The first of ITV's Jane Austen season managed a decent audience last night, with 5.9 million tuning into Mansfield Park at 9pm.

The show, which starred Billie Piper as Fanny Price, started with an audience of 7.4 million but dropped viewers over the 2-hour to 5 million in the last 15 minutes. The show still won in its slot over BBC One's Castaway, which took just 2.4 million viewers.

The final episode of Sunday night horse racing drama Rough Diamond managed 3.5 million and a 15.5% share at 7pm, with Sunday's episode of Casualty at 8pm doing nothing to keep viewers tuned to BBC One, only managing 4.9 million and a 19.2%.

ITV1's Wild at Heart proved more of draw in the same slot, pulling in 7.4 million and a 29% share.
