Return Of Waking The Dead Finishes Off The Fixer

It was the start of a new series of Waking The Dead last night on BBC One, and it was easily the most watched programme in the 9pm slot, with a peak of 6.8 million adults.

The crime drama, starring Trevor Eve, had a 28.5% viewing share between 9pm and 10pm.

Over on ITV1 at the same time, The Fixer could only manage a peak of 3.5 million adults for its final episode.

Five grabbed a pretty respectable peak of three million viewers with its documentary Extraordinary People: Half Man Half Tree, which followed a man with wood-like growths on his body.

Also in the 9pm slot, the new four part documentary series on BBC Two, Am I Normal?, examined addiction in its many guises.

With addicts ranging from alcoholics to pornoholics, the show had a lot of ground to cover, and picked up a peak of 1.2 million on the way.
