There was no promotion, loads of people saw the mostly reality TV cast and gave it a miss and loads of people were turned off by Bear's win.

lol i remember a few years ago when there were rumours of itv2 trying to snatch bbuk and i thought, no way, they'd ruin it !

Big Brother - 937k (6.7%)

For last night. Quite a rise there.

[Jake.]

The share is a healthy one

[*mazedsalv**]

I could have seen an almost 1m tonight if it was 10-11, but it's on until 11:35pm, quite late! So tonight I'll say the same as last Fridays 10pm got which was 848k even though there's more hype about tonights.

Wtf it's not on until half 11?

It's 10-11:35 like last week.

Will probably be the case if civilian BB is around next year :joker:

[supertv247]

If it was a normal 9-10:30 eviction tonight I also think it could've scraped 1 million - saying that it, did get 950k a few weeks ago when it was on at 10:30-11:30 so who knows!

[azi]

I think it will do good tonight.

[supertv247]

Last night was its highest in 3 weeks so it could have momentum

[Jodie.]

I think tonight will come close to 1m, there’s a hype around tonight’s evictions

Thought last night would've done better

Even love island only managed 1.6 compared to 2.4 a few days ago, Fridays don't really rate well all round (plus it was late)

Last night including +1...

Big Brother - 652k

:worry:

[Greg!]

mess! Is that the lowest this series?

[Jodie.]

That makes me sick

[supertv247]

mess! Is that the lowest this series?

Yeah the previous low was 709k two Fridays ago when it aired at 10:30pm...

[Jodie.]

At least there’s some sort of excuse as last night was a Saturday


omg i am so optimistic

[Underscore]

Bit sad

Time to get the govt to force Channel 4 to get it back

[pontyboi]

Time to cull it now. I'm sorry it's my favourite show but seeing it get these ratings is sad. Give it a rest or no other channel will ever touch it.

[supertv247]

Sunday night including +1
Big Brother 687k

:skull: below 700k two nights in a row is really not good. That's the 5th time it's ever done that, the second time this weekend....

Yea this doesn't seem good. Maybe it was just because it was the weekend. As for bit on the side i dont watch it as i personally cant stand rylan but i would imagine its ratings are low due to it being on so late?

Doctor who does well because it doesn't air every year and every few years it's producer and doctor and assistants changes

[*mazedsalv**]

There are no words with the weekend ratings. Diabolical is the only word that best sums it up. Not only has this series been awful but it seems 9pm is not the best time for it anymore. It does better at 10.

Being at 10 tonight will help it get to the standard 800s again (sounds so awful that we are talking about 800k as a hope!)

Also the show is on at 8 on Sunday... 8! Why is it maybe not at 8 on Monday as LI final starts at 9 and finishes at 10 30 so will clash! 450k vs 2.6m I reckon for next Monday!

Just awful!

I wonder if there is a slight possibility that from Tuesday onwards next week that there will be a tiny boost after LI finishes? I doubt it, this close to the end, but would be interested.

Love island will easily get 3 million!

Next week will be a mess. Starting at 8 on Sunday, then facing the love island final, then Wednesday and Thursday are on at 10:30pm. The only week it had a chance to improve ratings and C5 have screwed it over

Including +1
Big Brother 10:30pm - 924k (8.4%)

That's actually one of its best ratings in weeks, which is quite good for a 10:30 episode.. brilliant share. Makes me wonder if it just rates better when it's on later/makes no difference or if it would've gotten 1 million had it been on at normal time

[Rob!]

I'm confused about the shares this year. They've not been as bad as the ratings figures themselves.

[supertv247]

I'm confused about the shares this year. They've not been as bad as the ratings figures themselves.

That's because when it's on later, less people are watching TV. That's how Ch5 have justified its later time slot

Not 10:30 getting one of the better ratings. That 11pm start really is coming :skull:

I actually think it's because the person who was evicted wasn't leaked. I think they need to keep more stuff secret to get people to watch the show live.

