Winner: 7two (4.2%)
Second: 10 Peach (3.7%)
7two was #1 last night thanks to The Yorkshire Vet (#6 with 81 000), Escape to the Perfect Town (#7 with 81 000) and I Escaped to the Country (#9 with 80 000). However, the new series Highland Vet could only muster 42 000 viewers. Seems viewers prefer the Yorkshire Vet, but not the Highland Vet.
10 Peach was second with endless repeats of The Big Bang Theory and Friends.
