House beats Canarian politicians 4 to 1
Canarian viewers, it seems, have voted for House's caustic humor and brutal honesty! If it was no surprise to you that the EUFA cup final viewing figures beat those for last week's political debate between candidates for the Canary Islands presidency, it may not surprise you either that TV series, House (being shown on cuatro in Spain), also beat the politicians when the electoral debate was shown again last night.
House was watched by 189,000 viewers (30% of the viewing share), almost 4 times the number who watched the politicians (50,000 or 7.9%). Meanwhile, Los Serrano on Tele 5, also gained 25.3% of the Canarian audience; 165,000 viewers. The third most watched program of the night was Terminator 2, with 85,000 viewers, 14.2%.
The current betting on the "runners and riders" in the political race (actually, the question is Who won the TV debate?), according to one online poll being carried out by Canarias7, shows a significant lead (49% of responses) in favour of socialist candiadate, former Minister for Justice, Juan Fernando López Aguilar.