[supertv247]

Including +1 for Thursday night
Big Brother - 858k

[supertv247]

I think the final week might see a rise in ratings now...
Love island ends Monday, then if the backdoor eviction isn't leaked first, it airs on Tuesday after Love Island ends and as we've seen before these episodes pick up viewers due to anticipation. Then it airs at 10:30 twice, and so far the best rating episodes of the last 5 weeks have been 10:30 ones

[supertv247]

Eviction night including +1 916k

If I'm not mistaken, that's the most watched eviction show since week one!

[Samm]

a screaming mess at 916k being one of the most watched evictions

Power of Chanelle.

Not at least for another year :fan:

Do we have a rating for last night? I don't expect it was far off that 203k :joker:

[*mazedsalv**]

Still nothing for any channel bar ITV/BBC last night in general. I reckon it was 650k or something.

But tonight and tomorrow... I don't even want to look! Tonight's #BBUK feed were filled with "why is BB not on?" at 9 and 10 tonight. I will say that at least half of the audience would have missed it.

Really wouldn't be surprised with under 500k.

And tomorrow.... **** me, it will be brutal... i'll say:

Big Brother- 540k
Love Island Final- 2.78m *peak of 3.2m at 10:10pm (when it will be clashing).

Then it will be interesting if there will be a small rise from Tues-Friday, I wouldn't count on it considering we have a 10pm start, two 10 30pm starts and a 9pm final.

If C5 don't care about scheduling, why should we?

I mean if they are having 10 30pm slots anyway this week, why couldn't they just have made a 10 30pm one tomorrow as LI finishes at 10:35pm.

[Underscore]

I give BB one more civilian series then it will be exclusively celebrity then that'll die out

[*mazedsalv**]

Yeah well the scheduling team are clueless...moving tonight's episode especially with a twist which could cause uproar for a Whitney and Bobby biopic is abysmal....plus isnt the Whitney thing a repeat?

Yep think it's a repeat, but it'll for sure outrate BB. So that's why they did it.

CBB will flop I feel too now. I think it all needs a 3 year rest.

Tonight....pray for it! It'll be very low.

[Greg!]

Channel 5 are thick. If theres any day that an 8pm start would make sense, it's today.

[Paula D]

Saturday's figure is not surprising, it was the night we saw Tom and Hannah being evicted by their fellow housemates, it was an interesting show?

Don't know why people are shocked at it.

I'm shocked at last night as it was one of the most boring but maybe people tuned in to see who was nominated?

Those that don't follow BB online?

[supertv247]

Channel 5 are thick. If theres any day that an 8pm start would make sense, it's today.

It's even on at 10:30pm on Wednesday & Thursday for no need, when today that would make perfect sense to avoid love island :shrug:

So it’s the series average so far still 1.29m?

2.8 vs 1.16. Hardly necessary to compare them anymore.

[*mazedsalv**]

1.04 for an official. :umm2:

In all fairness, that Sunday episode got 650k in overnights, so it added quite a bit on timeshift.

[*mazedsalv**]

Last night was obviously hit hard by LI final and Diana documentary. BB got 706k. But I do think it will be at 900k tonight and despite two 10 30pm slots, it's going to be pretty much smooth sailing now.

Meanwhile LI final- 2.60m.
Diana- 7.02m.

[*mazedsalv**]

TBH I think they're only doing these backdoor evictions because they do bring ratings to the regular highlights shows (Saturday for example)

This. Was quite stunned by the almost 900k figure for Saturday.

If we take that into consideration, surely it will surpass 900k tonight.

[Greg!]

Shook at the Diana rating.
BB didn't do as bad as I thought.

[*mazedsalv**]

Shook at the Diana rating.

About 120k higher than I expected for BB. I guess 700k people will watch it whatever happens.

With Diana, I expected mid 5s, not 7s!

[supertv247]

BB actually held up pretty well against Love islands 3 million overlap which shares a similar audience, and that massive show on ITV too. It got this same rating one Sunday a few weeks ago against nothing!

