On BBC Two, the final of The Great Interior Design Challenge attracted 1.57m (7.2%) at 7pm, followed by Restaurant Man with 1.53m (6.8%) at 8pm. Royal Cousins At War interested 1.98m (8.6%) at 9pm, while new comedy series Inside No 9 brought in 1.06m (5.6%) at 10pm.

ITV's Midsomer Murders topped the ratings overall outside of soaps with 5.20m (22.9%) at 8pm (296k/1.5% on +1).

On E4, The Tomorrow People continued with 506k (2.2%) at 9pm (183k/1.1%).

Every house building show on Channel 4 ends exactly the same: "When I last visited the property the money had run out, all building work had stopped and the whole family suffered a nervous breakdown. Since then the bank has loaned an extra £250,000, the house is finished and everything is now hunky dory".

Last night's Restoration Man was no exception.

For god's sake Channel 4, give it a rest!
