Almost seven million viewers? It’s good to be occasionally reminded how large the US is. American Idol at times pulled in over thirty million. With less than a quarter of viewers, you wonder what kind of production values UK television would have w/o tax dollars.

UK population is one fifth of USA so seven million is equivalent to 35 million in the US. ITV is commercial television in the UK, so no government subsidy in fact they pay the government money.

7 million viewers/UK population 64 million = 10.9%
30 million viewers/US population 318 million = 9.4%
UK wins.
