BBC2’s 7pm slot is often populated

by repeats, sometimes recruited

from daytime, such as BBC1’s The

Repair Shop – a stalwart since

2017. 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?
