TV Overnights: Turn Back Time wins the top spot for BBC One

The second episode of BBC One’s Turn Back Time – The High Street banked the peak ratings for the second week running.

BBC One’s new 9pm show pulled in a high of more than 5.3 million viewers and a 22.5% average audience share during the all-important peak-hour last night, despite competition from ITV1’s film premiere of Ocean’s Thirteen.

The first hour of the George Clooney thriller attracted a lower 2.6 million average viewers and a 11.6% share between 9pm and 10pm.

At the same time, Channel 5’s CSI: Miami secured a decent audience of two million viewers to take third place in the peak-hour ratings war.

Over on BBC Two, over a million viewers tuned in to the Money Programme Special – BP: $30bn Blowout, which saw the former BP chief executive Tony Hayward provide an insider’s account of the effects of the recent oil spill.

Meanwhile, the final of Ramsay’s Best Restaurants, which saw this year’s winners go head to head with last year’s winners, picked up over 1.4 million average viewers and a 7.3% share for Channel 4 between 9pm and 11.10pm.
