Published Friday, Dec 12 2003, 14:02 GMT | By Neil Wilkes
An average of 6.3 million viewers - a 22.4% share of the audience - saw an unusually happy ending for the two families in this week's show, which aired between 9pm and 10pm.
The series benefitted from a strong lead-in from The Bill, which had 6.8 million from 8pm.
Over on BBC One at the same time, Judge John Deed was down to 5.9 million (25.5%).
Ultimately it was BBC One which won the peaktime ratings battle overall, however, helped by an episode of EastEnders at 7.30pm (12.2m, 55.7%) to take an average peaktime share of 29.4% against ITV1's 27.7%.
