31 May '''Talent's Got Ratings'''<br/>
 
-
Saturday night's final of [[Britain's Got Talent]] was the most watched British game show for ten years, and the highest-rated TV show of any kind for nearly five years. Overnight figures suggest that the programme, won by dance troupe Diversity, averaged over 18 million viewers and peaked at over 19m. The last TV show to rate higher was an England match in Euro 2004, and the last game show to do so was [[Who Wants to be a Millionaire?]] in March 1999.

-
Following Monday's disqualification of Corpus Christi College from [[University Challenge]], press investigations have turned up evidence of at least three previous winning teams fielding players who were not studying at the institutions they represented at the time of the finals. The programme's producers apparently did not consider these to be an issue, and the BBC have said that they did not act on these breaches of the rules because they were not made aware of them at the time. The decision to disqualify CCO has been widely criticised in the press as disproportionate.
