Horne And Corden, the sketch show written by and starring Mat Horne and James Corden, was the most successful first series of a comedy on 91Èȱ¬ Three.

The series, which finished its run of six episodes last week, not only broke all previous records amongst the channel's target audience of 16-34s, but also amongst all audiences.

The series averaged 0.9 million viewers per episode and 6% share (10.7% share amongst the channel's target audience of 16-34s). This figure is up on the slot average for 16-34s and by +6 share points (see chart below).

Danny Cohen, Controller, 91Èȱ¬ Three, said: "Mat Horne and James Corden are wonderful young British talents – and I'm delighted their first series has performed so well.

"Horne And Corden has proved to be the most successful ever first series of a comedy in 91Èȱ¬ Three's history – for both young audiences and viewers across the board.

"It's a wonderful indication of their popularity with young people in particular, and it goes right to the heart of 91Èȱ¬ Three's mission to work with the best of young British talent."

Advanced discussions are underway between the producer Tiger Aspect and 91Èȱ¬ Three for a second series.

Horne And Corden was broadcast on Tuesdays on 91Èȱ¬ Three at 10.30pm.
