`The Living Daylights` scoops 4.20 million UK TV viewers

ITV1's screening of the 1989 James Bond film "The Living Daylights" scooped 4.20 million viewers for the channel on Friday 1st April 2005 - the exact total that the previous week's showing of "Licence To Kill" achieved.

Timothy Dalton's first outing as 007 managed to pull in an 18.97% audience share despite repeated strong opposition on BBC1 with "The Two Ronnies Sketchbook" - which pulled in 7.19 million viewers.

"Licence To Kill" - 4.20 million (18.92%)
"GoldenEye" - 4.73 million (22.1%)
"Tomorrow Never Dies" - 4.12 million (16.9%)
