It has been a royal week on television, with the first part of 'Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work' aired on BBC One earlier in the week, pulling in 6.7m viewers.
ITV1's 'Sold', which was scheduled in the same one-hour slot last night, 9-10pm, as the Channel 4 documentary, drew 3.1m and a 13.3% share. Last night's episode was the third of six episodes, in which Kris Marshall plays an estate agent.
'Sold' was bookended by 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!', which pulled in 6.7m and a 28.6% share in the first one-hour instalment from 8-9pm.

The former Catatonia singer was disappointed to discover upon leaving the 'I'm a Celeb...' camp that Bannerman, who was evicted last week, broke his promise to be present at the eviction.
