That Antony Cotton Show launched with 2 million viewers (17.6% share of available audience) at 5pm on Monday 13 August 2007. This was significantly up on the slot average of 1.7 million viewers (12.9%). It also attracted more than Channel 4's flagship daytime show, Richard & Judy, which pulled in just 1.1 million viewers (9.7%) at the same time.[1] However, by its third episode, the show had lost 500,000 viewers, drawing 1.5 million and a 13% share.[2] Viewership continued to fall further for Cotton's show. On 24 August 2007, only 1.1 million (11.5%) tuned in. The show's viewership slumped to below 1.1 million (10.4%) on 11 September 2007.[3]

The last episode aired on 17 September 2007. Initial reports suggested that the show had been recommissioned for a second run, with producers saying they would alter the format for the new series.[4] However, it was announced on 24 January 2008 that the show had been axed after just one series.[5]
