*The Official BB14 Ratings Thread*

[*mazedsalv**]

Ratings will be very low tonight. Match has run to penalties, I expect a 8m+ peak. For BB, 1.1m incl +1 I think.

[Jake.]

Shame, a good episode

[Jemal]

Go on..

[*mazedsalv**]

No BB rating yet, but the doc before it got a huge 2m against the footie! :shocked: It's going to look bad for BB when it gets around 1.1m! However found this on Twitter... Ch5 thrashed Ch4 last night:

Sam Bagnall ‏@nigelsleftboot
C4 behind C5 in the ratings last night between 8pm and midnight.

So BB beat Ch4 in the 10pm slot and BOTS beat Ch4 in the 11pm slot.

All Day shares:
C5 - 5.1% (inc +1)
C4 - 4.1% (inc +1)

Ch4 must have done very badly. Pretty sure that is the biggest C5 victory against C4 for a long time.

[Jemal]

So do you have any ratings of the channel 4 shows at 10 so we know what the bb ratings is more than.

[*mazedsalv**]

So do you have any ratings of the channel 4 shows at 10 so we know what the bb ratings is more than.

The ratings are coming out so slow. We have had the BBC1, BBC2 and ITV ratings for over an hour and a half now. Maybe BB and C4 ratings were so low, they don't want to release them!

[Jemal]

Lmao I fear for the ratings in the future especially in the BB 10pm time slot. But I think one positive is that its beating channel 4 in the ratings and imo if channel 5 axe bb, channel 4 have more of a reason to take on bb again, if you get me?

Yep I understand. I'm more baffled by Ch5 beating Ch4 by a whole percentage share point. Usually when they beat Ch4 (rarely) it is only by 0.1-0.3%. So either Ch4 flopped very badly and go under 800k across 5 hours last night, or Ch5 did great (we know the Ch5 doc did, but not sure if BB did).

I dont really watch channel 4, well not since bb got axed. It doesn't have a mainstream show imo like bb was, i may be wrong (suggestions wanted) i cant think of any good shows on c4 at those evening times. It certainly will be of interest to them seeing that c5 is doing way better than them in the ratings and also that their own former show being apart of that success must be painful for them.

But no doubt about it, no matter how many viewers it gets BB will always be mainstream imo. Its just that the difference is back in the day their were less shows to compete with them. But now there are so many shows in the same time slot, which will obviously make the show suffer.

[*mazedsalv**]

1.29m (7.1%) excluding +1 for BB.

Surprised by BB and how high it is against the footie. Highest excl +1 rating since Monday which is good. Should be around 1.38m with +1.

Channel 4's, First Dates got 1m incl +1.

It beat last Thursday which got 1.24 excl +1.

[Jemal]

!!

[Gstar]

No one cares about football

[*mazedsalv**]

No one cares about football

Really? Tell that to the 6m who watched last night and the 20.3m average that watched England Vs Italy last year.

[emmetmcl]

No one cares about football

lol, well I was watching it :)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

FFS!

Im pissed off at seeing every episode rate under 1.4 now.

Hope tonight has a big push.

[JohnnyBB]

FFS!

i doubt tonight will have much effect, producers failed with a week 2 twist they only have themselfs to blame.

[Jake.]

Pretty good all things considered

[*mazedsalv**]

FFS!

Im pissed off at seeing every episode rate under 1.4 now.

Hope tonight has a big push.

I'm pretty sure it got between 90-110k on +1 so I expect around 1.40m for last night. Great against the footie really. It hammered Ch4 which got 970k at 10pm.

Tonight... 1.6m?

[Jake.]

I'd love for tonight to do well, something above 1.6

[*mazedsalv**]

I'd love for tonight to do well, something above 1.6

I will predict 1.59m including +1.

[Jake.]

I will predict 1.59m including +1.

Has it got anything in hte name of competition tonight Salv?

[*mazedsalv**]

Has it got anything in hte name of competition tonight Salv?

Same as last week pretty much:

C4- Million Pound Drop
BBC1- Miranda/Ms Browns Boys repeats
ITV- Britain's Secret Homes

[Jake.]

Same as last week pretty much:

C4- Million Pound Drop
BBC1- Miranda/Ms Browns Boys repeats
ITV- Britain's Secret Homes

Might be a surprise then, I'm going 1.7 for tonight, will thrash MPD anyway

[Jemal]

This should be made a sticky;
Anyways im confident the eviction show last night made up for the weeks poor ratings.

