Episode 1 Ratings

[nothingisasitseems]

No-one appears to have started a thread for Episode 2 viewing figures and I'm not sure whether it has to be a Moderator so in the meantime.

The figures for Episode 2 on BBC 1 were majorly disappointing and worrying at 4.5m - a bif drop from the opening.

We can hope that this was a one-off against Collision on ITV but how will it do against Celebrity on ITV in the next few weeks?

Does anyone know what the figures for Epi 2 on BBC3 last Friday were - it could be that a lot watched it in then instead of this Wednesday?

Obviously, you can't go on one week's figures and maybe I'm being too pessimistic but I have a sinking feeling in my stomach that with most actors not remaining in the series that long if say two of Lucas, Ros or Jo were to leave then the BBC might decide to end it. Certainly if the viewing figures don't go back up to over 5m I think cancellation is on the cards.

As the show is filmed well in advance of airing if the BBC did not commission another series then we wouldn't get a "proper" ending.

If my memory serves me right they usually announce there will be a further series during the current run or soon after it ends. Is this right?
