Not really, it wouldn't really tell us anything that the 5 minute peak doesn't and it would be more susceptible to statistical anomalies as ratings are calculated using sample data.

I might not be back if we don't get that one hour later in the series, or at least a good technical explanation for why they now can't do it.

Edited my post. I meant the amount of people who watched at some point during the original broadcast, the highest 5 minute average is the peak. Though neither include repeats other than +1, they're only included in the officials.

TBH I didn't think it was dude - I thought only the forums missed it.

But today in school people kept saying to me,
'Why can't you watch it on the red button afterwards anymore?' I was just like

In a way, I was annoyed at them for only realizing 4 years on that the red button was gone - but I'm relieved that alot of people outside these forums also miss Live Feed, I put a status on Facebook earlier about it and expected to be called sad, and it got a great response from 'the casual viewer' aswell.

January already proved that it wasn't just the forums.

Glad to hear this as it only shows that it's not just the hardcore fans that appreciate the feed. It's a necessity.

Whatever the ratings is, I'm sure it was high for a Channel 5 show.