[Jake.]

Hoping for 1.7, if it could match Sallie's eviction then that'd be great

[Jemal]

6.1m incl +1

[Jake.]

6.1m incl +1

You bastard :joker:

[Jemal]

You bastard :joker:

LMAO:laugh3::laugh3:

You were about to throw a celebration wernt you

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So where are they?!

[Jake.]

According to DS, 4 and 5 had a tied share of 4% last night..

[Jemal]

Where's Salv when you need him :(

[daniel-lewis-1985]

According to DS, 4 and 5 had a tied share of 4% last night..

Well that's not very promising.

[Jake.]

Well that's not very promising.

Nope, not for either of them... still reckon 5 beat 4 in the 9PM slot

[Jake.]

1.5 million according to DS, not sure if that's with plus 1

[*mazedsalv**]

1.5m including +1 :(

It's a shame it couldn't be 1.7m+. Guess we can expect that for evictions now. It is still pretty much higher than most BB12 and BB13 evictions, but 300k down on Sallie's eviction.

[Jake.]

:(

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Literally is crap.

[*mazedsalv**]

Literally is crap.

It sucks :( But it wasn't worthy IMO. Sallie's eviction was car crash TV. A lot happening, Michael's reveal, etc... Last night was a bit flat.

[Jake.]

Agreed about Sallie's eviction, that really was amazing

[*mazedsalv**]

The exactt figures for last night...

1.48m excluding +1, 48k on +1
= 1.53m.

[Headie]

I don't know why you were all expecting big figures. Last weeks eviction was hard to call between Gina and Sallie so most people watched to see who would get evicted/how the housemates would react to Michael being revealed, whereas this week it was blatantly obvious that Jemima was a goner.

[*mazedsalv**]

Good news for Channel 5... MPD got 1.16m so BB eviction beat that by quite a bit :)

Emma wins again against Davina.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

When do we get the next set of officials?

[*mazedsalv**]

When do we get the next set of officials?

We get them every Monday afternoon.

[Gstar]

It would have been higher if MPD wasn't on, channel 4 keep ******ing doing it on purpose

[Jarrod]

What did BBBOTS get?

[JohnnyBB]

C5 thursday (exc +1): Hotel Inspector 441k; Cowboy Traders 879k; Help! I'm 16 But Look 60 1.84m; Big Brother 1.29m; BB's BOTS 477k.

[Buck]

So... how good/bad are the ratings really? Do we have to worry that C5 might not continue Big Brother (the civilian version)? :(

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So... how good/bad are the ratings really? Do we have to worry that C5 might not continue Big Brother (the civilian version)? :(

Yes.

No denying they aren't good enough to warrant spending money on it every year.

Just look at Thursday BB got 1.29 million and a Channel 5 documentary almost made 2 million.

BB isn't remaining as the backbone of Channel 5 as we were expecting it to be.

[*mazedsalv**]

Yes.

BB isn't remaining as the backbone of Channel 5 as we were expecting it to be.

We really don't need to worry. BB helps Ch5 and that's that. It's like ITV getting rid of The X Factor (as ratings wise it was behind IAC and BGT this last year). BB, for has beaten Ch4 almost every night since it's been on. Ch5 will be stupid to drop it.

As someone who has studied ratings since I was like 12... if they drop BB, then it would be the same as ITV dropping TXF, CH4 dropping 24 Hrs in A&E and BBC2 getting rid of Top Gear

[Rob!]

Wonder if the early start will bugger things up tonight?

[Jarrod]

Anything?

[*mazedsalv**]

Horrible ratings. They exclude +1 though... I knew the horrible 8:45pm start (which loads missed) would damage it. An dup against the bloody LF.

Big Brother - 844k (4.2%)

I just hope with +1 it would have just touched 1m. But doubt it. I am not surprised. What a pathetic time for BB. +1 should add a fair bit. Most people missed the first 15 mins.

[JohnnyBB]

thats diree! Big Brother's Bit on the Psych - 415k (2.4%) exc +1 Million Pound Drop 1.1m

[*mazedsalv**]

I hope the officials are good tomorrow. What do we predict? Around 300-400k to be added on each? I'm most looking forward to see how far over 2m Sallie's eviction got. A lot of decent ratings we got last week..., 1.50, 1.42, 1.35m, 1.31m, 1.83m, 1.1m and 1.53m.

