Bionic gets HUGE ratings for ITV2

The Bionic Woman went down well on ITV2:

The first episode of US TV drama The Bionic Woman has given ITV2 its largest ever audience, initial figures suggest.

The show, starring former EastEnders actress Michelle Ryan, was watched by an average of 2.2 million viewers, according to overnight figures.

The digital channel's previous best was 1.9 million viewers for Footballers' Wives: Extra Time in 2005.

See the quality of their previous best rated show? Maybe it was everyone tuning in to see if Michelle Ryan could really go from Cockney to American Superhero?

However to put things in perspective:

The show's UK debut at 2100 GMT on ITV2 beat Channel 4's The Woman Who Stops Traffic, which attracted 736,000 viewers.

BBC One's Hotel Babylon was the most watched programme at that time, with five million viewers.

The Woman Who Stops Traffic, what an inspiring title for a TV show.
