Ratings

I believe on broadcast there is a overnight figure (like one used for episode one) for the second episode too - via RatingsUK on twitter. If someone could access this and add it, would be appreciated. Andre171717 (talk) 20:00, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Andre171717, the figure RatingsUK gives in its tweet about the week the first episode came out (See:https://twitter.com/Ratings_UK/status/1580285216543117312) doesn't match up with the figure listed in Broadcast. I'm not sure why that is.--Llewee (talk) 19:56, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Isn’t the figure from the Broadcast article only overnight figures? Maybe that is why. The second episode was recently tweeted as well (tonight). Presumably, the tweets are about 7-day data (same as BARB) that they have through a broadcast subscription. Andre171717 (talk) 21:13, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They have also tweeted an overnight figure for episode two from Broadcast I believe at 0.56m. However, 7-day data is what is usually used/referred to. Andre171717 (talk) 21:15, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Andre171717, I'm not an expert in television ratings but I assume the 7-day figures includes All4 viewers in the week afterwards? I'm happy for either figure to be used as long as their consistent and sourced.--Llewee (talk) 15:44, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we could wait until the series ends and see which figures are most consistently available? However, if we cannot source from twitter (I don’t know the rules surrounding that) then indeed overnight figures may be the way to go :) Andre171717 (talk) 16:37, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
