Under 2 million last night. Not the easiest slot and the heatwave has hit audiences this week but even so that’s a very poor start. I’m sure it’ll look a bit better in +7 with iPlayer included but it still won’t be great.
It really has fallen off a cliff. It’s weird as a decade or so ago when it was at its peak it was arguably the biggest show on TV (or definitely one of the biggest). I can’t recall another sitcom or scripted show experiencing such a drastic fall from grace. It happens in unscripted as formats run for a long time but it’s quite rare in scripted, in the UK at least. I think they’re contracted for another few years of specials but I wonder how low they’ll end up going.
