BBC Two's nature series Coast pulled in 3.7 million viewers and a 17.3% share last night at 8pm.
The 60-minute show ended with an audience of 4 million and a 18% share in the final 15-minutes.
On BBC One, conspiracy thriller The State Within did not do so well, only managing 2.8 million, well below the series average of 3.9 million.
This comes as reports suggest the show, centred around the life of the British Ambassador to the USA, is unlikely to return for a second series.
Insiders told The Stage that a second series, which is already in development, was dependent on the show performing well in the ratings. Though Peter Fincham, controller of BBC One, said he was not disappointed with the ratings, and added that it had been created as a self-contained serial.
Even Monty Don's new BBC Two show, Monty Don - Growing Out of Trouble, which sees the gardener helping a group of criminals and drug addicts through gardening, managed around 2.7 million viewers and a 13% share.
Fincham has already confirmed the channel is dropping The Innocence Project from its 8pm slot. The fifth instalment managed its lowest ratings so far last night, with 2.4 million and a 11.2% share.
On ITV1, The Bill managed 5 million viewers at 8pm, but the channel lost viewers with the fourth part of Kay Mellor's Strictly Confidential at 9pm, dropping to 4.1 million and a 19.2% share. The series has lost 2 million viewers since it began with
