BBC drama Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light has trended on iPlayer.
The second season of the historical drama debuted earlier this month, continuing the story of Thomas Cromwell's rise to power under King Henry VIII.
The show – which includes stars Timothy Spall and Harriet Walter – has now proved to be a ratings hit, with Barb confirming that the first season 2 episode drew in over four million viewers in its first week.

That's ahead of soaps such as Emmerdale and EastEnders, and Wolf Hall sits as one of the most popular shows on iPlayer.
The series is based on the books by Hilary Mantel, and stars Mark Rylance and Damian Lewis as Cromwell and Henry.

"We made some changes in the cast for a variety of reasons," executive producer Peter Kosminsky recently explained. "Obviously very, very sadly, Bernard Hill died not long before we got going so it wasn't possible for him to return as the Duke of Norfolk."
He added: "I think the Duke of Norfolk is different in the new book. I think Tim fitted that really well."
Kosminsky also revealed that there are more roles played by people of colour in season 2, adding: "This is not something we did in the first series. I'm delighted we've been able to do it.
"We wanted the very best actors who are available for the show, and we looked at everybody, and we chose the best actors who auditioned for the roles."
Wolf Hall: The Mirror and The Light airs on Sundays on BBC One at 9pm.
