TV Ratings: 'Outcasts', BBC1

Wednesday 9 February 2011

BBC1's brand new sci-fi drama Outcasts debuted on Monday with a decent 4.45 million viewers at 9pm (17.9% of the audience for that hour), beating ITV1's weight-loss series The Biggest Loser, Channel 4's One Born Every Minute (2.6m), Channel 5's new documentary Royal Navy Caribbean Patrol (2m) and BBC2's Horizon: How to Survive A Car Crash (1.5m).

Outcast's second episode lost 1.13m viewers last night at 9pm, down to 3.32m (13% share). Is the show on a downward spiral already, or will the more positive reaction to episode 2 encourage people to catchup before episode 3 next Monday?
