Better viewers are defecting to ITV: Better Unforgotten

Viewers of the BBC One thriller Better say they have been switching over in their droves after the return of ITV1 rival drama Unforgotten.

Tonight's episode, the third of series one, saw Lou and Vernon's plans to take Col down threaten a bloody gang war, while Owen and Donal continued to become closer. Lots of dodgy dealings were going on throughout the episode, including a stand-off between the cops and gang members. Vernon, played by well-known actor Anton Lesser is a disgraced former cop, often seen with a cigarette and a disheveled outfit. He was working with the officers to try and get word into Bradford prison which leads to one prisoner being thrown down some stairs.

There had been hopes it might take the place of the massively popular Happy Valley, but the latest episode to air has also received a cold shoulder on social media, with a number of people switching off to watch ITV's Unforgotten.
