UK TV Ratings (22 March - 28 March 2021)

 Finding Derek performs very well for ITV, as does Beat the Chasers. Line of Duty remains comfortably ahead in a stable top three. 


Our top three this week remains unchanged with Line of Duty taking the top spot once again with over twelve million watching. Once again, Sunday had the best performing show, and Thursday was the weakest again but this time peaking at 21st rather than 22nd. 

Elsewhere in the top 30, Gogglebox moved up into 5th place (up 2 places) with 6.36 million watching, slightly up (34.9%). Bake Off for SU2C slipped to 14th with just under 5.5 million watching (31%). Finding Derek just missed out on the top ten with 5.9 million (23.5%) but still performed well, along with Beat the Chasers which had 5.5 million watching on Saturday (27.0%). Elsewhere in the top thirty, there were a lot of inputs from the news and soaps. Midsomer Murders dropped from 19th to 29th this week with a drop of just over 600k in viewership too (17.8%). 

Moving on to soaps. Of course Coronation Street topped the chart with 6.36 million (down 0.01m). Emmerdale also remained very consistent for its peak figure of 5.39 million (down 0.06m). EastEnders remained in 28th place and was only slightly lower than last week with 4.58 million (down 0.06m). Hollyoaks dropped to 799k for its highest figure (down 0.043m). 913k was the highest figure for Neighbours (down 0.16m). Home and Away was the only soap to see a rise in peak viewership with 569k (up 0.087m). 

Moving out of the top 30, DNA Journey had 3.80 million watching (24.9%). Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly topped the chart for Channel 5 with 1.99 million (11.9%). The Circle performed the best on Friday with 1.52m (14.2%). Taskmaster had 2.71 million watching (15.8%).
