However, BBC One’s new rival talent show The Voice secured the second spot with almost 10 million viewers. BBC One snapped up the Saturday night show following a successful debut in America.

ITV1’s final Dancing with Ice also featured in the top five. The popular Sunday night ice-skating show bowed out with almost 7.8 million viewers, while the second series of ITV1’s Scott & Bailey won 7.6 million viewers to claim fifth place.
ITV1 had an excellent month, appearing in the top 10 programme listings seven times. Wild at Heart, Benidorm and Whitechapel also featured.
The return of The Apprentice to BBC One’s Wednesday night schedule proved popular among audiences, peaking with 7.6 million viewers to take sixth position in the table. BBC News and Regional News also came in at number nine with 6.8 million viewers.
BBC One featured more heavily in the 11-20 positions with The Syndicate, Upstairs Downstairs, Masterchef, Antiques Roadshow, Countryfile and Sport Relief.
