TV ratings 02-09-2018

Last night saw a clash of 2 heavily hyped dramas however there was only 1 winner. BBC1's thriller Bodyguard was seen by 6 and a half million viewers while ITV's period drama Vanity Fair was watched by barley over 3 million. This is some what of an embarrassment for ITV giving the heavy promotion they gave to their production. The second episode of Vanity Fair goes out tonigtht faces some what easier factual opposition on BBC1. Weather or not Vanity Fair can stage a ratings come back remains to be seen.
