ITV1's screening of the 1989 James Bond film "Licence To Kill" scooped 4.20 million viewers for the channel on Good Friday (March 25th 2005).

Timothy Dalton's second and final outing as 007 was expected to flop in the ratings, but still managed to pull in an 18.92% audience share despite strong opposition on BBC1 with "The Two Ronnies Sketchbook" - which pulled in 7.39 million viewers.

ITV1 continue their "Ultimate Bond Season", showing all 20 007 films in reverse order, with 1987's "The Living Daylights" on Friday 1st April at 20:30.