[*mazedsalv**]

Yep, it beat last Sunday's rating which was under 700k.

In theory, it should be between 850k-900k in the next 3 nights and just about pip 1m for the final.

The suspense for tonight's eviction should do well, after all it managed 900k on a Saturday just for the fake one. And as we've seen 10:30pm episodes also rate quite well so with another secret eviction happening Thursday, it could pip 1 million before the final which would be nice to see

Also I saw your tweet, you said last night was the 2nd lowest rating of the series but I know that last Sat and Sunday was in the 600s.

Love island is gonna top 3 million in officials for last night literally CBB ratings.

[Glenn-C]

Wonder if it'll pick up a bit now that Love Island is over

[lewis111]

If anything I think Love Island ending will bring the viewers down (for 10pm at least) as less people are making an effort to watch TV

Big Brother - 776k (7%)

[RileyH]

Wow. Even Sukhi's return couldn't lift ratings.

[supertv247]

To be fair nobody knew it was on at half 10.. Tonight should do better with the evictions. Does anyone know what Tuesday got yet?

Wow I hope the dirty dancing documentary that they put on at 9 flopped.

thats what happens when you bring back people that the public paid to evict

Sue and Chanelle were the only two that the public paid to evict though

(and anyway, you think that was the reason and not the fact that it was on at 10.30?)

[supertv247]

Just found Tuesdays rating, it was 743k. So last night was actually an improvement... I think Lewis was right, with no love island about there's 2 million potential viewers also not about

[Jodie.]

If it weren't a Friday I would think it could top 1 million but I'm actually worried it won't :skull:

I really don't think it will. It's not been over a million since about the second week. There's no reason why people who haven't watched all series would suddenly tune in to see who wins :(

I think there definitely could’ve pipped 1m, or atleast get 950k for the final..
There was a lot of buzz and it helped that the final was actaully really good and felt like an event for once

[supertv247]

Inc +1
Big Brother Final: 914k (5.5%)
* peak: 990k (5.5%) at 21:10

Big Brother Final ratings for the past 5 years..

2017 - 0.91 million
2016 - 1.50 million
2015 - 1.28 million
2014 - 1.63 million
2013 - 2.00 million

[lewis111]

Oh for **** sake

Really doesn't seem like there's any saving the show at all now

[Jamesy]

Well the finale was hardly going to exceed 1m given weeks of 600-800k overnights. People aren't going to randomly tune in for the very end of a show.

900k is a respectable amount for this series, can't say I expected more or less.

[The Grinch]

It's ok for what it got.

[Mrmattybeck]

Around half a million down on last summer

It's a shame, it deserved a lot more. Best final since BB7 for me.

[y.winter]

A disaster. Time to fire a bunch of people @ C5 HQ

[T*]

Actually disappointing for such a good finale but it was inevitable

[Captain.Remy]

I can't get over BB being under 1m.
It just does feel real to me.

[supertv247]

The person running bbuk on twitter told me they're getting a new digital executive and online team for a start..

[pontyboi]

It was an amazing finale imo though odd that Isabelle's fireworks were cut off after seconds and titles rolled. Still it deserved a lot more viewers.

[Jack_]

Hope CBB flops I cba with it even more this year

[lewis111]

Hope CBB flops I cba with it even more this year

It's gonna have to be an amazing series that gets lots of attention to get decent ratings
The cast is going to make anyone who usually doesn't watch want to IMO

[Jodie.]

If C5 gave the whole series decent promotion then the ratings would’ve been so much higher:shocked:

[Greg!]

The person running bbuk on twitter told me they're getting a new digital executive and online team for a start..

oh wow, are they bringing in any other new staff?

[Jack_]

I think it'll do well but that just annoys me cause it'll fuel C5's obsession with it even more and make it more likely they axe civilian whilst keeping this overexposed crap

[Greg!]

It's a shame really, this series deserved far higher ratings. Launching it on the same day as Love Island combined with the RTV heavy cast has caused this.

[Pete.]

