Posh Documentary Beaten By BBC One Repeat

Victoria Beckham: Coming To America, a documentary following the Spice Girl on her move to the US, could only attract a peak audience of 3.4 million adult viewers to ITV1 last night, a figure easily beaten by a repeat of BBC One drama Waking The Dead.

The Posh Spice reality show had an average of 3.2 million adults watching throughout its hour-long running time.

However, viewers preferred the macabre goings on of BBC One’s slick cold-case investigation show Waking The Dead, which had a peak of 4.4 million adults in the all-important 9pm slot.

Prior to Waking The Dead, BBC One screened its hit medical drama Holby City, which picked up a peak of 5.4 million adults.

Last night’s instalment saw Clifford’s day blown out of the water when his brother Alex arrived and upset the apple-cart.

Over on Five at 9pm was CSI: Miami, where the first episode of season five saw Horatio determined to bring Riaz to justice once and for all.

The hard-hitting detective show had a peak of 3.1 million adult viewers and an average of 2.9 million stayed glued across its hour-long running time.

Big Brother, also on at 9pm, had a peak of 2.6 million adult viewers, no doubt all enthralled by the latest exciting events in the house.

Overnight data is available each morning in mediatel.co.uk’s TV Database, with all BARB registered subscribers able to view reports for terrestrial networks, ITV2 and Sky One.
