The debut episode of the X-Files reboot has given Channel 5 its
biggest ever audience for a drama, the broadcaster has revealed.
Its consolidated audience - those who watched it live, plus those
who watched it over the following week - was 5.1 million, which equates
to 19% of all consolidated viewing in its time slot. That makes it Channel 5's highest-rating drama since its launch in 1997. The first episode of the new series was shown in the UK on 8 February.
