The Bwark-produced sitcom has consistently broken previous records throughout its latest six-part run, not just for its own performance but also for E4, ranking as the highest-rated show in the history of the Channel 4-owned digital channel. The final episode was no exception, drawing 2.62m (12.9%) from 10pm to 10.35pm and a further 342,600 (3.3%) an hour-later on time-shifted E4+1, according to overnight Barb figures supplied by Attentional. The total of 2.96m (14.56%) overtook the 2.74m (13.24%) that tuned in to the penultimate instalment on 11 October. Across the series, which started on 13 September, it secured an average overnight audience of 2.45m (11.91%). Prior to its launch, the slot average for the year to date had been 347,500 (1.7%). It managed to beat all other multichannel competition in the slot and also surpassed audience figures for BBC2, Channel 4 and Channel 5, which all hovered around the million mark at the time. --------------------------------------------------------------- Another high for Inbetweeners 12 October, 2010 | By Michael Rosser MONDAY: E4 comedy The Inbetweeners has broken its own record for the highest-rated show in the history of the digital channel.
