Though just shy of the 3.9m slot average, The Garden’s film was marginally ahead of the 20% average share after it hit a peak of 4.3m. The best-performing of the previous four editions of the strand, which has featured contributions from Gordon Ramsay and Ross Kemp, was the opening doc, An Hour to Catch a Killer with Trevor McDonald, which attracted 3.4m (17.6%). It continues next week with Reid’s Good Morning Britain co-host contribution, Serial Killer with Piers Morgan. Opposite, the first of Channel 4’s four-part doc series Trump: An American Dream, launched with 1.4m (7.4%). 72 Films’ show, which was co-produced with Netflix, was just ahead of the 1.3m (6.5%) slot average. Elsewhere at 9pm, the second episode of BBC2’s Exodus: Our Journey Continues stayed steady on 490,000 (2.7%), while BBC1’s The Week The Landlords Moved In attracted 2.1m (11.4%). The final episode of the second series of Rich House, Poor House averaged 1.3m (7.1%) on Channel 5. Meanwhile on Sky 1, part two of Big Talk’s comedy-drama Living the Dream attracted 228,000 (1.2%) over the 9pm hour. Part one averaged 131,000 (0.7%) last week, with a further 139,000 (9.9%) who watched, or recorded, a 2am premiere. Together with a Saturday 9pm repeat, the debut reached a total overnight audience of 320,000. Sam Smith at the BBC (BBC1) 8pm-9pm 1.8m (9%) The Stay with Me singer’s hour-long showcase, in which he performed with the BBC Concert Orchestra, proved a bigger draw than last week’s Harry Styles at the BBC, which drew 1.4m (7.3%) in the same 8pm time slot. It was a hit with 16-24s, who made up 8% of viewers compared to BBC1’s 4.5% slot average, according to Barb data provided by overnights.tv. ITV won the 8pm slot with Emmerdale (5.7m / 28.9%), followed by Paul O’Grady’s For The Love of Dogs (4.1m / 20.8%) at 8.30pm. Angry, White and American (C4) 10pm-11pm 740,000 (5.5%) Sugar Films’ one-off doc, in which journalist Gary Younge travelled across America to learn how Donald Trump won over white voters, was just below C4’s 780,000 (5.4%) slot average.
