`Octopussy` screening on UK TV brings back Bond viewers

ITV`s screening of the 1983 James Bond film "Octopussy" last Friday (6th May 2005) brought 007 back to an all time high... well almost. Roger Moore's penultimate outing attracted the most viewers to a 007 movie - not starring Pierce Brosnan - so far this year.

"Octopussy" was watched by an average of 4.22 million viewers, a 20.8% audience share.

Previous weeks (audience share in brackets):
"Never Say Never Again" - 3.94 million (17.93%)
"A View To A Kill" - 4.04 million (18.64%)
"The Living Daylights" - 4.20 million (18.97%)
