The fact that occasionally, linear channels will clock up a decent audience is not surprising, given that the streamers are forcing the terrestrials and Sky to up their game.
And while an exceptional 13 million people watching this one series is a good result, it still doesn't compare to the audiences of 16 million that Coronation Street used to achieve on a regular basis.

May l remind you that Coranation Street were getting those audiences when we just had the 4 terrestrial channels and as such Line of Duty linear TV audiences of 12 to 13 million in the age of where there are many streaming outlets for TV viewers to frequent is pretty impressive.
