ITV's The Durrells has had 2016's biggest drama launch on any channel, bringing in 6.4 million viewers.
The channel tweeted the news following the show's first episode yesterday (April 3):
The Durrells is a new adaptation of the much-loved book My Family and Other Animals by naturalist Gerald Durrell.
Keeley Hawes stars in the six-part series, which has been written by Men Behaving Badly's Simon Nye.
The show follows the Durrell clan in 1935 as they decide to move from dreary Bournemouth to the sunshine of Corfu.
Louisa hates her kids (in a loving way) - sex-mad Larry (Josh O'Connor), gun-obsessive Leslie (Callum Woodhouse), unruly Margo (Daisy Waterstone) and of course animal-enthusiast Gerry (Milo Parker).
