The overnight figures are early estimates and we can expect a sizeable increase when the final BARB figures are released. The overnight figures only include those who watched it live and those who recorded and watched it later that night. However, the final figures includes those who recorded and watched within a week, making them a more accurate measure of how many were watching.
