Smallest Man Does Big Against News At Ten

Channel 4’s documentary The World’s Smallest Man And Me performed well for the channel, getting higher viewing figures than News At Ten.

The show, featuring Mark Dolan travelling to Nepal and Mongolia to check out rival claims to the title, was watched by 2.9 million adults.

ITV1’s News At Ten, shown during the first thirty minutes of the smallest man show, attracted 2.2 million viewers

Elsewhere, the second installment of The Duchess In Hull failed to dent the viewing figures for the final episode of Waking The Dead. Viewing for the Duchess fell by 1.1 million on Monday’s edition, to 3.66 million, compared to 6 million for the BBC1 crime drama.

The final episode of Five’s CSI narrowly missed out in the ratings battle with Channel 4’s Gordon Ramsey’s F Word. The Las Vegas set drama pulled in 2.1 million adults, compared to 2.3 million for the celebrity chef’s cookery show.
