*The Official BB14 Ratings Thread*

[ahopkins]

I'm predicting 1.9 inc. +1! For Tonight :hugesmile:

[RichardG]

Big Brother - 1.60m (9.9%)

Excluding +1.

Great share and figure.

Hopefully we will get +1 later.

BB slayed the competition at 10 pm

Channel 4: "Legally High" 547k (3.4%)

BBC2: "Work Experience" 1.05m (5.9%)

Amazing! I was worrying that the ratings were going to dip after seeing Wednesday's viewing numbers, but thankfully it has bumped back up again. Great share too!

[*mazedsalv**]

Annoying we don't know the +1, but it will be around 70k, so last night was around 1.67m incl +1.

Tonight, I reckon around 1.78m which would make it the 2nd highest joint with Dan's eviction, I still don't think Sallie's 1.83m will be beaten. Dan's eviction got 1.78m and Callum's last week got 1.76m.

Also, even excl +1, last night was the highest rated Thursday show.

[ahopkins]

Competition for tonight:
9PM
BBC 1 - Fields of Blood (Got 3.36 million yesterday night, I expect less today as yesterday was the first episode)
BBC 2 - Natural world: Shrilanka Elephant Island (Don't know much. Guessing bad ratings)
ITV 1 - Doc Martin (Last week 3.03 million overnight)
Channel 4 - 8 out of 10 cats does countdown (1.42 exl. +1 last week. Good competition for channel 4. 4th highest rated show 2 weeks ago according to BARB)

So overall very tame competition at 9PM

10PM
BBC 1 - BBC News at 10 (That's some good competition. Ranked 17th on BBC1 with 4.39m 2 weeks ago. But people who watch big brother don't normally switch over to watch the news!)
BBC 2 - The Trip (Got 890K overnight last week. No worries!)
ITV 1 - ITV news (Not too sure, doesn't rank in the top 30 but I would expect 2m roughly)
Channel 4 - Sarah Millican Chatterbox live (Not sure as it's a new series but she is very popular so this could rate well. Well for Channel 4 that is :joker:

[ahopkins]

Sorry to make a triple post but I think this eviction will absolutely smash it in the ratings. A lot of casual viewers will think that this is the final eviction and therefore most important!
Plus the laughable competition will help so much. About 2m including +1

Is that how much ITV and BBC have been getting? 3 or 4 million? How can some people say BB gets horrible ratings then? It's not that far away from those numbers!

Yeah. Not including soaps BBC 1 and ITV struggle to reach the 5 million mark even though it's weekly

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Last night was brilliant.

Im going for 1.8 but it deserves 2 million.

Hazel owned that crowd and Emma tbf she should never have gone over Gina who was about to be exposed as the game player.

[cizzah97]

Anything my pretties? :xyxwave:

[Jemal]

Saturdays take longer.

[neneu10]

Anything ?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Nothing on any channels yet.

Think the people at barb are sitting in a beer garden somewhere.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Good rating for last night but it deserves more I think.

1.72 including +1

1.57m (8%) while a further 153k (1.1%) +1.

Big Brother's Bit on the Side followed with 861k (6.9%) at 10.30pm.

[g17m]

good rating, especially so far on in the series.. Shocks me how much BOTS gets if i'm honest because it's just terrible

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Article in OK! about rise in ratings.


IT's been a hit.

Big Brother 2013 has been a hit in the ratings.

As the Channel 5 show nears the big finale, it has been revealed that viewing figures for this year's series have gone up since last year.

The 'Secrets and Lies'-themed show has been watched by an average of 1.5 million people, 12% more than 2012.

The show has kept viewers hooked with hidden twists and shenanigans of housemates including Dexter Koh, Gina Rio and Hazel O'Sullivan.

Roll on the next series, we say

Looking good for next year.

http://www.ok.co.uk/celebrity-news/view/66613/Big-Brother-2013-Secret-and-Lies-series-is-ratings-winner

I don't think we give BB the credit it deserves when it comes to ratings especially when its beating BAFTA award winning shows (TOWIE & Made In Chelsea) which both get huge media attention compared to BB.

TOWIE: Averaged 1.29 last series

Made In Chelsea: Averaged 900,000 and those are both official figures.

[Jake.]

Great rating and a nice article, BB14 seems to be getting good press

[g17m]

just a shame about the launches getting low ratings, could have really helped the average if they had some proper, decent promotion for what is essentially a rebooted - rebooted series

1m excl +1. Around 1.1m incl +1, standard for every Saturday. Looks bad, BUT Ch5 came 2nd in it's slot. Everything else did badly too.

