TV Highlights w/c 24th March 2008

Saturday 29th March 2008
BBC1’s talent Andrew Lloyd Webber-backed contest I’d Do Anything stepped up a gear on Saturday with the first of the live performance shows. The two ‘audition’ shows both averaged 5.5m, but 6.2m (27.9%) tuned in this week between 6:50 – 8:05pm to see the finalists competing for a part in a West End revival of the musical Oliver! This gave I’d Do Anything a TI™ score of 104 and won the slot for BBC1.

Thursday 27th March 2008
Series 1 of Ashes to Ashes was laid to rest at 9pm on BBC1 last night, safe in the knowledge that it will be resurrected for a second series, Audi Quattro and all. The BBC had announced the re-commission of the Kudos series before the final episode went out, so fans will be reassured that they haven’t heard the last of Gene Hunt’s (Philip Glenister) popular put-downs, or seen the last of Alex Drake’s (Keeley Hawes ‘80s hair-style and bare shoulder. The series bowed out to an audience of 5.43m (23%) and a TI™ of 100.5, one of its lowest audiences. However, over the course of the eight-episode run, it averaged a respectable 6m viewers and 25% share.

Monday 24th March 2008
BBC1 returned to grittier territory to end the Easter break, with EastEnders’ ‘buried alive’ storyline reaching its conclusion on Monday night. Friday night’s episode had been very successful, with 10m (41.6%) tuning in to see the burial take place. Even more watched to see if Max Branning would survive his ordeal, with BBC1 reaching an audience of 11.4m (42.5%) between 8 – 8:30pm.
