[Greg!]

A hit yup

[Aaliyah]

A hit yup

Is 660k a hit tho? I don't understand enlighten me quick

[Cal.]

A hit yup

I’m so sorry you were threatened into this chick

[Denver]

Is 660k a hit tho? I don't understand enlighten me quick

For a 20 year old episode of a TV shows in a time slot that doesnt do very well against a show that got over 7m it can be considered a hit

[Morgan.]

It was also up at something ridiculously high like 360% up for the younger demographic which is huge for, as adam says, a repeat of a reality show from 20 years ago.

[Morgan.]

Like it could’ve been higher and it could’ve been better but they had quite big competition and it outperformed the channels other shows.

[Aaliyah]

I’m so sorry you were threatened into this chick

Do you have a problem?

[Greg!]

The show is currently number 1 most popular on All4! That’s got to be a good sign

[Morgan.]

And it’s trended worldwide both nights fff

[Morgan.]

Tonight it was the top 2 trends on twitter UK fff

[madman411]

BB being back on a Channel 4 network, if only for two weeks, has me smiling. And Davina as well!

[Cal.]

BB got 440k, LI Australia got 490K

[Smithy]

BB got 440k, LI Australia got 490K

:skull:

[Saph]

thats terrible for LI

[Samm]

and the girls seriously want this show back? it'll flop to oblivion again. give it another 5 - 10 years.

I appreciate the nostalgia clip show, but it's clearly lockdown filler to represent twenty years of BB and nothing more.

While I do believe it shouldn't come back yet you cant compare old episodes on a sister chanel to what it may get on the main channel

Discussions for this series started five months before lockdown started.

BB got 440k, LI Australia got 490K

Not great considering that the LI is a repeat and is from 2018 but I guess the demographic is very different.

Unfortunately Channel 5 have tainted BB for younger crowds, were as when I was at school in early 2000s, BB was the talk of the school, especially the Nadia season. Channel 5 made BB uncool.

I would suggest if C4 bring it back they need to completely strip it down with a civilian cast like the early seasons who are natural on camera and none scripted.

[Jake.]

BBBSE averaged 450k viewers last night, doublIng the E4 average and it also BEAT LoveIsland which had 390k

[Smithy]

Honestly I don’t really see how people can get excited about it beating a repeat of a foreign love island :skull:

[Pronshi]

BBBSE averaged 450k viewers last night, doublIng the E4 average and it also BEAT LoveIsland which had 390k

So Big Brother overtook Love Island AU amongst total viewers, but Love Island remained ahead amongst 16-34s.

[James]

Aren't these ratings 'overnight' figures and don't count time-shifted viewing, which can add quite a bit?

[Jarrod]

They are yeah, so the official figures will take into account catch up, mobile etc.

[Jarrod]

Honestly I don’t really see how people can get excited about it beating a repeat of a foreign love island :skull:

They're both repeats if you think about it - BB's repeats are doing pretty well considering they're on a digital channel.

[Morgan.]

Yeah, that series of Love Island has already aired here on a different channel last year I think, so BB is doing quite well.

[Greg!]

It’ll probably flop tonight bc the episode isn’t exactly a classic. Not sure what C4 was thinking when they chose this ep. Maybe it will be good though idk, never seen that series so I’m going into it with an open mind

[Epic.]

I think it was Davina and Rylan's choice tbh. Likely Davina based on the preview that was posted.

What episode are they showing?

[Firewire]

320k inc +1

[Greg!]

Lol... to be expected really though with that crap episode. Hopefully it will rebound tonight. It's doing well on All4 which I guess is a good sign? (It's number 1 atm)

[Firewire]

364k inc +1

[Greg!]

364k inc +1

At least it climbed lol

Is that good or bad compared to E4's average?

[Rob!]

Slot average for E4 is something like 264k which it’s beaten every day so far.

They’re not incredible ratings by any means but I doubt Channel 4 was expecting anything too extraordinary given that it’s essentially a set of quite awkwardly edited repeats from 20 years ago in some cases.

[Jodie.]

Episode one got 1m official, up 400k on the overnight
Same rating as BB19 finale wowza roo Xx

[Jarrod]

It was just shy of 1 Mil at 965,700

[Jodie.]

Omg @supertv247 why u do this Hon Xx

^that number doesn’t include people who watched on All4 btw, I’m guessing it’d actually be 1m with it? Yes girlz Xx

[*mazedsalv**]

1.09m incl +1 for the first episode. I believe it was the highest multichannel rating for the entire week!

[Jake.]

That’s really impressive. Pretty sure there wasn’t a single BB19 episode which reached that.

[rusticgal]

Which one is on Tonight?

[Jake.]

Which one is on Tonight?

BB3 - rich/poor divide

[rusticgal]

BB3 - rich/poor divide


Oh that was brilliant....I loved that task...and I loved that series.


Thanks Jake..

[madman411]

This thread has been quiet the last couple episodes.

[OLLIE97]

This thread has been quiet the last couple episodes.

Ratings haven't been released for the last few episodes.

[supertv247]

It was over 1 million! and with a 5.1% share it is now E4's most watched non-scripted show in 3 years :clap1:

[Jodie.]

Right I don’t know how anyone can deny that Channel 4 Aren’t atleast HEAVILY CONSIDERING a revival Xx

[Aaliyah]

Aren't these ratings 'overnight' figures and don't count time-shifted viewing, which can add quite a bit?
Overnights are the main factor in whether a show gets renewed or not for all channels other than BBC because advertising isn't the same on catchup

[Firewire]

Sunday - 287k
Monday - 361k

[Maxxie.]

Overnights are the main factor in whether a show gets renewed or not for all channels other than BBC because advertising isn't the same on catchup

That doesn't mean they aren't advertised at all though. Virtually half of love island's ratings come from catch up and I'm sure itv2 are just fine with that.

[Firewire]

Tuesday - 261k
Wednesday - 302k

[Firewire]

Civilian seems to be more watched than celeb

[Jake.]

The “who is she” episode was the highest rated E4 show of last week

[Braden]

Catching up with last night’s episode.

I’m only three minutes in and already howling at Derek carrying Vanessa to the diary room :joker:

[Firewire]

236k last night, lowest of the run

However ratings were low everywhere - BBC One only got 840k at 9pm (its lowest 9pm rating ever)

[armand.kay]

BB2 deserves x

[armand.kay]

I heard the eppie consisted of them planning and eating tea
