BBC3's fast turnaround documentary about Oscar Pistorius was watched by more than a million viewers, giving it a peaktime win over Channel 5.
Oscar Pistorius – What Really Happened? had 1.08 million viewers, a 4.3% share of the audience between 9pm and 10pm on Monday.
It was ahead of Channel 5's Robson's Extreme Fishing Challenge, with Robson Green, which had 999,000 viewers, a 4% share, also between 9pm and 10pm, Channel 5's most-watched programme of the day.
New BBC2 cookery show caught cold by Hollyoaks
A familiar recipe on BBC2 with the launch of another new cookery show, Country Show Cook Off, in which a pair of well-known chefs travel the country showing off their cooking skills.
But it wasn't entirely appetising fare with 953,000 viewers, a 4.5% share of the audience, down 42% on the channel's slot average over the last three months.
It was no match for Channel 4's Hollyoaks, which had 1.3 million viewers, a 6.1% share, also between 6.30pm and 7pm.
Radio Times said the new BBC2 show was "terribly British". They obviously missed a trick by leaving the words "Great British" out of the title.
