Weekly Ratings Roundup (14 Feb - 20 Feb 2022)

 This week, we saw some dips and rises, but let's take a look at the overall week, and all the posts associated.

So, for the first time in a while, I popped up a 'Top 30' chart. These take a long while to do, but give such an in-depth look into how the week is looking, ratings wise. As you can see, the finale of Call the Midwife kept it at the top of the chart, besting the likes of Trigger Point and The Apprentice. I would follow this with the 'Top 10' chart, but since it's all here, I'll just keep this one up and available to click & zoom. 

It was a mixed week when peak audiences are considered. A lot of gains, however, especially for Channel 4 which had Gogglebox take it up 2.2 million. On the smaller channels, only slight alterations were made, all smaller than the 100k mark. 

I took Channel 5 this week, and showed off its top ten. There's a lot of content to explore, and with so many shows battling it out, it's only fair it gets some time to shine. Ben Fogle took the top spot, by quite some distance, but Dogs Behaving Badly, Jane McDonald's Yorkshire and 22 Kids and Counting all stuck up there. The 'After Dark' shows also reached the top of the charts!

Now, let's look at some tweets:

With official figures now available, it shows that the 2022 series of #SaturdayNightTakeaway began with 7.46 million viewers. This is down just over a million on the last series’ opener, but comfortably above the audience for the finale of the 2021 series (6m).

Episode 3’s figures for #DragRaceUK are now available. It had 699k watching, dropping again, but by only 87k, and down only 246k on the opening episode of the ‘Vs The World’ series.

#NoReturn continued with an audience of 3.91m, somewhat heavily down on the 5.3m opening, and slipping out of ITV’s top 15 for the week. Even still, it’s not a bad figure for drama in 2022.

ITV’s #Starstruck managed to maintain quite a lot of its audience from episode 1’s 4.31m. On Saturday 19th, 3.76m people tuned in, down just over 500k. This put it in 23rd for the week on ITV.

Beyond that, as always, we take a look a the box office:

Uncharted continued with a really solid performance this weekend, slipping only $1.3m dollars from last weekend's figure. Beyond that, Sing 2 entered its 4th week in the charts, down a TINY 0.05m, remaining incredibly consistent. Death on the Nile managed to maintain its position, but slips almost 30%, yet does settle with a $6.4m dollar gross in the UK. Dog entered the chart this week in 4th, taking a rather weak $1.1m, which only narrowly beat out Belfast which took its total gross up to $17.7m in its fifth week.

With that... On to next week!
