The gap between Corrie and everything else widened this week, it was the only show to get more than 9 million viewers and it got more than 9 million viewers with 4 out of 5 of it's episodes! Corrie's average for the week was 9.73 to EastEnders' 8.51 - ouch!

As the nights start to draw in, it's getting more difficult for the smaller channels to compete; 5.25 million viewers were needed in order to get onto this week's Top 20, the best BBC2, Channel 4 and Five could manage was 3.62 million (Extras), 3.16 million (You Are What You Eat) and 3.15 million (CSI: Miami) respectively.
