Series 3 Finale Viewing Numbers

The Series 3 Final of Primeval has aired, as I'm sure you all already knew. Unless there are some people who are not Primeval fans, who have wandered upon this blog by mistake or accident.

The final achieved ratings of 4.32 million on Saturday Night, which was 22% of the people who were watching TV at that time. The whole series managed a 4.41 million avergae viewing rating, so less people watched the final than other episodes. The average, however, shows that less people are watching Primeval. Series 2 achieved an average of 5.74 million and series 1 achieved an average of 6.01 million.

So, why are less people watching Primeval? There aren't any other brilliant shows on, except Robin Hood, whose average is less than Primeval series 3's. Some think it may be because series 3 is longer, some people can't be bothered to watch Primeval every Saturday. Others think that it may be because of the Summer, Primeval is being shown later this year, and the weather recently has been very nice in Britain. Although today it was rainy.

Please leave a comment on what you think about the declining viewing numbers in Primeval. Maybe the Primeval Film will help boost ratings for series 4?

Meanwhile, there is an interview with Tim Haines on Digital Spy here which is well worth a read.

It can also be found on Whovian-guy's new Primeval site here, yes I'm starting a trend.
