Figures slide for TV Burp

Harry Hill's TV Burp recorded its lowest audience in three years on Saturday night.

The show pulled in a still-respectable 4.3million viewers to ITV at 7pm – yet as recently as November the show was attracting viewing figures of 8 million.

This weekend’s episode was, however, up against stiff competition in the form of BBC One’s Let's Dance For Comic Relief, which waltzed off with 7.4million viewers.

Meanwhile, vintage comedy performed well for BBC Two, with a Dad’s Army rerun attracting 2.4million viewers; An Audience With Ken Dodd 2.5million and Dodd’s stand-up show Happiness, 2.1million.
