I thought the coronation concert was very good. Nice bit of “event television” that gets more people than usual watching the same broadcast together.

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?

As it was on BBC Two rather than on the red button or online only for example, there could be a number of possibilities for why the rating would be higher than expected, such as someone leaving the TV on BBC Two the night before and not bothering to turn over, simply assuming that it was the same on every channel.
