Channel4 already struggling ratings wise.
 

Saturday:

9pm - 9/11 state of emergency - 2.5m (Inc.+1)
10.15pm - Witness - 727k

Sunday:

7pm - 9/11 faker - 1.4m (Inc.+1)
8pm - Fools gold - 1.8m (Inc.+1)
10.15pm - Four weddings and a funeral - 750k (Inc.+1)

And tonigt they will strugge:

Monday:

8pm - The trouble with the pope (probably 1.4m)
9pm - My families crazy gap year (got 1.3m last week)
10pm - Jamies american food revelution (probably 1.8m)

because four weddings and a funeral was going to be such a ratings smash. to be fair there's nothing remotely buzz worthy up there. i'm sure it'll pick up during primtime in the week.

When the housewives come back hopefully they will go up

They arent terrible just wish channel4 still had bb :)

its no surprise,e4 is better anyway.

Probably, slightly. S5 and 6 were awful but 7 might be the last to feature all the housewives so maybe Ch4 will promote it that way.
