Downton Abbey’s long-awaited fourth season kicked off Sunday night in the UK with a 90-minute episode. Last year’s Season 3 debut episode on ITV1 drew 8.6M viewers, and this year’s first outing averaged 9.5M in the overnights, peaking at 10.5M viewers. It drew a 39.6% share. The Season 3 start was down 200K viewers from Season 2, but it still went on to become the show’s highest-rated season in the UK with consolidated ratings averaging 11.9M viewers for a 40% share.
