That's a very weak argument, I'm afraid to say. I would expect someone who's very vocal about the ratings to know that all television has gone down in years. Not 7 years ago EastEnders, for example, logged between 9 and 12 million viewers, a 45-55% share of the entire audience. Since about 2008 it's been down to about 7-9 million viewers, 30-40% of the entire audience.

True, you're posting facts but you can't just post raw data and get a meaningful conclusion - they're a lot more complicated than that...

And, yeah, Euro 2012 did affect everything on television. Are you telling me that a show on Channel 5 - or anywhere, in fact - could fare against 23 million viewers? Is that what you're saying?

G'wan with your ridiculous and ill thought-out logic that falls like a stack of cards whenever anyone who actually knows anything about ratings quotes you. I've said my peace.

I disagree.
