Survivor fails to gather pace
Published Friday, Jun 29 2001, 13:54 BST | By Neil Wilkes
Despite scheduling maneuvers by ITV, Survivor is still failing to gain an increased audience.
On Monday, just 5.3m (25%) tuned in for the hour-long show at 9pm, which saw James Stroud evicted from the island. BBC1 did well out of the ratings disappointment, pulling 7.5m (36%) for new crime drama Waking the Dead.
Half an hour earlier, ITV's Better Homes drew an impressive 6.5m (33%).
At 22.00, Big Brother 2 averaged 4.5m (26%) on C4. In the 9pm hour slot, Football Stories: George Best took 2.5m (12%).
