UK TV Ratings Top 30 (1 Mar - 7 Mar)

Piers Morgan's Life Stories dips below two million. Unforgotten leads a very tight race to take first place for the week. 


Monday continues its reign as the best performing night with Unforgotten taking first place. Seven shows from Monday managed to take the top 30. Tuesday achieved the lowest placement with the BBC News at Six managing 16th place. However, although slight alterations in placing, the top three keeps with the same three shows. Unforgotten sees a slight rise in viewership on episode one, jumping from 7.4 million to 7.7 million. The share went from 29.1% to 28.0% however. Bloodlands sat very slightly behind it with just under 7.7 million watching, also up on last week and taking a share of 30.0%. Ant & Dec took a slight hit, however, taking them to third from last week's figure of 8 million meaning just over 500k were lost. 

Elsewhere in the top 30, Attenborough's Life in Colour continues to perform reasonably well with 5.4 million tuning in for this instalment (26.1%), only down around 300k. McDonald & Dodds continues with rather secure figures, dropping to nineteenth place from 10th, but only losing 600k (21.3%). Masterchef had a few episodes peaking into the top 30 in 22nd, 25th, and 30th with the Friday episode achieving a 22% audience share. Gogglebox keeps climbing too, this week reaching a rather brilliant 6.4 million (32.5%). 

To the soaps, Coronation Street remains on top with a high of 6.6 million (up 200k). Emmerdale reached highs of 5.42 million (down 40k). EastEnders managed to hover above the 5 million mark with 5.06 million as a high this time around, but down on last week's peak of 5.3 million. Hollyoaks had a peak audience of 836k (down by 10k). Neighbours achieved 1.05 million at its highest on Channel 5, up every so slightly on the 1 million figure from last week. To finish this section, Home and Away had its highest audience on Friday with 481k viewers, slightly up on the last. 

Elsewhere on TV and outside of the top 30, Dancing On Ice continued with its reduced audience. This time with 4.31 million watching. This figure is up on last week by around 150k, but still much less than the series began with. However, it had a healthy share of 32.7%. Marcella had two episodes airing this week, which brought the series to a close. The first achieving an audience of 2.37 million (14.9%), and the second having 2 million. The latter had a considerably higher share of 26% with its rather late broadcast time. Piers Morgan's Life Stories continued with a rather weak 1.95 million (12.6%). The Voice UK also continued with 4.52 million and a 32.1% share. 

Love Island: Australia performed reasonably well for ITV2 with the Monday night instalment reaching 659k across all platforms. The Great Pottery Throwdown keeps doing well on Channel 4 with 3.18 million tuning in this week. The Great had 1.28 million watching (8.0%). 

On W, Emma Willis Delivering Babies had 148k watching on Monday. Doctor Who repeats charted too, with 'School Reunion' reaching 68k and 'The Impossible Planet' reaching 48k.
