C4 plans 'Super Friday'

Channel 4 is said to be hoping for massive ratings on May 28, in what is being billed as 'Super Friday' for the network.

The last ever episode of US comedy Friends will air in the 9pm hour and is expected to pull in a record figure. The series is currently enjoying its most successful audiences to date, with around 4 million viewers each Friday.

The launch of Big Brother 5 will sandwich around Friends in the 8pm and 10pm hours respectively. Last year the series kicked off with a massive peak of 7.6 million viewers; increased anticipation after last year's relatively disappoining run could push the figure even higher this time round.
