European football audiences rose again last night as Manchester United secured their place in the Champions League final.

The game - a 1-0 victory over Barcelona - was watched by 10m viewers, or 39% of the viewing audience, from 7.45pm on ITV1. The entire coverage, from 7.30pm to 10pm, drew 8.6m (33.9%).

The other channels suffered last night, though BBC One's Holby City was up 300,000 on last week to average 5.7m (22.4%) in the 8pm hour.

At 9pm, the channel pulled in 5.9m (22.8%) for Waking the Dead - 900,000 fewer than Monday's instalment.

On Channel 4 at 9pm, documentary Embarrassing Bodies won a decent 2.3m (8.9%), while 2.1m (8%) watched CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on Five.

BBC Two drew 798,000 (3%) for Age of Terror, around 100,000 down on last week.
