The second episode of Law & Order: UK pulled in 610,000 fewer viewers than the first, overnight ratings figures suggest.
The ITV1 crime drama made a reasonable start last week with 6.37m (26.3%), but last night the audience fell to 5.76m (24.3%).
The episode was beaten by BBC One's Who Do You Think You Are?, with 5.96m (25.1%) in the hour.
The next episode of Heroes took 1.48m (6.2%) for BBC Two at 9pm, but was beaten by Channel 4's Cutting Edge film Revenge Of The Bin Men, which averaged 1.69m (7.1%).
Over on Five, a new series of Extreme Fishing With Robson Green pulled in 1.38m (5.8%).
During the 8pm hour, the last episode of BBC Two's It's Not Easy Being Green attracted 1.73m (7.4%), while 2.52m (10.4%) tuned in for the first episode of Grow Your Own Drugs, a series which looks at using familiar plants to create natural remedies.
Five's Police Interceptors averaged 1.29m (5.4%) for the hour, while The Real Pink Panther: Lord Victor Hervey - the final film in Channel 4's Toffs And Crims series - pulled in a lowly 0.96m (4.0%).
Elsewhere, the 9pm screening of the new 24 took 414k for Sky1, beaten by BBC Three's Gavin And Stacey repeat, which logged 543k.
The next episode of Heroes drew a respectable 655k for BBC Three at 10.30pm.
