Monthly Performance Pack June and July 2015 Ian Walker, BBC Communications 07703886273| [email protected] Monthly summary – June and July 2015 We have also included June 2015 top 20 charts in this report since data issues prevented the publishing of June data. • 250 million TV and radio requests on BBC iPlayer in July – up +2% on June despite the summer weather which often affects TV viewing. Mobiles and tablets saw strong increases (+9% and +7% on June respectively). Radio requests are still being undercounted due to changes made to radio streaming services (more details are on slide 4.) • TV requests were at 196m in July, up +1% on June (and up +18% on July 2014) and viewing across the 4 screens was fairly stable month-on-month. • EastEnders was the most-requested programme in July, and the final episode of Top Gear continued to attract viewing, having been originally broadcast on 28th June. BBC Three documentary Teenage Millionaire: The Year I Won the Lottery performed strongly, as did new drama series The Outcast. CBBC series The Next Step also continued to feature in the top 20 titles. • For radio, The Ashes dominated the top programmes in July, although a typical mix of breakfast shows as well as BBC Radio 4 drama and comedy also featured. 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.

    SARAH KENDALL Comedian/Actor

    SARAH KENDALL Comedian/Actor Australian stand-up Sarah Kendall has established herself as one of the hottest talents on the international comedy circuit. Since bursting onto the scene at the 2001 Edinburgh Festival, the London-based Aussie has performed at many of the world’s leading comedy festivals, including Montreal, Kilkenny, Edinburgh, Melbourne and Hong Kong. During the 2002 Edinburgh Festival, Sarah was the only stand up comedian to win the prestigious Herald Angel Award. The following year she performed sell-out seasons at both the Sydney Opera House and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. After a highly successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Sarah was one of only five acts selected by NBC to perform in their ‘Edinburgh Nights’ season in New York City, followed by a run at The Berlin Comedy Festival and the Stavanger Comedy Festival in Norway. In 2004, Sarah cemented her reputation as one of the top comics in the industry by becoming the first woman in nine years to receive a prestigious Perrier Award Nomination. Following her completely sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, she performed in the Perrier season at the Gielgud Theatre in London's West End. Sarah’s 2006 Edinburgh Festival show Attention Seeker was nominated for a Time Out London Comedy Award, and in early 2007 Sarah toured the show throughout the UK and Europe- including Barcelona, Madrid, Amsterdam, Milan, Rome, Luxembourg, Brussels and Paris, Helsinki and Copenhagen. She returned to the Edinburgh Festival in 2007 with My Very First Kidnapping. The show won the Three Weeks Editor’s Award for Theatrical Innovation, presenting a darkly comic and true story of college initiation that went horribly wrong.

Touchdown, A Day in October and Shaken were all recorded for a series on BBC Radio 4 called “Sarah Kendall: Australian Trilogy”. Her recording of A Day In October, won her the best scripted comedy prize at the BBC Audio Drama Awards. A second radio series is now available on BBC Radio 4, and in 2019 she performed Paper Planes - weaving together tales from Greek mythology and the account of a work trip to Los Angeles to take her audience on a search for meaning in a world which is out of control.
