The tables below
show the
BARB ratings for BBC Two's transmissions of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Ignoring the odd
blank week for sport and Christmas, Buffy the first four
seasons have been shown in two blocks - up to Reptile Boy
from December 1998 to May 1999 and Halloween onwards from
October 1999. After season four finished in April 2001, the
BBC returned to the start of the series with repeats of season one.
From Amends onwards, we've also got the share %
for the 6.45pm broadcast and, where it made the BBC2 top 70, the
repeat. These are shown to the right of the respective audience
figure - the chart figure is for the combined audience. Where BBC2
Scotland transmitted Buffy on a Friday, the share % refers to the
Thursday (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) transmission only.
* An asterisk
indicates an episode for which the ratings for the repeat were not
listed.
