ITV `Ultimate Bond` series recovers some viewers with `GoldenEye` screening

The ITV1 screening of "GoldenEye" on Friday night recovered some of the lost "Ultimate Bond" audience after last week's dip during "Tomorrow Never Dies".

Pierce Brosnan's debut outing as James Bond in 1995 was watched by 4.73 million viewers, an audience share of 22.1% between 8.30pm and 10.30pm.

The film was up against the return to UK TV of "The Two Ronnies". Although strong competition (the BBC1 show was watched by 7.9 million viewers), it was less of an opponent than the charity fundraiser telethon "Red Nose Day", which pulled in 13.3 million viewers against "Tomorrow Never Dies" the previous week.

Previous weeks (audience share in brackets):
"Tomorrow Never Dies" - 4.12 million (16.9%)
"The World Is Not Enough" - 5.72 million (25.4%)
"Die Another Day" - 6.3 million (29.1%)

Thanks to `JP` for the alert.
