"The Undateables has established itself as a hit for Channel 4, with ratings rocketing to 3 million viewers last night (January 15). The Tuesday night reality show, about single disabled people finding love, attracted its highest ever audience of 2.87m (11.9%) in a competitive 9pm slot.  Met with controversy when commissioned, the programme averaged 2.3m (9.5%) for its three-part first run last April, with the audience having declined slightly by the final episode. However, this time The Undateables has been on an upward spiral, with yesterday&amp;#039;s instalment coming off air with a peak of over 3m viewers. The show also added 366,000 on Channel 4 +1. Elsewhere, Death in Paradise continued its winning ways for BBC One, logging 6.46m (26.8%) for a less dramatic second episode - last week&amp;#039;s return clinched nearly 7m for the corporation. Before the 9pm drama, the channel&amp;#039;s soap duo of EastEnders and Holby City impressed with respective audiences of 8.6m and 5.2m respectively. &amp;gt; Read Digital Spy&amp;#039;s soaps ratings report in full: &amp;#039;EastEnders&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;Emmerdale&amp;#039;, more   Celebrity Big Brother achieved an impressive 2.24m (12.1%) in the 10pm hour, and remarkably the Channel 5 reality show was winning its slot in the programme&amp;#039;s last 15 minutes. With ITV deciding to screen tonight&amp;#039;s FA Cup replay between Manchester United and West Ham, an unadvertised repeat of Agatha Christie&amp;#039;s Marple mustered just 1.94m (8.2%) between 8pm and 10pm, appealing to a further 156k on timeshift.  Plucky BBC Two put up a strong challenge with Sarah Millican&amp;#039;s Television Programme returning with a decent 2.35m (11.7%) at 10pm, a documentary about railways - Locomotion - kicking off with 2.46m (10.2%), and Winterwatch logging a splendid 3.16m (13.7%) at 8pm. Finally, Channel 4&amp;#039;s Supersize v Superskinny extended its lead over 5&amp;#039;s Benidorm ER with 1.88m (8.2%) versus 1.4m (6.1%), and 275k against 104k on the broadcasters&amp;#039; respective +1 services. Overall, BBC One reigned victorious in primetime with 24.8%, beating ITV&amp;#039;s 11.7% (+1: 0.7%). BBC Two commanded third position with 9.8%, ahead of Channel 4&amp;#039;s 7.3% (+1: 1.1%), and Channel 5&amp;#039;s 5.7% (+1: 0.4%). &amp;gt; Digital Spy&amp;#039;s multichannel report: &amp;#039;Yes, Minister&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;Primeval&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;Sun, Sea and Suspicious Parents&amp;#039;  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