My predictions...
Monday- 1.83m
Tuesday- 1.76m
Wednesday- 1.70m
Thursday- 1.60m
Friday- 2.07m
Saturday- 1.44m
Sunday- 1.80m

What do you think?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Shockingly bad but I expected it.

Will be interested to see the officials tomorrow.

[Jemal]

Incl +1 should be about 1m

What is it

[Gusto Brunt]

thats diree! Big Brother's Bit on the Psych - 415k (2.4%) exc +1 Million Pound Drop 1.1m

And yet most of trash on ITV and BBC get millions of viewers.

Cookery shows, doing the house up; antiuques, ALL TRASH but get better ratings than BB.

[*mazedsalv**]

Incl +1 is what

Not sure. This week, the places that announce the ratings have been ****. We have hardly got the +1 ratings this week. Which is probably better when the officials come out tomorrow, hope we get a few big time shifts.

[iRyan]

Sucks to see such a great episode get such poor ratings

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Thats terrible ratings, I think it's because LF didn't finish until 9pm, I watched it on plus 1 last night, hopefully a lot of people did that to, the ratings may rise a bit.

[Samm]

They should of stared it at 9 yesterday

[Marcus.]

ohhhhhhhhh
not fab

[Me. I Am Salman]

:/

[The_Big_Send_Off]

Big Brother Up against skins tonight, bad move in imo, skins has a big hype due to being last series and old characters returning, can see skins getting 1.5m+... i wil be watching bb on +1 tonight

[Jemal]

It won't. People know about face to face noms today, they mentioned it on eviction night.
But anyways, any news?

[*mazedsalv**]

Big Brother- 1.41m including +1.

Not bad considering a lot of things were down due to weather. Highest rated HL show of the week. And it was a good one which is a plus.

Ch4 at 9pm The Returned got 1.11m incl +1 against BB. So another win for Ch5.

[*mazedsalv**]

The officials are out for Week 2:

Monday 17/06: 1.93m*
Tuesday 18/06: 1.81m
Wednesday 19/06: 1.65m*
Thursday 20/06: 1.67m*
Friday 21/06: 2.20m*
Saturday 22/06: 1.51m
Sunday 23/06: 1.97m
--------------------------------
Week average: 1.82m

*=+1 figures not available for these episodes so an increase of 100,000 has been applied to give close estimate of total viewership.

So we added 100k to the ones with a * because for those, they would have gotten around 100-140k, but on BARB, the C5+1 only shows the Top 10 (and BB only made 3 spaces in the Top 10 for the +1 channel).

Great figures for the eviction, 2.1m excl +1, so yes, around 2.2m including +1. The best HL show ratings come from Sunday. It got 1.97m incl +1 which is very decent! So very close to hitting 2m for a HL show!!

[Me. I Am Salman]

Good stuff, what were the week 1 officials though?

[*mazedsalv**]

Good stuff, what were the week 1 officials though?

Week 1 were posted last week...

How is the official average of this series comparing to last years official average so far?

[Samm]

Ratings are ok

[Gstar]

It does have potential to hit 2 million, the face to face nominations episode might just do it (in the officials)

[*mazedsalv**]

It does have potential to hit 2 million, the face to face nominations episode might just do it (in the officials)

No way. Tonight I think it will be at like 1.2m. It won't do it in the officials. Really doubt it. Skins is starting again, and I feel it will get something like 1.5m.

[Gstar]

It will be spread by word of mouth, people like face to face noms; it's been a bit overdone but there's still interest

[Jake.]

Amazing second week ratings

[jackc1806]

What is the official series average so far?

[*mazedsalv**]

What is the official series average so far?

1.915m approx. Not exact because we added 100k to the ones we didn't get the +1 for. But some would have been higher than 100k and some lower for +1.

Fantastic

[*mazedsalv**]

For Saturday...

Including +1, the audience was a healthier looking 1.02m (5.11%). Quite a big increase via +1, nearly 20% of the audience coming through C5's catchup service.

+1 saved Saturday from going sub 1m.

