Not sure if it's been said on this thread before but there is some very good Welsh language drama out there (like Scandi dramas). Case in point is 35 Diwrnod (35 Days) - check it out on the iplayer http://bbc.in/1RODSSD

Tonight's episode of The Returned has moved to 2200 on More4. Presumably because of Children in Need or they don't want it clashing with Gogglebox?

Must be a last minute change - Digiguide still has it at 9pm.

The continuity on More4 into 24 Hours in A&E was updated.

I wonder if it was delayed to check for content because of what was happening in Paris?

Perhaps but 24 Hours in A&E is hardly an appropriate programme to replace it!

I wouldn't be surprised if it's been shifted because of the very poor ratings it's been attracting.

It did top the More4 ratings for episode 1, but for the week ending Nov 1st, it had 286k viewers.

I think it's dropped under 200k since.

What did the first series average on C4?

About 1.5m.

It's a difficult one for C4 because the second series would have inevitably dropped if they'd have kept it on the main channel due to the gap between the two series but the sheer scale of the drop is huge. Friday definitely isn't the right slot for it.

Just checked my DigiGuide which shows it at 2200 so must have changed after yours last updated. It's at 2200 next week onwards too, so nothing to do with Paris as I suggested earlier.

Interesting. BBC Four were getting BARB consolidated figures of around 1.5m for The Bridge II on a 'digital' channel. Agree that the Friday slot isn't ideal. Sunday evening might be a lot better?
