friday 11 May 2012

Coronation Street topped the soaps ratings on Friday, according to early overnight data.

Lesley's death was seen by 7.79m (38%) at 7.30pm, then 8.41m (35.7%) tuned in for the aftermath at 8.30pm (+1: 297k).

EastEnders logged 7.16m (32.9%) for BBC One at 8pm, adding 631k (3.2%) at 10pm for BBC Three's repeat. The show has rebounded following its clash with Britain's Got Talent's live semi-finals. The EastEnders Omnibus interested 369k (3.8%) at 12.05am.

Zak Dingle's moors rampage was seen by 6.34m (33.7%) at 7pm.

Seeing as the soaps have obviously been affected by BGT, I thought I'd post how BGT performed throughout last week, too:

Monday 7 May 2012

The second live semi-final of Britain's Got Talent neared 10 million last night with timeshift figures included, according to overnight data.

The ITV1 reality show grabbed 9.4m (35.6%) from 7.30pm with a further 384k (1.5%) on +1 - an improvement over figures for the opening semi-final. The results show took 8.35m (32.4%) from 9.30pm (+1: 343k/2.1%).

Tuesdy 8 May 2012

Britain's Got Talent fell in the ratings for last night's semi-final but was still dominant, according to overnight data.

The reality show managed 7.8m (33.5%) on ITV1 from 7.30pm (+1: 365k/1.5%). An average of 9.4m had tuned in live on Monday (May 8).

Britain's Got Talent's results show attracted 6.86m (27.8%) with an additional 317k (2.2%) on timeshift.

Wednesday 9 May 2012

Britain's Got Talent's results show overpowered The Apprentice last night, according to overnight data.

The latest semi-final results averaged 7.01m (27.3%) from 9.30pm (+1: 364k/2.3%) while Lord Sugar's reality show generated 5.94m (22.9%) in the 9pm hour.

The Apprentice, however, maintained consistent week-on-week (only slightly dropping from 6.1m the previous Wednesday) despite tougher competition last night in its timeslot.

Britain Got Talent's main show recovered from its slump on Tuesday (May 8) by logging in 8.97m (37.6%) from 7.30pm and 206k (0.8%) on timeshift.

Thursday 10 May 2012

Britain's Got Talent saw a sharp rise for its last semi-final results show last night (May 10), early overnight data reveals.

ITV1's main show slipped slightly to 8.72m (36.6%) from 7.30pm (+1: 249k), but Ryan O'Shaughnessy and Aquabatique's progression to the final was seen by 7.96m (30.2%) at 9.30pm (+1: 274k).

However, the results shows have overall underperformed, with ratings unexpectedly down on last year's semi-final week.

Saturday 12 May 2012

Britain's Got Talentended with a huge audience of 11.9m last night (Saturday), becoming the most-watched show of the year so far.

Ashleigh & Pudsey's win was seen by 11.38m (46.4%) between 7.30pm and 10pm, peaking with 13.8m in the last five minutes, and adding 496k (2.2%) on ITV1 +1.

Britain's Got More Talentbowed out with 1.59m (8.2%) immediately after the main show, grabbing an extra 128k on timeshift.

So not a great week of ratings from BGT, particularly in comparion to previous years, with only Saturday redeeming the whole week, to be honest. I'll post some more ratings for BGT (from previous years) later.

How is this soap ratings? :conf2:

It was just the fact that BGT obviously had an effect on the ratings for the soaps, so I posted them for the sake of seeing the actual competition...which, as we can see, wasn't too immense...

Wednesday 16 May 2012

Emmerdale was the most-watched soap of the day, attracting 6.06m (32.0%) at 7pm and 244k (1.2%) on +1 with Sean's desperate lies about Ruby

Thursday 17 May 2012

EastEnders had 7.7m viewers on Thursday evening (May 17) with the continuing aftermath of Heather Trott's murder, overnight figures show.

The Walford soap pulled in 7.68m (36.2%) at 7.30pm on BBC One as Phil made an emotional plea for Ian to keep Ben's guilty secret. BBC Three's repeat screening secured 763k (3.9%) at 10pm.

Friday 18 May 2012

EastEnders picked up an impressive audience on Friday night, capping a stronger week for the BBC soap.

BBC One's first showing of Ian Beale's breakdown was watched by 7.49m (33.6%) at 8pm, then 697k (3.6%) caught up on BBC Three at 10pm.

Meanwhile, the EastEnders Omnibus pulled in 296k (7.3%) from just after midnight.

