I'm really surprised how much of a flop it was in ratings terms

I know we all thought many people wouldn't be interested but usually people will watch any old rubbish if it is a big BBC1 event (see how Children in Need gets more viewers every year despite it being critcised on here)

An average of 2.7m isn't very good, it looks like most people were watching Wimbledon instead

I would imagine the hypocrisy of Live Earth and Al Gore's messianic complex might have something to do with it too

I did my bit for the environment by switching off the whole debacle.

Gosh i feel bad now, i sat through the whole lot on the BBC. It didnt occur to me about changing my ways to save this and all that as i was heavily hungover.

Has the ratings been mentioned on TV, its just all i kept hearing Saturday is 2billion tuning in, i mean how ignorant is that. 2 billion have the CHOICE to tune in, but the press never stated it, they took it as gospel.
