Ratings slip again for episode three – to just below average

Posted by Rich Cross on December 6, 2008

Broadcast magazine reports that the ratings for the third episode of Survivors were down on the figures for episode two.

Survivors third episode attracted 4.6m viewers (18.2% audience share). The average figure for BBC shows in the 9pm Tuesday slot for the year is 4.8m (20.5%), so episode three came at just under that threshold.

The episode three figure was 1.3m down on episode two (which was itself 1.2m down on the first episode). Together this means that the programme has currently shed more than a quarter of its episode one audience.