[crazycolaist]

i wish they could start adding on demand ratings soon, i did hear that they are. but would pull in a few hundred thousand maybe a million,

but yeah other than that i think saturday should just be treated a little bit differently cause looking at bbspy on the ratings board saturday had the least views the week before. so majority of them people probally caught up on demand (lets face it weeks u have a weekender others not) so yeah should have that in mind.

other than that i think its a pretty sucessful year so far. but they need to keep this secret and lies thing up. Michael was a really good twist but it just died completely when he left.

[iRyan]

Is BB and Skins on at the same time tonight? If so, it'll be bad ratings for BB

[*mazedsalv**]

Big Brother- 1.45m including +1

2nd highest rated 10pm rating of the series.

Looks like BB really dented Skins which returned with 783k. Ch5 thrashed Ch4 which could only get 443k at 10pm!

[Jemal]

*Jerks*

[Jemal]

All those who said bb will suffer cause of skins :laugh:

[Jordan.]

Skins deserved more :nono: Good for BB though.

[Gypsy]

wow that is a surprise

Doesn't the officials, that are realeased one week later, include the on demand services?

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

That's good news the ratings were slightly higher

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Big Brother's latest episode attracted 1.45m (8.7%) at 10pm.

Bit on the Side rose to 643k (7.6%) at 11pm.

Channel 5 had a really good night.

On Channel 5, Gibraltar: Britain in the Sun brought in 1.40m (6.5%) at 8pm. CSI continued with 1.77m (7.7%) at 9pm.

[*mazedsalv**]

The 1.45m was EXCLUDING +1.

The full average was 1.53m (inc. +1).

Last night was the highest rated 10pm show of the series and the 2nd highest HL show of the series. (the highest was 1.57m).

That's fantastic! OMG! Salv any chance this series could average 2million officially? 1.9m at the moment? If it keeps growing like this could it?

[*mazedsalv**]

That's fantastic! OMG! Salv any chance this series could average 2million officially? 1.9m at the moment? If it keeps growing like this could it?

If it continues to get 1.4-1.5m for HL shows and 1.6m-1.7m for evictions throughout the series it will be pretty much be a solid 1.9m-2.0m. It depends how well they time shift. Last nights show should get around 1.90m officially. There is always a drop mid series-the end. So I probably expect around 1.8m (similar to BB13, but that confuses me, no one is really sure whether BB13 averaged 1.7m or 1.8m. It's like a mystery) :p

But if 1.53m watched last night, surely over 1.6m should watch the eviction. We could see a 1.7m for Friday (but the warm weather may damage it).

You also have to consider people probably gave up last year due to the fact of the Euros and Olympics and didn't have the time to watch both. People also got bored of the bitching, this series is probably more engaging to people.

[Jake.]

If this series can average 1.9 then that'd be fantastic

[*mazedsalv**]

Massively damaged by TOWIE last night.

1.23m excluding +1. Including +1 it should be at 1.32m. But don't panic, I'm sure tonight it will be back over 1.4m and Friday should beat last Friday. I expect 1.6-1.7m. Last night was just unlucky.

[Vanessa]

It's still ok for 10 pm. :spin:

[Jake.]

Ouch, what did Towie get?

[Samm]

*******ing towie

[Rob!]

****ing TOWIE!!!! Hate it!! Urgh.

[Gypsy]

How can people still watch TOWIE? It was okayish series 1-2 but now it's just awful mess

[Jake.]

It got far more viewers than Towie did and double the share

[*mazedsalv**]

Still don't know what +1 was, but it was the highest rated Weds ep of the series (Weds always struggle against TOWIE).

[neneu10]

It's fantastic to Ch5

[*mazedsalv**]

Boards were down all day, finally I can post ratings here. Good news

Last night yet again received the highest excluding +1 rating for a HL rating for the series. Last night got 1.46m excluding +1. Including +1 must be around 1.54m-1.56m.

Ch5 again thrashed Ch4 for 4 hours!!! 8pm-midnight.

Tonight will be hard. I think this Murray game will certainly run into Big Brother and clash with it which will be a HUGE blow, BUT hopefully Ch5+1 at 10pm can record a massive figure. If it wasn't going to clash and the weather wasn't so nice, I would have expected 1.8m+

[Jake.]

:love: great that it's hitting highs once more

[Samm]

Wimbledon finishes at 8:00 it won't run Into BB

[*mazedsalv**]

Wimbledon finishes at 8:00 it won't run Into BB

Wimbeldon will run until 10pm or something and then EE will come on. Both will clash with BB. Look out for a very low BB rating tomorrow.

