Five Puts ITV To Shame With New CSI

Five recorded an impressive ratings victory against ITV last night, with the first episode in a new series of crime drama CSI notching up 3.9 million adult viewers on average.

The winning performance was enough to beat ITV into third place, with an average of 3.3 million tuning in to Holiday Showdown, although both programmes were topped by BBC One’s Crimewatch UK, drawing 5.1 million in the same time slot.

Five’s strong performance continued following CSI, with a second episode in the crime drama franchise drawing 2.3 million on average, despite being a repeat of a previous series.
