"The Drive of Life" Peaks at 34 Points TVB spent $10 million (HKD) to promote "The Drive of Life" earlier. Finally, the Cantonese version was aired in Hong Kong on Monday. The average ratings was 32 points, peaking at 34 points. Approximately 2.2 million viewers tuned in. In the past, only the finale of a series would rake in such ideal ratings. When the series first started, it pulled in 31 points and continued to climb to 33 points. At 10:29 PM, the scene flashed to Damien Lau Chung Yan meeting with his 2 younger brothers. Ratings peaked at 34 points during this scene, breaking a new record for the debut of a series. Recently, some netizens have complained about "Devil's Disciple," [citing improper language and forced jokes] demanding TVB to stop broadcasting it. TVB executive, Tsang Sing Ming, said this was impossible. "Devil's Disciple" achieved average ratings of 30 points. This series was similiar to Stephen Chow Sing Chi's classic series, "The Final Combat" and thus had a targeted audience. Source: Takungpao Credits to: Jayne
^not sure in HK, but in UK they have a sample of people from the population who have special TVs which record what channel they are watching this sample is then used to estimate how many people are watching said channel well thats what i read anyway
10mil to record the series? how much was the production budget? so many stars, so much investment in production. if it's bad, they are screwed! hehe .. what's considered good ... is the rating out of 35 pts?