Up against BB:

BBC1- Mrs Browns Boys- 4.09m
BBC2- Q1 XL- 700k
ITV- The Americans- 860k
Ch4- Braveheart- 430k
Ch5- Big Brother- 1.0m

So when you look at it like that, not too bad at all :p

The fact it beat ITV. BBC2 and Channel 4 is brilliant.

Yes it looks low but not 1 episode has dropped beneath 1 million this year which is a first since its move to Channel 5.

[jackc1806]

Not many people watch Saturday's because they are either out or think it is a repeat of Friday's which it isn't :s

Still, second in it's slot behind the BBC only is fantastic. :dance:

[RichardG]

Second in its slot is amazing. It proves how loyal the fanbase is that so many people watch it every day. Few other programmes get that dedication from people.

[Jake.]

Second in its slot :D great stuff

[jackc1806]

1.396m inc+1
So rounds to 1.4, quite low

It deserved a low rating it was a terrible episode.

Tonight will be low aswell as its on at 9pm and hasn't really been advertised.

Think last nights borefest will also put people off.

Atleast we get officials today which should be high :)

[jackc1806]

Officials for w/e 4th aug

2 certain 2 million, 1 very likely 2 million rating.
Only 4 have +1 this week

Monday: 2,046,000 inc+1

Because that will be the figure to beat to ensure BB's continued survival.

Thanks. Looking like there's a reasonable chance of BB14 beating BB13 then. :)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Some good ratings there.

On wiki it says its averaging 1.79 without these latest officials so well up on last years 1.6 and surely that will climb when these figures are added?

Annoying theres loads of +1 figures missing this year as it would be a fair bit higher.

With the +1 figures all added this series should average 1.84 so far as 22/59 of official ratings are without +1. Can anyone post non-official ratings round-up of last week please?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Update: Its officially averaging 1.8 and that's with a lot of +1 missing :)

Sure Channel 5 will be happy seeing as its not that far behind CBB10 which had 2.2.

The lower CBB rates the better this series will look to Channel 5.

Anything sub 2 million would be amazing.
Sub 1.8 would be perfect lol.

Why have they moved BB to 9pm to accommodate for that Liz McClamon documentary tonight?

They have pitted BB against Davinas Long Lost Family on ITV which will slaughter BB in the ratings.

[erinp5]

Channel 5 has said it’s pleased with the ratings performance of Big Brother 2013: Secrets & Lies, with the series audience up 6% on last year.

According to details released last week, the current run has achieved a consolidated average audience of 1.9million viewers.

This is an increase of 200,000 on Big Brother 13′s 1.7million viewers, making it the most watched public series of Big Brother since the show moved to Channel 5 in 2011.

Meanwhile, the broadcaster also claims BB14 has proven a hit in its target demographics, reaching a total of 22million viewers – including 6million 16-34s and 3million housewives.

Nick Bampton, C5′s commercial sales director, said: “Great housemates and all the twists and turns the show has delivered have meant we’ve seen this really encouraging uplift in audience.

“It bodes well as we approach the final and then the launch of Celebrity Big Brother.”

C5 renewed its deal for Big Brother with production company Endemol last April, ensuring it will remain on our screens until at least the end of 2014.

The Big Brother final airs next Monday at 9.00pm and 10.55pm, before Celebrity Big Brother returns next Thursday at 9.00pm.

Ratings the past few nights haven't been great but considering when the series started we were thinking that was probably as high as it was going to get, I'm happy. :D

[RichardG]

There's naff all happening now - hopefully word of the twist will get out.

I admit, even i've found the past few episodes dull so yes, hopefully the twist will create some interest again.

[aman201]

I don't blame them, even i missed two episodes recently.

And that's coming from someone who watched every HL show of BB13 and every HL show of BB14 up until a few days ago.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Very poor.

The final really needed to be this Friday and not dragged out till next week.

Sad to see a series that kept rising just fizzle out.

[Rob!]

If the series IS going to peter out, at least it's happening now rather than midway through the run. For the most part, it's performed brilliantly and has, I hope, sealed the show beyond 2014.

[ahopkins]

Not good! I think C5 should revert to 1/2 hour highlight shows till the final.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

That's awful ratings but at least it's at the end of the series, it would have been worse if that was a rating for midway through the series.

