October 2015 Monthly Performance Pack Monthly Performance Pack October 2015 Mimmi Andersson, BBC iPlayer BBC Communications 07725641207 | [email protected] Monthly summary – October 2015 • 313 million TV and radio requests for programmes on BBC iPlayer in October. As the nights draw in, TV increases in appeal and there were 15m more TV requests than in October last year. • Requests from computers, mobiles and tablets all increased this month (up +5%, 9% and 8% respectively). • The Apprentice topped the programmes list this month with Episode 2 receiving 1.9 million requests. Exclusively available on BBC iPlayer, Matt Edmondson's Meet the Candidates also performed well, with 1.1m requests. The stars of the Autumn schedule, Doctor Foster and The Great British Bake Off had their final episodes in October and these also performed strongly. • The News Quiz proved particularly popular this month, making up four of the top five requested radio programmes. Ken Bruce also featured heavily as well as the usual mix of the Radio 1 and Radio 2 Breakfast Shows. • Note: we have included September top 20 tables in this report as well as October, since data issues prevented us from publishing a report in September 2015. Consistent with previous months: • The profile of BBC iPlayer users has evened out over time in terms of male/female ratio, but remains strongly under- 55 in terms of age, which is younger than the typical TV viewer or radio listener’s profile (although more in line with home broadband users). • BBC iPlayer is used for TV at roughly the same time of day as linear TV viewing, although there is proportionally more daytime and late-peak use. For radio, BBC iPlayer is used far more in daytime than traditional radio listening, which peaks at breakfast-time.

Navigating a constant tangle of government red-tape, Maggie's Kitchen finally opens its doors to the public and Maggie finds that she has a most unexpected problem.
