24 is on the same channel that shows BSG, namely Sky One so doesn't get the same kind of viewing figures as it would on terrestrial telly. Also I think the shows appeal to slightly different audiences to be honest and the drama that was on in this slot on ITV the last few weeks did pretty good so hopefully that means we don't have to worry too much on that score.

aaah, on sky one and yeah, you're probably right about the different audiences. i think i'm just being paranoid about ratings after the whole bsg-debacle *rolls eyes*
thank you for reassuring me :)

Hockeyvaughnfan makes a good point about different viewing audiences. Also, we have no way to gauge how the UK audience will view a transplanted, almost iconic, American TV mainstay. I was shocked to learn recently that House, which is huge hee in the US, and stars one of their own, does not do well in the UK. Hugh Laurie blames the American accent and that people in England are used to seeing him in comedies. So, yes, it should be interesting to see what the ratings are like in the next couple of days.