[Headie]

They've decided to close the roof on the court and it will take 20 mins.

Surprise surprise, BB starts in 20 mins :D Looks like it's not gonna be good for BB tonight, despite the twist.

[Jake.]

I'm dreading the ratings:
UK TV Ratings ‏@TVRatingsUK 14s
The peak of 13.24m/54% came at 9.35pm, as Murray won. The whole broadcast from 6.30 to 9.45pm averaged 9.68m/47.1% on @BBCOne.

[@bbuk_fans]

Ratings will be awful, bbc 1 got 13m + at 9.30 last night

[Jemal]

Lmao. Just gonna scrape a million then i guess. But will probably peak at 1.3 for people flicking back and forth.

[Jake.]

+1 should hopefully be higher than normal

[oathbreaker]

+1 should hopefully be higher than normal

aye.
first half was meh but Gina and dexters reactions were classic BB.
Gina really has turned things around I can see her winning this or least top 3 at this rate

[Rob!]

Do we know yet? I'm going to prepare myself for 400k just in case :( :D

[@bbuk_fans]

1.34 last night. Not too bad actually. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a496260/andy-murray-wimbledon-semi-final-scores-97m-on-bbc-one.html

Oh, surprisingly good. I was expecting far worse. :amazed:

[g17m]

its not that bad actually, that episode deserved more. look at channel 4 though! they must be weeping

[Gypsy]

with or without +1 ?

[jackc1806]

with or without +1 ?

Without

[Rob!]

Ace ratings considering :dance:

[Samm]

Ha Ha Channel 4 got destroyed.

Not bad ratings could of been better without the tennis on at the same time

[*mazedsalv**]

1.34m excluding +1. I really wonder how +1 did. Very good considering.

[*mazedsalv**]

1.20m excluding +1. Very good for a Saturday in hot weather. It was around 350k up on last weeks excl +1 figure. 10pm really helped it. Tonight we should see over 1.5m, would have been over 1.6m if it was less warm.

[*mazedsalv**]

Excl +1, BB came 2nd in it's slot at 10pm just behind BBC1 :shocked: On a SATURDAY!

[Rob!]

:amazed: I ****ing love this show :D

[Jemal]

Do channel 5 pay attention to all these little details like we do?

[oathbreaker]

Really good rating for Saturday night
Davina bettet watch out C4 only seem to rate well in Shock Doc's or nudity.
the guy with the 10 stone testicles will be her next contestant at this rate ;)

[Samm]

If BB carrys on like this I am sure the normal BB will not be axed

[Rob!]

Surely these ratings justify the show beyond next year? I k ow in themselves they're not great ratings but Big Brother does really well for the channel! Coming second to the BBC on a hot day like yesterday?? :dance:

[Pronshi]

Guys as long as big brother scores 1.3 million excluding +1 on just channel 5 overnights at least 3-4 times a week big brother isn't going anywhere.

Big brother delivers slightly up ratings compared to other shows but the thing is it 9/10 times it delivers good ratings constantly.

[oathbreaker]

Richard Desmonds Ego is famous.
he will be drooling at the thought of beating Channel 4 almost nightly.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

That's really good ratings over the weekend especially on Friday cause of the tennis.

[*mazedsalv**]

Round up:

Thursday- 1.46m excluding +1
Friday- 1.34m excluding +1
Saturday- 1.20m excluding +1

We are looking at around 1.55m, 1.50m and 1.28m including +1 IMO.

[Jake.]

Great Saturday rating!

[aman201]

Looking good so far.

[Marcus.]

yesssssssssss

[SSL2012]

What a crap rating, to think it used to get over 2.5million a few years ago. ;P

[Pronshi]

What a crap rating, to think it used to get over 2.5million a few years ago. ;P

It used to get over 5 million a few years go too.

[Jake.]

What a crap rating, to think it used to get over 2.5million a few years ago. ;P

Times have moved on, it's been on air for 14 years and it's not the channel 4 anymore ;p

[*mazedsalv**]

What a crap rating, to think it used to get over 2.5million a few years ago. ;P

Even at it's peak, ratings would fall to 3m on Saturdays when they were getting 6m for evictions. And yes, it's on Ch5 now. These ratings are pretty ddamn good.

