    Sorry I cannot comment about your 2005 Viewer ratings, but I do believe SCD generally had bigger audiences than X-Factor last year (as a series).

    But what is guaranteed is big prime time television viewing figures. Strictly Come Dancing’s average weekly rating has been above eight and a half million viewers, with up to 10 million expected to tune in for the final on Saturday. It has consistently beaten The X Factor on ITV, the final of which was broadcast last night, and it is well ahead of the BBC1 talent show How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? which brought in a comparatively meagre six million viewers per show.
