Subject: • Sluggish start for new Nail comedy
A new family comedy starring Jimmy Nail got off to a very slow start in the ratings on Friday.

Parents of the Band, in which Nail stars as a one-hit wonder from the '80s, pulled in just 2.61m (11.2%) to BBC One from 8.30pm. The figure is down on the 3.07m (13.3%) who saw the last episode of After You've Gone in the same slot a week earlier.

The comedy suffered from going up against Coronation Street on ITV1, which pulled in the day's best numbers with 8.79m (37.6%). An earlier episode had 8.6m (39.1%) at 7.30pm.

BBC One's EastEnders picked up 8.16m (36.4%) at 8pm and a further 370k (1.9%) on BBC Three. Emmerdale took its usual third place amongst the soaps, with 6.82m (33.4%) at 7pm.

Hollyoaks had 1.64m (8.3%) for Channel 4 at 6.30pm, then 466k (2.6%) for E4 at 7pm. At 10pm, Hollyoaks Later concluded with 390k (2.2%) on E4 and 290k (3%) on E4+1. Across the week, the spinoff series has averaged a strong 632k (4%) for E4 and 211k (2.5%) for E4+1.

On Five, Neighbours had 1.51m (9.5%) and a double-bill of Home & Away brought in 921k (4.9%) and 666k (3.4%).