BB came 2nd in it's slot on a Saturday. I think it's one of the first ever times it's happened in 14 years.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Cant wait to see tomorrow officials

[Jake.]

Cant wait to see tomorrow officials

I'm looking forward to it, I reckon it'll pretty much match what we've had so far

[Rob!]

The "eviction" will hopefully be a decent increase. :)

[DanielLuis]

People only talk about the fact that it's been 14 years and it's on C5. C5 is more watched than C4 when BB is on. The thing is, less and less people watch TV, so the ratings will clearly decrease.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Any news?

Im salivating here.

[*mazedsalv**]

Saturday got 1.28m including +1. Very good for a Saturday.

Shame about last night though, it got 1.33m last night including +1. It was heavily dented by BBC2 Top Gear which clashed with BB for 20 minutes and I hear that it took around 200k-300k from the Sunday rating. The weather dented everything apart from obviously Wimbledon which peaked at 17.30m and Top Gear.

There are yet no incl +1 for Thursday and Friday. I will keep everyone posted.

[@bbuk_fans]

1.17 last night excluding +1

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Crap rating for a Sunday especially as it was on at 9pm.

What time do we get the officials today?

[*mazedsalv**]

Crap rating for a Sunday especially as it was on at 9pm.

What time do we get the officials today?

I think we expected it at the end of the day for yesterday. 1.33m is a it low but not a disaster. Mamma Mia could barely get 2m at 9pm when it premièred with 5m a couple of years ago. The White Queen dropped again to 4m at 9pm.

Urm I think around 2pm-3pm for the officials. I bet a few +1 will be missing like last week. What a pain.

[*mazedsalv**]

Friday: 1.43m clashed with Andy Murray's semi-final victory
Saturday: 1.28m
Sunday: 1.33m partial clash with Top Gear

Same weekend in BB13 rated as follows...

Friday: 1.48m
Saturday: 1.11m
Sunday: 1.28m clashed with Spain's Euro 2012 victory

So, it looks like BB14 is just beating BB13 in the same weekend. That is quite an impressive figure for the eviction considering the competition and for Saturday also. It was just let down by last night.

[Rob!]

Well last night it was also put against the Wimbledon highlights - it was never going to do great.

[*mazedsalv**]

The officials are out, but some are missing the +1... again. The Week 2 officials don't look that good to be honest. But to be honest, the Week 2 has been the lowest ratings for the show out of the three weeks even on overnights. The week just gone (Week 3) did better than Week 2. Which is why the officials don't look that great.

Monday- 1.61m excluding +1
Tuesday- 1.79m including +1
Wednesday- 1.65m including +1
Thursday- 1.63m excluding +1
Friday- 1.72m excluding +1 (Jemima's eviction). Around 1.82m with +1
Saturday- 1.39m including +1
Sunday- 1.80m including +1

Week 3 will be interesting because two shows got HL highs. 1.45m and 1.46m excluding +1, officially we could be looking at around 1.90m for both incl +1

[Samm]

Ratings are looking good

[Jake.]

Ratings really aren't that bad imo

[Rob!]

Week 2 was actually pretty good :)

[*mazedsalv**]

Week 3 will be higher though. Also, I personally thought Week 3 was brilliant and better than Week 2 and it reflected in the ratings. But still decent officials for W2.

[MTVN]

Big Brother continued with 1.38m (7.8%) at 10pm.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a496829/andy-murray-documentary-scores-nearly-4-million-on-bbc-one.html

[Jake.]

Another decent rating for 10PM! And that wouldn't include plus 1? So possibly 1.45ish with it?

[*mazedsalv**]

That was excluding +1. Incl +1 I reckon it would have been around 1.46m. The excl +1 figure was the highest rated Monday HL show and was up 90k on last week. Yet again, Ch5 beat Ch4.

Skins got 600k incl +1.

[Jake.]

:D

[*mazedsalv**]

Big competition tonight with Geordie Shore. And before anyone says it's not competition, it really is. Everyone I know who watch BB will watch GS instead tonight. It will return with around 500k and will take a chunk out of BB.

For me, I am recording Geordie Shore. Strange that they advertised it on Ch5 yesterday, why? It just increases their chances.

[*mazedsalv**]

All Day Shares for Monday, July 8:

BBC One: 21.3%
ITV: 20.4% approx
Channel 5: 5.0%
Channel 4: 4.6%
BBC Two: 4.2%

Ch5 gets the 3rd highest all day share of all the channels, for the first time in 2013 I think.

