Ja’mie King may have slipped with broadcast viewers but she continues to perform with online audiences, smashing iview records for the ABC.
Ja’mie: Private School Girl has now registered more than 810,000 plays for Episodes 1, 2 and 3 of the show on iview, making it the biggest show on the platform since its launch in 2008.
The previous most-watched program in one day was the premiere of Doctor Who Series 7 with 76,000 views – this record was smashed by Ja’mie with 216,000 plays in one day.
Last night the show rated 575,000 viewers, down from the premiere of 924,000.

Lilly’s making the mistake of taking his character too seriously. It’s okay to suspend disbelief and accept that Jaime is a quiche girl, but to try and sell the relationship with a hot boy as real, and Jaime as sympathetic is pushing it out of the realms of comedy. I don’t really know what this show is anymore.
I am confused. Didn’t you report that the first episode of Angry Boys had over a million views on iView. Now you are saying that Jaime has broken records by having 810k over 3 eps?
Is this reflective of the fact that the magic million is now the magic 800k? hahah
Bleachy the info is as provided by ABC. Angry Boys was an accrued total not a single day.
Implying it’s somehow difficult to fudge internet figures… Ever seen 4chan have their way with an online poll?
Huge catchup numbers. I haven’t bothered with this series after not enjoying episode one or the first part of episode 2.
Easily explained – perhaps parents are not allowing the actual audience for this show to watch it on the TV at home with the family, so they they are being driven online to see it.
David would I be correct in saying that the last time the ABC gave out iview numbers for a specific show it was for Angry Boys when it was tanking in the ratings? Angry Boys first eps got 1.4 million. Did Ja’mie really get more than that?

These numbers seem very selective. “More than 810,000” for 1,2 and 3. Is that more than 810k for each ep? Cumulative?
The adjusted figure for the premiere is1092k (882k ON + 210k +7).
Looks like there was somewhere around 400k iviews for the first episode, making 1.5m viewers for the first episode.
None of which changes that fact over a third of them didn’t bother to watch the 3rd episode.
This show is much better than Angry Boys, but Ja’mie is such a repulsive character with no redeeming characteristics. It’s a shame Lilley doesn’t have some other characters in there to break the monotony.
This is exactly why the ABC needs to do what the BBC does and has a monthly public report on the performance of its online video player. This would help to dispel the myth that the ABC is underperforming.
I thought Peppa Pig had the record for most iView plays.