[jackc1806]

1.3m (5.6%)

Did face footy which got 6.75m (8m peak) and 2.1m 24 in A+E

[Gstar]

Wow, what's with the massive decline?

[aman201]

It's gotten really bad that's why.

Worst end to a series for a good few years.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

1.3m (5.6%)

So is that including plus 1?

Low rating.

Noone really seems to know whats going on with it this week, The constant time changes, the failed f2f noms without the phone lines opening and then the bad editing.

Its just really confusing to the casual viewer.

It seems a complete different show to this time last week.

[Rob!]

It is at least staying above a million. Shame, I thought last night was a lot better.

[Jemal]

Im seriously just waiting for cbb now.

[@bbuk_fans]

1.47 last night (not including +1 I think), absolutely smashed Channel 4's One Direction documentary which only had 510,000 viewers. And everyone thought 1D would dent the ratings.

In fact BB had 3 times more viewers than Channel 4.

Last nights share was 9.0% which is brilliant.

Tonight really needs to get 1.7 to lift up this weeks average which has been poor and its going to be a push to reach 2 million for the finale.

Sunday: 1.39
Monday: 1.48
Tuesday: 1.35
Wedensday: 1.30
Thursday: 1.47

[Gstar]

Wasn't 1D's first week album sales 510,000 as well? That's pretty strange :laugh: I'm very superstitious and this is a little off topic

Tweet from digital spy reporter: @catrionaw890: The One Direction documentary got 510,000 viewers for Channel 4. Big Brother got 1.47m. So much for trolling for ratings...

Hoping it is actually 1.57 because that means people have returned.

Last night was a good episode.

[Redway]

Just in case anyone's interested - the link to the official (inc. +1) ratings is here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_14_(UK)#Ratings_and_reception

[SSL2012]

Around 1.58million, around 10% audience share, very nice figure for c5 there.

Good to see it rebound, 1.3mil is abysmal (BB13 figures)...Should at the very least hit 1.65 tonight. I'd make it a shock double eviction tonight.

And have a slightly longer interview for the remaining housemate's in monday's final.

Thats from DS.

[Samm]

Saturdays are always low

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Saturdays are typically low anyway and don't bother me.

Its this finale rating we need to give the series average a 1.9 or possibly 2 million if it draws in the viewers.

[Jordan.]

Haven't been following the ratings recently, is it looking likely that the series average will be higher than BB13?

[billy123]

Haven't been following the ratings recently, is it looking likely that the series average will be higher than BB13?Yes it will be higher but i dont necessarily buy into all the hype that it is increasing year on year because its getting better.
Last year it was up against the olympics and the year before that there was no +1 to boost it which hampered those series.
The likelyhood is that its holding steady and the same audience is there they just arent distracted by other things this year.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Haven't been following the ratings recently, is it looking likely that the series average will be higher than BB13?

This years up around 300k on BB13.

Loads of +1 figures missing this year which sucks.

Looking forward to tomorrows officials with the whole Hazel and Gina arguments im expecting high ratings which will put the average up and hopefully a good rating for the final.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

1.42

1.26m (5.7%) at 9pm (164k/1.0%).

Im not confident about the finale hitting 2 million tonight.

Theres no hype.

Slayed Channel 4 at 9pm last night though Southcliffe's final episode dropped to 977k (4.4%)

[SSL2012]

Not a great figure by any means, but then sundays haven't been as high as the weeknights all series in general.

Tonight will see a boost by at least 300-400,000 i would of thought.
Like Dan, i'm not sure it will hit the 2million but it doesn't matter a great deal anyway.

Been a great success with ratings average well up, if the final could top the launch even better.

The 2nd part should bring in around 1.3-1.5million so the share should be very high, could well be a slot winner.

I don't believe it will reach 2million, it'll probably just get an average eviction night rating of 1.7ish... especially as there's an hour break/it only finishes at 11:30pm (on a MONDAY!!)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So wheres the officials?

Usually have them by now.

Well the lead in certainly did well for under the dome - that's a great figure for it. Second part of the final though... Under 2 mill for a winners announcement is appalling. Good job it was only Sam :D

Appalling??

It was after 11pm, the audience share was almost 1/5th of the viewing public avaliable, and 4/5 times above the slot average for the channel. It done great. BB's skew a fair amount of young viewers. Alot would of gone to bed.

I was worried it would bomb at 11pm, but to peak at nearly 2million at that time is very impressive.

[jackc1806]

Slight error. Part 2 actually averaged 1.74m not 1.7

[Rob!]

