'Eubanks' make slow start on Five

At Home With The Eubanks, a new Osbournes style 'fly-on-the-wall' series following former boxer Chris Eubank and family, made a mediocre debut in the ratings last night.

The first episode, shown on Five at 8pm, drew 1.4 million and a 6.6% share. Episode two, screened immediately after at 8.30pm, picked up 200,000 viewers and averaged a 6.8% share.

The show was marginally up on the channel's average for the slot, a 6.5% share, but executives would have hoped for a bigger audience with the media profile Eubank has.

BBC Two and Channel 4 beat Five comfortably, with audiences of 2.9 million (13.2%) and 1.9 million (8.5%) for Escape to the Country/Hidden Treasure and Grand Designs Indoors respectively.