Geordie Shores last finale got 1,073,000 so I doubt it will return with only 500k.

Its major competition for BB.

[*mazedsalv**]

Geordie Shores last finale got 1,073,000 so I doubt it will return with only 500k.

Officially it time shifts a lot. It usually gets 500-600k overnights. I reckon around 540k and it will timeshift over a million.

[Rob!]

Been meaning to ask this for a while but what does time shift mean?

Also the thought of Geordie Shore being competition for BB makes me feel Ill. It's SUCH a trashy show.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

#Geordieshore has been trending pretty much all day.

[Rob!]

So this is now weekly competition for BB is it?

[*mazedsalv**]

Big Brother- 1.42m including +1. Very good as it was up against Geordie Shore.

BOTS did fantastically because of the Katie interview. It managed 793k including +1.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Big Brother- 1.42m including +1. Very good as it was up against Geordie Shore. Is that the highest Tuesday show?

i think mtv moved there channel from the music section on virgin ect so that confused the veiwers alot they thought they didint have it anymore! muahah smashing veiwer figures i though bb would have got distroyed.

Jeordie shore or whatever it is shares the same key viewer demographics as BB and when a show like that is on people will watch it.

It is. The biggest threats to BB is TOWIE and Geordie Shore because they share the exact same demographic. It's the same when soaps clash...

TOWIE and Geordie Shore are more competition for BB than Wimbeldon and the football (unless it's a World Cup/Euro) in terms of demo.

Beat C4 by 2% and 400000 viewers :D

[Jake.]

Glad how 5 keep on thrashing 4 now, and even just when BB is on. You really have to wonder whether 4 regret it or not.

[jackc1806]

Glad how 5 keep on thrashing 4 now, and even just when BB is on. You really have to wonder whether 4 regret it or not.

Jay Hunt the C4 controller hates BB. The problem with C4 is they keep producing ****e shows and they don't have a big show like BB that brings in viewers and introduces viewers to their content. I really think C4 need a big change or they will be in terminal decline, they are being thrashed every night even 24 hours in A+E is getting much less viewers that it used to.

[jackc1806]

I think C5 is a much better channel now. I actually enjoy quite a lot of their stuff.

[Jake.]

Yeah I can't remember the last time I actually watched a show on 4 after 7PM

[The_Big_Send_Off]

true, c5 has turned into a way better channel since bb, and c4 has been relieing on there shows like big fat gypsy wedding etc...

what do you think bb would getting if it was still on C4? i recon around 2m?

[Jake.]

I think, had it of been done properly (one CBB a year in the winter, proper promotion and what not) BB would be averaging the same as BB10

It depends, C4 as a channel have lower figures now because BB isn't there anymore. It was in natural decline and if you take into account BB10 got 2.5m, 2m could be about right.

[Jake.]

And if 4 hadn't of cancelled it and just left it to rest for a few years, it could have been averaging a few million in a couple of years time

[Jemal]

You know how channel 5 keep choke slamming channel 4?
Do they both notice these things? Or are we the only Ones who does.

[jackc1806]

They both will be, C4 will be ****ting themselves but Jay Hunt is too stubborn to act/ doesn't have a decent plan to get them healthy again. Ben Frow is very good at his job, C5 will only grow with plans to produce more homegrown content, reducing and shifting imports to 10pm. I fully expect BB to be in his plans.

[SSL2012]

BB got an 8% share of the audience, that's looking pretty healthy to be fair.

Towie looks to be running out of steam.

[The_Big_Send_Off]

TOWIE is on its way out... only way that show would be saved is if they brougt back the originals..

big brother seems to be clawing its way back.. every series is gaining more viewers surely that a good thing

[JohnnyBB]

if channel 4 bought the rights to the glass house, it would smash bb raitngs, big time.

[*mazedsalv**]

1.45m for a Wednesday. Pretty sure that makes it the highest rated Wednesday show. With the least competition of the week, I am sure tonight could climb a tiny bit.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

1.45m for a Wednesday. Pretty sure that makes it the highest rated Wednesday show. With the least competition of the week, I am sure tonight could climb a tiny bit.

The thing is they seem to be matching last years overnights so far but the time shifts aren't that great.

Its probs gonna average 1.6.

