Top Gear & Law & Order: UK still came out on top, but even a midnight encore of Law & Order: UK and a Friday 6pm Top Gear repeat came in ahead of Luther.
Luther fell 27,000 viewers from its second episode to its third (it also dropped 27,000 from its first to its second) to wind up with 137,000 viewers on BBCA last Sunday between 10p-11:15. Considering it was Halloween and that it wasn't going to be anywhere near the 5.345 million viewers the AMC's The Walking Dead had, it's not too surprising. But I had to expand the BBCA "Top 10" to 12 entries this week to get Luther in.
Looking for Sherlock ratings on PBS? Me too! If you see them posted anywhere, let me know.
