UK TV Ratings (31 December 2018 - 6 January 2019)

UK TV Ratings

31 December 2018 - 6 January 2019

Luther's fifth series stays above 7 million. Manhunt opened with amazing audiences on ITV and the Doctor Who New Year's Day Special is up on its series finale. The Voice UK drops very slightly from last year's opener. 

All figures are shown in this format "0.00 (0.00)" which indicates two separate figures. The first one is the viewership on TV alone. The second figure that's bracketed is for 'All platforms' which includes PC, tablet and mobile viewing. This second figure is a much more accurate depiction of viewership in the UK. All figures are in millions unless shown as '000k.' All figures are courtesy of BARB TV.

Idris Elba as the title role in Luther.
