Channel 4's new Davina McCall gameshow gets 1.9m viewers, double the network's usual showing in its 10pm slot
Channel 4's new gameshow hosted by Davina McCall, The Million Pound Drop Live, made a promising start last night, Monday 24 May.
The Million Pound Drop attracted 1.946 million viewers and a 10.8% audience share from 10pm. A further 204,000 (2.2%) watched on Channel 4 +1.
This was more than double Channel 4's average audience share in the 10pm hour over the past three months and the best-performing show by this comparison yesterday.
The Million Pound Drop Live, in which contestants start with £1m and lose money when they get questions wrong, is being stripped every night until Saturday on Channel 4.
ITV1's live coverage of England's 3-1 friendly international football victory over Mexico dominated peaktime viewing, attracted 8.639 million (37.1%) over two hours from 7.45pm. Full coverage averaged 7.15 million (31.6%) between 7.30pm and 10.10pm.
ITV1 HD got its biggest audience since launching in April with the England friendly coverage, averaging 459,000 (2%).
This bodes well for HD viewing of the upcoming football World Cup, with matches to be broadcast live on ITV1 HD and BBC HD.
