It could pretty much be declared a hit by the BBC as an iPlayer first show (though it got a BBC1 repeat) and had enough buzz around it to seem like it was, but then on BBC3 on TV it's not actually done that great numbers.
That said though I'm surprised they don't use reruns and the international versions more to pad out the late night schedule. They could probably run the back catalogue of the US versions on weeknights across the year, though I'm not sure the BBC has rights to the US version.
