SATUDAY 1.9M
On Channel 4 at 9pm, 1.9m (10%) tuned in to watch the Saturday highlights of Big Brother. The no. of viewers on C4+1 are currently unavailable, but will be posted on Monday.

It was a very low night of ratings yesterday, with Casualty being the top show with 4.8m (26%). No other show on TV passed the 4m mark. There were far fewer people watching television last night compared to normal, unsurpringly due to the summer holidays and weather.

Big Brother came third in its slot behind BBC1 and ITV1. Casualty won the slot, and Foyle’s War came second with 3.4m (19%). Big Brother was the most watched show yesterday on Channel 4, BBC2 and Five.



SUNDAY 2.9M
It was the least watched Sunday show since week 3, when only 2.7m (11%) tuned in.

The low figures for the last two days is predominantly to do with the extremely good weather. The number of people watching television over the weekend was the lowest of the year.

ITV1 won the slot yesterday, with Midsomer Murders attracting 6.6m (30%).

Also, confirmation of Friday and Saturday’s ratings (which include C4+1) are in. On Friday, the first show got 3.8m (18%). The second show at 10.35pm rated with 3.2m (19%). On Saturday, the highlights show passed the 2m mark with 2.3m (12%).
