Civil society

You can perhaps see why Channel 5 are shunting Mr and Mrs Eamonn Holmes around the schedule; last night's show, Do the Right Thing, at the old regular slot of 9pm, was watched by an average of 610,000 - picking up a share of 3.4%. Next week, the programme moves to 10pm, to make way for more of Can't Pay ? We'll Take It Away

Even Mary Beard, gazing mistily and entranced at religious art in Civilisations on BBC2, retained an average of 1.07m at 9pm (6% share).