Cant see how people are thinking its gonna be a 2 million average.

[Jake.]

Big Brother got just over 1.50 million inc +1:

Channel 5's Extraordinary People secured 662k (3.5%) at 8pm (97k/0.6%), followed by the latest Big Brother with 1.45m (8.8%) at 10pm (69k/0.8%).

I would love a 2 million tonight but a 500,000 jump is a bit much to ask lol.

I thought ratings would be lower though with this weather its been unbearable to stay in.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

My god Channel 4 are doing awful.

On Channel 4, Supersize vs Superskinny brought in 573k (3.1%) at 8pm (150k/0.8%). First Dates continued with 562k (2.8%) at 9pm (154k/0.9%), while Eye Spy was seen by 685k (4.2%) at 10pm (171k/1.8%).

[Jamesy]

I'm happy that Big Brother ratings have stayed more or less consistent. I still think apart from the 'hardcore' fans there is still a certain amount of the general public that watch/are interested in the show. Looking on Facebook and stuff I've seen people mentioning Big Brother more and also speaking to friends they've stayed switched on to this series (when last year they gave up quickly).

Given viewing figures are not dropping severely and just fluctuating stably I think Big Brother is doing better than ever on Channel 5.

[*mazedsalv**]

Last night- 1.52m including +1

The highest rated 10pm show of the series. The highest Thursday HL show.

So far, this is the 3rd week where on average, the ratings have climbed.

Week 1 was the highest obviously (boosted by the two launches), Week 2 was the lowest week, then Week 3 there was a boost and then yet another boost for this week (Week 4). The overnights...

Week 1- 1.60m
Week 2- 1.32m
Week 3- 1.37m
Week 4 so far- 1.41m

Also ever since Saturday, the ratings have climbed this week every day.

[Pronshi]

1.65+ tonight and I will be very happy :)
That could easily reach 2 million officials :)

[Rob!]

Great to see :) surely they must be happy with that. At this rate, BB's main downfall will be when Frow starts bringing new programmes onto the channel that are bringing in higher ratings. Then we should start worrying. For now, it's looking good :) fingers crossed tonight's live feed goes well and onwards :)

Tonight may suffer though - repeats of Sherlock start tonight and if the repeats of things like Miranda and Mrs Brown's Boys are anything to go by, it could knock BB off it's perch :(

Is he the one whos brought that new drama "Love and Hate" I think its called to Channel 5?

It looks amazing like it should be on ITV or something it will probably get about 3 million I think considering the well known actors aswell.

I want Channel 5 to do well but at the same time want other programmes to fail so they have to keep BB lol.

The channel is growing though with its own home made documentaries ect getting high figures. 2 million+ for some :o

Yeah I know what you mean. :D

I assume it's Frow - Jeff Ford certainly didn't seem interested in premiering British dramas on Channel 5. Ben Frow's method seems to be to build on what they have now and then to introduce new programming as time goes on.

Channel 5 really does seem to be developing into the new Channel 4 with its programming.

The fact they are beating them in the ratings so often aswell.

Hope one day Channel 5 can shake off the stigma of being the crap channel or the one people are embaressed to watch lol.

Remember this is the channel that was launched by the Spice Girls as the next best thing.

[SSL2012]

That's a sound rating last night. Seems to be alot of buzz tonight, i'd expect the viewing figures to at least match yesterdays.

Going back to a previous post, even if five develop shows that bring in 2.5mil overnight, that can only help boost BB's audience, and if it was to boost the cbb average up to around 3million then five really would be laughing all the way to the bank.

[*mazedsalv**]

There is a lot of buzz online and on forums during this eviction. Hoping for over 1.6m.

[*mazedsalv**]

Big Brother- 1.53m including +1

Yes, it is up 100k on last week and the highest rating of the last 2 weeks, but I am quite disappointed! Everything was down, EE was in the mid 5m. Didn't think the weather would have had that much of an impact!

Million Pound Drop- 1.47m.

BB beats MPD yet again.

[Samm]

Not the best eviction ratings but at least we have had good highlight show ratings

[*mazedsalv**]

To put it in perspective:

BB13 Week 4 eviction (Lydia)- 1.35m
BB14 Week 4 eviction (Wolfy)- 1.53m

Week 4 of BB14 is the most watched after Week 1 of BB14 beating Weeks 2 and 3.
