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.

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.
