This isn't related to the purpose of the board as such but I thought it might be handy to have a thread which tracked the numbers. I've managed to find a way to get the BARB website to give me a weekly top 10 just for E4, so I can now fill in the gaps which we had after the show fell out of the general top 30. I'm going to copy and paste one of the posts from the main thread on TLC. If it's your post I hope you don't mind me borrowing it.

----------

In the UK ratings are only published at a top level, so not by age demographic. Also, they take a few weeks to be released because of the audit/check process they go through. 5 main channels have their own league tables and then all the other channels show in one table. This is the table TheL00 shows up in. It has some serious competition in this table (the cable channels are on the same table) e.g. Game of Thrones; League football. Only the top 30 shows across the week show on the table. Look how fantastic TheL00 did in S2. The # signifies its position on the table and it's impressive for S2. Then look at S3

BARB Top 30 Shows [BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 have separate individual rankings. In the Top 30, T1OO comes under a giant 'Others' category]

Season 2 -- 7 day data (Millions)
# 2 S2.01 1.39
# 4 S2.02 1.09
#10 S2.03 0.91 Big week for League football and soap operas. So pushed down.
# 6 S2.04 1.03 Big week for League football. So pushed down.
# 8 S2.05 0.96 Big week for League football. So pushed down.
# 1 S2.06 1.34
# 3 S2.07 1.27
# 4 S2.08 1.24
# 1 S2.09 1.22
# 2 S2.10 1.21
# 5 S2.11 1.10 Big week for League football.
# 3 S2.12 1.14
# 6 S2.13 1.08 League football. Plus, Celebrity Juice and Big Bang Theory started airing which are popular.
# 6 S2.14 1.06 As above.
# 7 S2.15 0.95 As above. Plus, Game of Thrones started airing! (GoT had 2.63 rating.)
# 7 S2.16 1.08 As above

Season 3 -- 7 day data (Millions)
This season kicked-off with no competition. No League Football, Game of Thrones, etc. The shows that have leaped above it aren't new/aired last year and weren't anywhere near TheL00 popularity.

# 9 S3.01 0.95 17 Feb 16
S3 started badly. Ep1 was boring. I think UK GA expecting Lexa/more grounder stuff. It was boring!

# 21 S3.02 0.83 24 Feb 16
This serious drop was on the back of ep.1 being poor. Some GA turned off. Clexa fans still invested in it.

#NA S3.03 N/A 2 March 16
Outside top 30 so ratings not disclosed!!!!!!
(# 30 on list had .80 so it was lower than this. How low don't know as below # 30 not disclosed.)

#NA S3.04 N/A 9 March 16
Outside top 30 so ratings not disclosed!!!!!!
(# 30 on list had .73 so it was lower than this. How low don't know as below # 30 not disclosed.)

And now the figures I found today...

The top 10 for individual channels states the numbers a little differently because they are smaller. The Top 30 figures are 7 day data (Millions). E4's Top 10 figures are 7 day data (000s). It doesn’t make a huge difference however.

E4 Top 10

Season 2 -- 7 day data (000s)
# 1 S2.01 1,389
# 2 S2.02 1,091
#7 S2.03 914
# 1 S2.04 1,029
# 2 S2.05 960
# 1 S2.06 1,341
# 1 S2.07 1,268
# 1 S2.08 1,236
# 1 S2.09 1,219
# 1 S2.10 1,209
# 2 S2.11 1,099
# 2 S2.12 1,142
# 2 S2.13 1,156
# 2 S2.14 1,064
# 2 S2.15 947
# 2 S2.16 1,076

Season 3 -- 7 day data (000s)
# 3 S3.1 953
# 7 S3.2 834
# 10 S3.3 738
*307 airs on CW*
# 10 S3.4 637

When we looked at the Top 30 figures and estimated the drop the best we could do was say roughly 23% down. Now we have a full set of data it’s actually a whopping 33% down, after just four episodes. A whole third gone.

If it has already fallen to #10 on E4's own list then this is probably the end of the line for exact figures. Once it falls out of the top 10 that's us properly stumped for data. We will have to go back to just tracking what the show in 10th place has and saying t1oo got less.

But those numbers are damning. It went from being a consistent #1 or #2 for the entirety of Season 2 - to falling all the way down to #10 after just three episodes of Season 3 :blink: S3 is an absolute disaster even without the Lexa death.

305 went up although it is still sitting 10th in E4's individual ranking and is still missing out of the general top 30.

# 3 S3.1 953
# 7 S3.2 834
# 10 S3.3 738
*307 airs on CW*
# 10 S3.4 637
# 10 S3.5 730

Down 18.3% since 301.

The show at #9 got a 801 this week. That's an usually big gap between 9th and 10th. Which leads to me to believe that everything from 11th down is absolutely terrible and the only reason tloo hasn't dropped out of the top 10 yet is because there isn't really any shows it could drop below.

How appropriate that my CAPTCHA when posting this update was 'whoops a daisy'

It only moved up to 9th because Tattoo Fixers has finished and for the week of 308 there was not a new show put in its place yet. Made In Chelsea became the Tattoo Fixers replacement the following week. It will almost certainly push tloo back down a position for 309 onwards.

The show in 10th for the week of 308 was a repeat of Big Bang Theory and it got a 540. So that now tells us a round about figure which tloo has to fall to before it drops out of the top 10. So in short - as mentioned in the post above - it is now clear that the only reason tloo hasn't dropped out of the top 10 yet is because there just isn't any other show which could leapfrog it and make it go to 11th. It's basically the worst performing show on E4.

The reason why tloo stayed ranked #9 this week - an episode of Hollyoaks had an usually low rating. Had that episode of Hollyoaks got a more typical figure then tloo would have been 10th again as Made In Chelsea did indeed enter the ranking above it as I said it would.

But I have no explanation for why 309 is the 3rd highest rating for the season so far. In the space of a week it went from a season low to clawing back 130,000 viewers to give it its highest audience since episode two.

*The episode is listed at #9 but the show listed at #10 (Brooklyn Nine Nine) has the exact same stated 780 rating. There is nothing to say whether the order of the shows was decided by more detailed data which isn't disclosed or if it's just alphabetical. As with last week, the show at #10 had an unusually low audience, so tloo should really have been 10th if normal pattern had occurred.

The total number of viewers went up again, though not by a great deal - just 9000, which is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

S3.10 – #9* – 780 - *show ranked #9 and #10 had the same 780 rating
S3.11 – #Unknown – Outside of the top 10 | Show at #10 rated 795

-/+ 301 to 310: -18.5%
Average: 301 to 310 = 742,500

311 was outside of the top 10. This means we the public won't ever know its actual rating. The show which got #10 and 795 was a Hollyoaks episode. The best we can do is say tloo 311 was under 795. But since 795 is higher than the 780 of the previous episode it means 311 could technically have had an increase and still not made the top 10 for this week.
