THE RICK MERCER REPORT’s much-anticipated season debut featuring Conrad Black attracted 993,000 viewers at 8 p.m. last night on CBC Television. At 9 p.m. almost one million viewers (957,000) tuned in to the entire first episode of THE TUDORS, garnering more viewers than its American debut on Showtime this past April.
The Emmy-winning 10-part series THE TUDORS portrays King Henry VIII, England’s most infamous royal as never before – as a young, sexy, passionate and complex man who changed the course of history.
“We are very excited about our Tuesday night line-up. Canadians love Rick Mercer and the viewer response to THE TUDORS confirms it is one of the hottest shows this fall,” said Kirstine Layfield, CBC executive director of network programming.
