Viewers Leave Heroes

The third instalment of Heroes was on BBC Two last night at 9pm, with the audience down from last week’s double-bill.

Episode three saw the pace move up a notch as Hiro managed to convince Ando that he transported himself five weeks into the future.

A peak of 2.8 million adults watched Heroes, a 15.4% share of the audience, down from a peak of 4.1 million for the first episode and 3.8 million for the second.

This was still good enough to beat a repeat of Waking The Dead on BBC One though, which had a peak of 2.7 million adults (a 14% audience share).

Over on ITV1 AT 9pm was Wire In The Blood. The Robson Green investigative drama had a peak of 4.7 million adults (a 25.7% share).

On Channel 4 at the same time was Big Brother which picked up a peak of 3.2 million adults and had an average of three million throughout its hour long running time.

Before Big Brother on Channel 4 was Location, Location, Location at 8pm, where Kirstie and Phil once again tried to find the perfect home for some picky people.

A peak of 3.7 million adults watched the drama unfold, whilst an average of 3.4 million adults stuck with it for its hour-long duration.
