Ashes to Ashes got 5·8 million viewers—up on second series of Life on Mars
Ashes to Ashes managed 5·8 million viewers (24·9 per cent) in the UK on Thursday night, which is lower than the average of the first series of Life on Mars, but an improvement on where things were for the second series (which dipped to 4·8 million by the third episode). I hope fans will get a second series of Ashes to Ashes: these are still respectable viewer numbers.
At least with the Brits, the shows I like tend to get renewed. The American shows I like tend to get prematurely cancelled.
Although I did rather like that cheesy Knight Rider pilot in mid-February, and rumour has it that it might become a regular TV series.
