'Block' fails to rock for ITV1
Fewer than 2 million viewers tuned in for ITV1's latest Saturday night offering, according to early figures.

Rock Around the Block, which transforms two neighbouring families into competing pop groups, averaged just 1.77 million (12.5%) between 7.15pm and 8.15pm last night.

The Big Call - also hosted by Neil Fox - managed to lift figures in the following hour, with an average of 3.28 million (19.5%) and a seventh place ranking for the day.

The top-rated show was BBC One's Casualty, with an albeit reduced audience of 6.33 million (37.5%). The channel also enjoyed success with Des Lynam's interactive "real age" quiz, Are You Younger Than You Think?, which had 3.85 million (21.9%) between 9.10pm and 10.50pm.

The return of Big Fight Live to ITV1's schedules put up a strong defence with an average of 3.06 million (17.9%) over two hours from 9.15pm.
