TV Ratings: THE PRISONER (ITV1) & DOCTOR WHO (BBC1)
The Prisoner's fast losing viewers for ITV1, as Doctor Who's ratings plateau for BBC1
The third episode of ITV1's The Prisoner (a remake of the '60s cult sci-fi) dropped to 1.56m (7.1%) on Saturday night, losing a mammoth 85% of Britain's Got Talent's 10.17m viewers. This six-part remake, starring Jim Caviezel and Sir Ian McKellen, premiered with a disappointing 3.07m and has fallen sharply ever since. Earlier that same evening on BBC1, the concluding episode of a Doctor Who two-part adventure, "Flesh And Stone", attracted an audience of 6.53m (32.8%). That's comparable to last week's 6.6m, and the figure is likely to rise to around 7m once BBC HD and iPlayer viewing figures are factored in.
