'Enders ratings take a knock from football
Ratings for EastEnders took a dip last night as a large audience watched Euro 2008 coverage on ITV1.

The tournament's opening matches failed to attract big numbers over the weekend but a sizeable 6.2m, or 30.1% of the total viewing audience, tuned in to see Italy take on the Netherlands. The full coverage between 7.30pm and 10pm was seen by 5.6m (27.2%).

BBC One's 8pm EastEnders instalment drew only 6.4m (31.3%) - down 2.1m from the episode in the same slot last week.

Springwatch recorded another good audience for BBC Two from 8pm with 3.3m (16%), while 845,000 (4.1%) watched The Gadget Show on Five.

Channel 4 drew 745,000 (3.6%) from 8pm for Dispatches programme Gordon Brown: Where Did It All Go Wrong?
