A peak audience of 13.4m and an average audience of 11.9m for the Coronation on BBC1.

A sizeable audience but clearly not in the league of other recent events.

What is telling there is how big an audience there is for signed/accessible content.

I find this number very odd - there's a lot of variation in estimates, but even the most generous only has 250k who can speak BSL.

Even if you start to make wild assumptions that they were all in separate households and all watching with a lot of other people, it's very difficult to get to 1.7m viewers, so it really makes me wonder what is driving this?
