BBC One's Pointless has slightly extended its lead over ITV teatime rival The Chase.
Cult gameshow Pointless - which fully overtook The Chase last week - grabbed 3.58m (22%) between 5.15pm and 6pm on Friday (February 15), while the Bradley Walsh show had 3.3m (21.2%) in the 5pm hour.
Later in the evening, ITV's Great Night Out climbed further to 3.33m (15.3%) but only faced a BBC One repeat of New Tricks, which won the 9pm slot with 4.02m (18%).
Great Night Out, which added 185,000 on +1, still remains unlikely to be recommissioned despite its audience rise over the last fortnight.
Meanwhile, 8 Out of 10 Cats was Channel 4's highest-rated show with 1.54m (6.8%) between 9pm and 9.30pm, adding 233k on +1.
Elsewhere, Mastermind grabbed 2.28m (9.9%) for BBC Two at 8pm, while 1.13m (4.8%) watched Ice Road Truckers on Channel 5 (+1: 157k).
The Graham Norton Show managed a decent 3.48m (24.7%) in BBC One's late 10.35pm slot.

Pointless has taken a surprise lead over The Chase in the teatime ratings.
The BBC One quiz, hosted by Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman, pulled in 3.53m (22%) on Friday evening between 5.15pm and 6pm.
Bradley Walsh's The Chase, meanwhile, averaged 3.41m (22.2%) across the entire 5pm hour - still an impressive figure which consolidates its place as the broadcaster's biggest teatime show since Paul O'Grady.
The BBC's axing of afternoon children's programmes on its flagship channel has meant that Pointless inherits stronger audiences now.
Elsewhere on Friday (February 8), Great Night Out - ITV's struggling weeknight comedy drama set in Stockport - rose to 3.23m (14.1%) in the 9pm hour as well as 193k on +1.
While recording its best figure since it kicked off in mid-January, Friday's audience is still below ITV's slot average, meaning the show is unlikely to be rewarded a second run.
