"BBC One&amp;#039;s Mayday has steadied itself in the ratings and beat rival ITV drama Lightfields last night. Tuesday&amp;#039;s penultimate edition of the drama, stripped across the week, averaged 4.38 million viewers across the 9pm hour and a 19.3% share. March&amp;#039;s Mayday, which began with over 6 million viewers on Sunday, was dented by ITV&amp;#039;s new David Tennant series the following night.      However, ITV couldn&amp;#039;t repeat its success as Marchlands sequel Lightfields slumped to 2.54m (11.2%) and 462,000 on +1 for its second episode. Last week, Lightfields got the better of BBC One&amp;#039;s broadcast of Child in our Time. Fake Britain preceded Mayday on BBC One with 3.91m (17.6%) at 8.30pm, while Simon Cowell food show Food Glorious Food fell to an underwhelming 2.35m (10.5%) and 127,000 on +1. Channel 4&amp;#039;s Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners won 1.97m (8.8%) from 8pm (+1: 292k), after which One Born Every Minute had 1.91m (8.4%) at 9pm (+1: 364k). Meanwhile, Born To Kill? interested 1.31m (5.9%) on 5 (+1: 109k), after which NCIS took 1.53m (6.7%) at 9pm (+1: 6.7%). Hairy Bikers Everyday Gourmets (1.99m/8.9%) and This World (1.51m/6.6%) aired on BBC Two to respectable audiences too. Overall, BBC One topped primetime with 20.9% above ITV&amp;#039;s 16.7% (+1: 1.1%) and also ahead of BBC Two&amp;#039;s 6.8%, Channel 4&amp;#039;s 6.2% (+1: 1.1%), and 5&amp;#039;s 4.7% (+1: 0.4%).