I meant more that it was put in a position that it was going to get under 2 mill. It did do well though - but if that's with plus one, it meant that live it was below 2 mill.

Hopefully the officials will make it look even more respectable. :)

[SSL2012]

Highest rated final, highest rated series. Ben Frow will be delighted, just needs to market the launch next summer, and it should beat the 2.7million it got for the first c5 series.

[RichardG]

I'm genuinely shocked :joker: far better than I expected

[Pronshi]

SO HAPPY!
So in officials. Just as many people watched the launch as the final.
That is a good win!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Ok so just make it simple the BB final averaged 2.09 including plus 1.

Lets not round up and post **** loads of figures to make it look better.

Its the highest rated civilian BB in 3 years which is brilliant and all we wanted was the final to crack 2 million but don't forget BB12 final officially got 2.20 million.

What do you think the BB14 final will get officially going by the trend of this years ratings?

I still think if the final was last Friday we would have seen it reach a 2.5 average.

Bots would have also attracted well over 1 million if it were on at 10:30 pm.

Scheduling team ****ed up big time but im happy this year has had so many ratings hit above 2 million which is something we thought we would never see especially after the poor launch nights.

Not thrilled but pleased.

To be honest I didn't enjoy the final it was all to rushed but it was a brilliant series overall.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Cool under the dome did well.

Under The Dome sucked and totally destroyed what could have been an epic final.

Bad acting, bad special effects and I will not be tuning in again.

[neneu10]

Decent rating

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Just read last years final only got 1.5m overnight? :o

Its up by half a million viewers.

Ben Frow must be jizzing to be fair.

[Rob!]

Officals add recordings, right?

That part 2 figure should shoot up then in that case, surely?

[Jordan.]

21:00 Big Brother: Live Final: 2.1m (9.6%)
*peak audience: 2.56m (11.8%) at 21:55.
22:00 Under the Dome: 2.03m (11.9%)
22:55 Big Brother: Live Final: 1.74m (15.9%)
*peak audience: 1.92m (16.2%) at 23:05.
23:30 Big Brother's Bit on the Side: 651k (10.0%)

This is amazing, too bad they had to go ruin it by the hour break, if it was all in one show the average would be even higher than 2.1

[SSL2012]

This is amazing, too bad they had to go ruin it by the hour break, if it was all in one show the average would be even higher than 2.1

True, it would of probably been around 2.2, however five will be more pleased at the lead in it managed to give a new show.

All in all, Ben Frow will be celebrating today.

Just hope CBB delivers.

[Jake.]

Amazing finale figures, especially the shares!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Mad to think the final of BB14 got the same as last years CBB 10 final.

Cant wait to see the official probably will be around 2.4 million.

[RichardG]

It could have potentially just beat it if they didn't have the hour break and kept it all as one show. I imagine quite a few people would've tuned in during the last 30ish minutes to see the winner announced.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The fact that the audience grew to 2.5 then Channel 5 cut it off for an hour is such a kick in the testicles.

I honestly think the show would have kept growing till the winner was announced.

[DigitalSid]

Ben Frow mentions BB14's ratings in this press release about the channel's return to original drama:

Ben Frow, Director of Programmes Channel 5 said “Along with our new drama we’ve got other new commissions that I think keep the channel fresh and exciting. Big Brother this year has performed better than ever before and these new shows – and the many more we are also working on add texture and diversity to the schedule and will play nicely alongside the rest of the schedule”

[Brother Leon]

Credit to Ben Frow. Went out his way to take on fans feedback and Im pleased he's been rewarded with great viewing figures.

[neneu10]

anything about the officials ?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Cant wait for the officials especially next weeks to see what the final got.

[ahopkins]

Are BARB taking the day off for the bank holiday? Damn if they are :nono:

[ahopkins]

The officials should be released at 2PM not 3:17PM earliest. This is a disgrace.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

They have been released but DigitalSid put them in the CBB thread, probs just a mistake.

Good ratings but thought Hazel eviction would have been slightly higher.

Mon 5th - 1.79m (not inc+1*, assume 1.89m**)

Tue 6th - 1.99m

Wed 7th - 1.76m

Thu 8th - 1.92m (not inc+1*, assume 2.02m**)

Fri 9th - 2.03m

Sat 10th - 1.36m (not inc+1*, assume 1.45m**)

Sun 11th - 1.74m

So pissed off at all the missing plus 1 figures this year.

