BBC2’s 7pm slot is often populated
by repeats, sometimes recruited
from daytime, such as BBC1’s The
Repair Shop – a stalwart since
- Since July in this 7pm slot,
its re-runs have done rather well.
Meanwhile, Channel 4 was more
than just having a fag at 10pm on
Tuesday, while on Monday, BBC2
sent a shudder through anyone
considering crossing a bridge.
BBC2’s When Bridges
Collapse: The Genoa Disaster
drew 1.5 million/9% on Monday at
9pm, more than Channel 5’s The
Secret World Of Your Rubbish
(1 million/6%; 42,000 +1) and
Channel 4’s The Great Train
Robbery: The Hidden Tapes
(700,000/5%; 134,000 +1).
Channel 4’s three-part series
Kathy Burke’s All Woman opened
with 800,000/7% (130,000 +1) on
Tuesday at 10pm, more than
BBC2’s Mock The Week repeat
(800,000/8%) opposite. All
Woman attracted 366,000/12%
ABC1 women – significantly more
than the year-to-date slot average
(212,000/6%).
C4’s three-part documentary
series Jade: The Reality Star Who
Changed Britain drew 1 million/
6% (170,000 +1) at 9pm on Wednes-
day – 194,000 and two share points
fewer than last week’s launch. It
still beat BBC2’s new Murder Case
(1.1 million/ 6%) and C5’s When
Cruises Go Horribly Wrong And
Other Travel Nightmares repeat
(900,000/6%; 93,00+1).
The best of BBC2’s weekly
7pm strip of The Repair Shop was
Tuesday’s episode (2 million/13%).
From 23 July, when the run began
with 1.4 million/9%, 13 episodes
of the show have averaged 1.7
million/11% in overnights – better
than BBC2’s weekday 7-8pm slot
average of 1.1 million/7% in the
year to 22 July.
The Thursday 8 August episode
racked up 2.1 million/13% after
recording – BBC2’s best rating for
an hour-long show in that slot this
year. The Repair Shop seems to
have buffed up 7pm to a healthy,
brassy shine. Could a dazzling
8pm slot be beckoning?