Coronation Street led the pack with almost identical audiences of 7.65m (34.2%) at 7.30pm (+1: 188k) and 7.64m (32.8%) at 8.30pm (+1: 263k) for its double bill.

Emmerdale logged 6.2m (30.9%) at 7pm (+1: 215k).

Monday 21 May 2012

Coronation Street topped the soap ratings on Monday evening (May 21) with Eva Price's misguided revenge attempt, overnight figures show.

Coronation Street pulled in 8.05m (38.7%) at 7.30pm and 175k (0.8%) on +1 as Eva sabotaged Nick's big event at the Bistro, while 8.16m (35.0%) watched at 8.30pm and 310k (1.4%) on timeshift as the blonde's wrong suspicions led to chaos on the cobbles.

EastEnders, meanwhile, attracted 7.16m (32.3%) at 8pm as Ian ploughed ahead with plans to marry Mandy and leave Walford. BBC Three's repeat screening had 613k (3.2%) at 10pm.

Emmerdale interested 6.22m (33.5%) at 7pm with Declan's latest visit to Robbie, adding 116k (0.5%) on +1.

Tuesday 22 May 2012

Emmerdale picked up 5.59m (33.8%) for ITV1 at 7pm (+1: 184k), while EastEnders could only muster a mediocre audience of 6.41m (35.3%), for its first showing at 7.30pm, but a hefty 961k (5.1%) joined the Albert Square soap at 10pm on BBC Three.

Their relatively stable audience shares (%) suggest the dips were typical of many of last night's programming.

Wednesday 23 May 2012

Emmerdale was Wednesday evening's (May 23) most-watched soap as the Robbie Lawson storyline continued, overnight figures show.

The ITV1 serial pulled in 5.72m (34.8%) at 7pm and 192k (1.0%) on +1 as Megan Macey lashed out at half-brother Declan upon hearing that he had been contacting Robbie in secret.

Thursday 24 May 2012

Coronation Street was Thursday's (May 24) most-watched soap on another relatively low-rating evening, overnight figures show.

Coronation Street pulled in 6.83m (32.9%) at 8.30pm and 289k (1.4%) on timeshift as Kirsty became violent with Tyrone for a second time.


EastEnders, meanwhile, attracted 6.32m (36.2%) at 7.30pm as Ian's worrying behaviour continued. BBC Three's repeat screening secured a strong 775k (5.3%) at 10.30pm.

Emmerdale interested 5.24m (33.2%) at 7pm with Val's return to the village, while 5.73m (30.2%) tuned in at 8pm and 191k (1.0%) on +1 to see the subsequent fallout for Eric, Amy and Brenda.

Once again, the stable audience shares (%) for the big three soaps suggest that the dips in raw numbers were caused by fewer people watching television due to the sunny weather.

Once again, I've just copied and pasted, as I just can't be bothered transfering all that information into channel sections and a decent amount of decimal places and all that for a week and a bit's worth of episodes.

I'm guessing the low ratings are due to the weather?

Yeah, but the good thing is the shares (%) are still stable, which just proves that more people are making the most of the sunshine instead of watching television. Normally, 6.5m would be around 30% but throughout the week that 30% has been more suited to fit 34-36% because about 4-6% of people aren't watching television.

Friday 25 May 2012

Coronation Street has bucked the trend in the ratings as its Friday 8.30pm episode rose week-on-week to 7.9 million.

Warm weather has affected all the soaps this week, but its later edition - which saw Carla try to bribe Leanne over Simon - grabbed 7.65m (37.7%) and 281k on ITV1 +1.

Meanwhile at 7.30pm, Tyrone's fury at Kirsty's violence was seen by 7.11m, commanding an impressive share of 40.3% at 7.30pm, with an extra 138k watching on timeshift.

EastEnders logged 5.97m (32.1%) at 8pm and and 622k (3.4%) for 10pm's BBC Three repeat for Ian Beale's disastrous wedding day.

The EastEnders Omnibus, which aired at midnight, took an increased audience of 333k (8%).

Emmerdale interested 5.35m (34.5%) at 7pm and 115k on ITV1 +1 for Pollard's romantic dilemma, while Callum's troubles in Hollyoaks were watched by 645k (4.5%) at 6.30pm.

Solid share for Coronation Street's first edition [7.11m (40.3%)], but abysmal ratings for EastEnders. The fact that it's on the same million level as Emmerdale isn't good.

how EE wins i do not no - to many teenie poppers watching this - its so boring.
