'Five Days', which is running in the 9pm to 10pm slot every day this week, burst into life with 7.4 million viewers and a 28.9% share of viewing.
This helped bring down the audience for 'Married Single Other', featuring an ensemble cast including Ralf Little and Lucy Davis, following its strong debut of 6.2 million last Monday.
Channel 4 scored the next biggest audience in the slot, with 2.7 million viewers and a 10.5% share for the first in a new series of 'The Secret Millionaire', including ratings from C4+1.
Five pulled in 1.5 million viewers with the Clint Eastwood western 'A Fistful of Dollars', while BBC Two languished with 755,000 viewers for 'Why Did You Kill My Dad?', a look at murders committed by mentally ill people.
