Oopsy. Although I said that Moonlight was going to air on Virgin 1 in the UK, it's actually going to air on Living TV. Sorry - who knew Wikipedia isn't always accurate?
Anyway, Living are currently airing a semi-cool advert for the show - it's possibly a little cooler than the show itself - so you can give a try when it's on. Remember, it's not until about episode five or six that it starts to pick up (episode four if you can tolerate pop-video style direction). Here's the trailer below.

Hey Rob ~
You mentioned that Moonlight was set to debut on Living this past Tuesday. I just wondered if you knew how it did in the ratings. :)

Fraid not. None of the trades have reported the details and BARB ratings cost about £5000 a year to subscribe to, which is a bit rich for my blood ;-)
However, BARB will make the figures available for free in a fortnight or so, so I'll keep an eye out for you. FYI, this is Living's Top Ten for a couple of weeks ago, so you can see what the competition's like and how much it needs to get to enter the top 10. Figures are in 100,000s

Hi Rob ~
Thank you sooooo much for the ratings! Moonlight debuting in fifth place is lovely :) I've been getting tons of messages from new UK fans... and heard a rumor that the number of viewers is increasing every week. YEA!
I really appreciate you remembering to give me this info. I'll try not to let the news get out that you are a man of your word. Hahaha....

Hello Rob ~
For once, a rumor is true!
Since you have supplied me with ratings info for several weeks, now is my chance to return the favor :) Moonlight's ratings for the 4th week (Fever episode #1x04).... 237,000 viewers moved it up to 3rd place on Living's chart. Another increase. Yea! I'm not surprised because Fever is the episode that led to the show really taking off here also. The writers and cast hit their stride. Each week, Moonlight just got better and better.
Cordially ~
