Daytime TV punches far above its weight in terms of ratings, cost & popularity. To have only 2 daytime shows on this list is a bit of a kick in the teeth for producers. If I made Bridge Of Lies, HUTH, Come Dine, Lingo etc I think I'd feel robbed. Why bother having the category?

Biggest audience of this run of #StrictlyComeDancing so far, comfortably over 8m viewers - half of all those watching tv at the time - see news presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy become the latest celeb to exit dance floor…funnily enough I think C4 News may have need of him today?!

Not for the first (or last) time this year, BBC regional news at 6.30 is most watched programme of the day, 4m viewers. By this time next week ITV soaps - 3.9m on the night for Coronation Street & 3.7m for Emmerdale - will have bigger audiences thanks to catch up etc but still.👏

Just over 6m viewers watched the 10,000th episode of #CoronationStreet on Friday night, a one hour special road trip by many of the cast to Blackpool. One actor has been there since the very beginning in 1960, a remarkable achievement by ‘Ken Barlow’, actor Bill Roache.
