So, another week of 2022 has come to an end, so I thought it a good idea to put all my findings (as seen on Twitter) from within this week in one big blog post, from all the charts, to the odd tweet:  Call The Midwife continues its domination of UK TV, keeping its gold place position. BBC drama did rather well over this period, with three shows making the top ten. The Masked Singer reached a peak of 7.3 million for its final episode, and No Return debuted with 5.3m. A hit and miss week, where there were a nice mix of channels rising or decreasing on their previous week. Drag Race UK v The World continues to dominate BBC3, and The Gilded Age proves popular still.  The chosen channel of the week was Sky Atlantic which has numerous global shows airing, including The Gilded Age which had 755k across its two main showings. Euphoria had 205k watching as it continues to find its audience. Billions performs well, and The Fear Index takes 476k with both main airings considered. It may ...

Death in Paradise slips back to 7.8 million, whilst The Masked Singer jumps up to almost ten million viewers. Pre-Transmission takes It's A Sin well above 5 million! Our top three remains quite similar to last week. The Masked Singer sees a rise of around 1.5 million on last week. This puts it two million viewers above Death in Paradise in second place, which dropped around 600k on last week.  Coronation Street 's highest figure is slightly up on last week, by 170k placing it in a high of third place. Emmerdale reaches tenth, higher than sixteenth last week, but only 30k up. EastEnders sees a drop in viewership with the highest figure being 4.9 million this week and 310k down on the high of last week.  Bradley & Barney Walsh sees a rise in viewership this week, up from 5.4 million to 5.7 million this week and a big jump in the chart (23 to 11). Despite lower figures this week, Dancing On Ice rises two spots to 24th. The Voice UK takes a big jump from 27th last week to 9th ...

 Death in Paradise achieves 8.6 million. All Dramas drop out of the top 30, apart from The Drowning for Channel 5. Pre-transmission data is proving evermore successful.  Monday proved successful for viewing with six programmes making the top 30 this week. Death in Paradise is back in first place as the double-instalments hit. The series had 8.6 and 8.4 million watching, putting it in first and third. The Masked Singer continues its uphill climb in viewership, this time edging ever nearer to the 9 million mark with 8.4 million. Those shows are our medallists for the week. Coronation Street then dominates the top ten, as expected, with figures ranging from 5.7 to 6.5 million. The lowest placing was 15th for the soap, way ahead of any other serial dramas like itself. Emmerdale hit a peak position of 16th, below every episode of Corrie. EastEnders could only manage 24th place, despite achieving a higher figure than usual of almost 5.2 million. Outside of soaps, dramas didn't m...
