Women Who Kill locks up 800k

Wild Pictures’ study of female killers in the US came to a conclusion with an average of 833,000 (5.9%) across its two parts.  

The performance meant it was only narrowly down on the channel’s slot average of 840,000 (5.6%) for the past 12 months, as well as the 845,000 (5.7%) who watched One Killer Punch in a Tuesday 10pm slot in November.

However it was unable to match the 3.9m (19.4%) who watched ITV’s Killer Women With Piers Morgan, which aired to an average of 3.9m (19.4%) across two parts in a 9pm slot in May.

Women Who Kill attracted almost double the audience of Studio Lambert’s Common Sense in the same slot on BBC2.

The fourth episode of the six-part series continued with 490,000 (3.1%), behind the channel’s 690,000 (4.5%) slot average.

Earlier in the evening, Label1’s hospital documentary built slightly on the previous week’s outing. It remains ahead of the 1.3m (6%) slot average, according to Barb data provided by overnights.tv, with two episodes remaining in the six-part run.

The factual series continued beat Channel 4 drama No Offence, which continued with 1.5m (7.3%).

BBC1 won the slot with DIY SOS: the Big Build, which landed 3.7m (18.2%) across the hour from 9pm, while ITV aired Midsomer Murders to 3.2m (15.7%) between 8pm and 10pm on ITV.

Some 1.2m (5.8%) tuned in to Channel 5 for GPs: Behind Closed Doors. 

Crackit Productions’ format returned for a second series comfortably ahead of the 104,000 (0.69%) slot average. It was also marginally up on the 129,000 (0.88%) who watched the opener in May.