Current series average 1.8 million and with the last few days added and the two part final should officially reach Part 1: 2.4 million - Part 2: 2.0 million

It should bump that up quite a bit.

The 4 day dip after Hazel left wont do it any favours though.

Whats annoying is that it defo would have rated at 2 million if we had all those missing plus 1 figures to add to it which had many episodes well above the 2 million mark.

When the finals officials come out then BB14 will quite comfortably be above the BB12/BB13 1.6 million average Hoping a 1.9 and 300k increase overall.

Imaging the difference a bigger launch would have made.

Thank you Ben Frow!!

Sorry, I was responding to a request which was posted in the other thread.

[DigitalSid]

Should point out that the missing +1s mean they were outside C5+1's top 10, so below the lowest in the top 10 for this week which was 123k, hence my 100k assumption. Doesn't really matter if we know them for sure just yet, C5 do and one of the paid subscribers on DS will have them when we want to compare them next year, they are only likely to be out by 20k on the assumption, unlikely to have fallen below it, so make little difference to us at the moment.

[Jake.]

Hazel's eviction is the 3rd highest so far out of the evictions, so pretty good tbf.. all round, great ratings

[DigitalSid]

One typo, doesn't effect the assumed figure as I only made it on the without +1, without +1 Saturday got 1.35, penultimate week officials, with this amended, below:

Mon 5th - 1.79m (not inc+1*, assume 1.89m**)

Tue 6th - 1.99m

Wed 7th - 1.76m

Thu 8th - 1.92m (not inc+1*, assume 2.02m**)

Fri 9th - 2.03m

Sat 10th - 1.35m (not inc+1*, assume 1.45m**)

Sun 11th - 1.74m

* = Outside 5+1's top ten
** = Around 100k extra, no more than 123k, the rating lowest in 5+1's top 10

[ahopkins]

Oh. That's awkward. I thought the officials were only 1 week behind. The Hazel eviction was like 3 weeks ago at least.

[DigitalSid]

Final week officials, delayed yesterday by the bank holiday:

Mon 12 1.77m
Tue 13 1.57m (excl +1*, assume 1.67m*)
Wed 14 1.64m
Thu 15 1.87m (excl +1*, assume 1.97m*)
Fri 16 1.85m (excl +1*, assume 1.95m*)
Sat 17 1.37m (excl +1*, assume 1.47m*)
Sun 18 1.80m

* Outside 5+1's top 10
** Lowest in 5+1' top 10 was 123k, so rough estimate of 100k assumed

Doesn't include finale which we'll get next Monday.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Get the official finale rating tomorrow :)

YAY!!!

Its gonna put last years 1.7 million to shame.

[Samm]

Get the official finale rating tomorrow :)

YAY!!!

Its gonna put last years 1.7 million to shame.

Can not wait :dance:

[*mazedsalv**]

Get the official finale rating tomorrow :)

YAY!!!

Agree. BB13 final got 1.76m officially, BB14 final got 2.09m overnight, so I predict 2.40m official. Would be over 600k higher!

BB12- 2.20M
BB13- 1.76M
BB14- 2.30m-2.40m?

[Samm]

BB14- 2.30m-2.40m?

BB14 looks high How did BB12 get Good ratings

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Ok so according to Wiki

Final part 1: 2.20

Final part 2: 1.96

Up around 500k on last years final.

Im so pissed off that these do not include the +1 ratings yet again.

There seems to be a +1 thief working at BARB this year.

Thought it would have time shifted a bit more to be honest but it basically kept its audience through the whole series from start to end.

When you look at BB13 for example

BB13 launched with 2.93 million but lost around 1.3 million by the end with its final only getting 1.76 officially.

Series average: 1.81 million

[MeMyselfAndI]

Everyone stopped watching after Gina left :laugh3:

Agree, it's so annoying that the +1 was missing. I reckon the overall average of the series is actually rounded up to 1.9m. Around 1/3 of the official ratings don't include +1, so that could make the change. Will we ever find the lost ratings?

[Jake.]

Everyone stopped watching after Gina left :laugh3:

The second shows share was higher though, partly due to it being later in the evening, meaning more people who were watching TV were watching BB than the first part of the final

[MeMyselfAndI]

Less people watched it :xyxwave:

[*mazedsalv**]

Less people watched it :xyxwave:

The share that the 2nd show got (around 17%) was around the same sort of share that BB7-BB8 highlights used to get.

[Jake.]

Less people watched it :xyxwave:

Well obviously, but it isn't all about how many viewers, share is just as important at that time of night.