Oh...wow

[Jack_]

I find it so weird how LI began and ended while most of the finalists were in the house, blissfully unaware of the phenomenon it became

I hope Raph wasn't thinking the ratings were gonna be good, he'll be so disappointed :(

[Vladimir]

It's not what she deserves.

[Jake.]

Shame considering it was the best final since BB10

[nonstop]

Poor BB

Not even 1 million for the final? :skull: Down nearly 600k from last year :skull:

[Time]

Was hoping for at least 1 mil :skull:

[Rob!]

Sigh. How depressing. Totally undeserved tbh

[Wizard.]

Wow embarrassing

[Lush]

Terrible and for such a good final too. :(

[Glenn-C]

This series really doesn't deserve these **** ratings :skull:

Penultimate week officials:
...overnights in brackets

Monday- 1.12m (793k)
Tuesday- 1.28m (894k)
Wednesday- 1.27m (924k)
Thursday- 1.23m (858k)
Friday- 1.24m (916k)
Saturday- 1.29m (892k)
Sunday- 1.08m (708k)

Wow at Saturday being the highest of the week! Sunday was up against LI final.

But generally it was up on the previous couple of weeks all in all.

[Littlegreen]

Saturday was the attic twist, I believe?

[Jodie.]

Saturday was the attic twist, I believe?

Yep, and so what’s the series average so far?

[*mazedsalv**]

Yep, and so what’s the series average so far?

I think around 1.20m is the average.

[Jodie.]

Worked out - series average atm is 1.24. Unless the backdoor evictions/final got people watching, which could bump it up to 1.25 (rounded 1.3), next week’s officials will confirm it as 1.2m

Edit: What I said above may happen. This week’s avergae got 1.21m compared to 1.16 for the last 2 weeks, so it’s a good sign that the last set of officials will be higher

[Jodie.]

That Saturday was the highest official since Fight Night :hee:

[LukeB]

it will be interesting to see what the final week got.. will they be released next monday as well?

[Jodie.]

I’d imagine it would be this Saturday coming:shrug:

It's allways a Monday that officials get released.

Monday was the love island final, Sunday was the 8pm episode. Good for the Saturday, it's up on the same Saturday last year! Overall still dismal ratings but at least they're consistent.

[pontyboi]

The show needs to move to mtv or itv2....they know how to produce reality shows and their main audience are reality tv fans. These figures on those channels would be hailed as a success.

[Oaker]

MESS @ how bad BB16's catchup numbers were :skull:

[Greg!]

BB18 deserved better! An amazing series :love:

[Jodie.]

Well it was a brilliant series and deserved BB14 ratings but atleast it didn’t officially average sub-1m


***** I’m so optimistic can I stop

[Jodie.]

SOOO BBUK’s future relies on CBB to do well/Make or Break to flop?

[T*]

Make or Break might not flop, unfortunately there is a hype around it from people who want to fill the gap from love island

[Littlegreen]

I still loved it in the end, so many brilliant housemates including one that became a favourite (to me).

[Jason.]

I know there's no point comparing them anymore, but Love Island averaged 2.52m and the final rated 3.06m

[Greg!]

SOOO BBUK’s future relies on CBB to do well/Make or Break to flop?

I think make or break will be a disaster. It looks awful. I can see it getting like 500k.

[supertv247]

I think make or break will be a disaster. It looks awful. I can see it getting like 500k.

I agree, I think it will launch with around the same as BB18 did (if CBB gets back to around 1.5 tonight) but it will dive so hard to about 0.5m

[Jodie.]

Yeah - imo the launch will rate fairly high (lowest: 900k / highest 1.2m for me) but the rest of the series will be lucky to hit 600k

BB17 had a really large time-shift audience, wow! BB14 did very well too.

[Glenn-C]

:skull:

[supertv247]

Yep, BB17 has had the best catch up viewing of any series to date. BB18 wasn't even that bad but the overnights were just too low to support it. BB16 & 17 got basically the same overnight but 17 obviously generated more interest
