Overnights shouldn't be the true measure of the success or failure of Civilisations, but I thought I'd share them anyway. Episode 1 was watched by an average of 1.94m (9.7% share). This week it was down to 1.30m (7.3%).
Kenneth Clarke's suit and dodgy teeth version of the globe's cultural history back in 1969 started with around 1m on BBC2 - remember not everyone had a tv with three buttons then. Eventually it was shown in 60 countries; it took off in the States after a lunchtime screening at the National Gallery of Arts in Washington DC attracted a queue of over 20,000 for a theatre that seated 300.
