The week before was Christmas Eve and they were showing a family film. Very difficult to compare.
Although for comparison, that seems to be about 10x the viewers RAW gets in the UK (although not based on the most reliable of sources) so shows how important it could be to UK wrestling.
I guess cost would factor in too. How much would this cost per show compared to the other options ITV would have for that slot? From memory an hour of Saturday evening is normally taken up by something like You've Been Framed (A clip show of 25 year old funny home movies with a shite comedian as a voice over) which I would imagine is a lot cheaper.
