The second most watched documentary was ITV’s Traffic Jams From Hell, screened as part of the network’s week-long look at the state of transport in Britain, which attracted 8.38 million viewers.
ITV’s long running light entertainment programmem, Des O’Connor Tonight, continues to improve its weekly audience total.
