How much the launch will do with the ITV1 simulcast? 2M, 3M, 4M?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I posted this on Twitter and most believe its going to be 3 million plus. I think the days of 5 million + launches may be gone but the fact its launching on ITV1 as well as multiple other channels this definitely has the potential to be huge. They really need to start getting AJ And Will doing some interviews now though and upping the promo because it's been a bit meh so far imo.

[Strictly Jake]

3.5 million I reckon

[daniel-lewis-1985]

3.5 million I reckon

I think that's extremely possible.

[Loukas]

I’m gonna guess 3.8m across all 3 channels.

[UserSince2005]

1.9m

[Sawyer]

I'm going with 3.5mil average with a 4mil peak across all sites, including streaming

[bots]

1.5

[MTVN]

What did the final C5 series get?

I'll be very pleasantly surprised if it's above 3m. Even 2m would be pretty decent

[BigAsher]

What did the final C5 series get?I believe it averaged 1.02m, with ITV estimating (for sponsorship reasons) the new series to average 1.05m viewers

[MTVN]

I believe it averaged 1.02m, with ITV estimating (for sponsorship reasons) the new series to average 1.05m viewers

Thanks, I had thought it was below 1m although it must have just creeped over then

Seem to remember the launch itself didn't do too well either

[James]

I don't know how TV ratings are doing these days.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I just want it to beat this years Love Island. I really think it's possible especially when some overnights weren't even cracking a million in the Summer.

[Iceman]

Gonna go with 2.1 million.

[jamiewordsley]

Unless I am wrong

The highest ever launch was Series 7 with 6.9 Million

Lowest ever Launch was Series 19 with 900,000


Im guessing it will be around 2.5 Million at its peak

[The Nation’s Sweetheart]

Well the population of the UK is 67, 798, 119 so I will guess 67, 798, 118

Only person not watching is Rylan x

[andybigbro]

I'm gonna say 1.5 mill but I think I am being optimistic haha

[_Tom_]

Maybe 2m at tops

[Ninastar]

Id say 12 maybe 13 people if we are lucky

[Josy]

I'll take a guess at a million

[MTVN]

Just being on ITV1 should give it a decent floor, it's a much better watched channel than C5 and even C4

I'd say 2m minimum

[_Seth]

The highest ever launch was Series 7 with 6.9 Million

Lowest ever Launch was Series 19 with 900,000

Thanks for specifying these to compare the ratings with.

I'll be curious to know what the ratings are if they've been revealed?

[joeysteele]

Just being on ITV1 should give it a decent floor, it's a much better watched channel than C5 and even C4

I'd say 2m minimum

I'd go with this or even a bit higher.
It certainly warranted a good start in my view.

[Iceman]

Impressed with that.

[MTVN]

That's decent though I did sorta hope for more with it on ITV1. Suspect it'll drop to under 1.5m tonight

[Will.]

2 Million on ITV

500K on ITV 2

Quite decent, although it was on ITV.

Probably will drop a bit now it’s on ITV 2.

[Will.]

“Big Brother launched last night for the first time ever on ITV with an incredible audience of 2.5 MILLION viewers! It’s the most watched episode of #BBUK since in over A DECADE.

It pulled in 2m on ITV1 and 500k on ITV2, with a huge overall share of 20%!”

[Glenn.]

What’s the average for Love Island?

[James]

This is the context.

1711307763614105825

1711307636627354037

[Vanessa]

That's pretty good.
I expect it to drop a bit when the show goes to itv2. But it will settle. Big Brother has a loyal audience.

[Vanessa]

That's decent though I did sorta hope for more with it on ITV1. Suspect it'll drop to under 1.5m tonight

That's still ok for itv2.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

What’s the average for Love Island?

Last years Love Island launched to 1.3 million but that show has such a massive number of people who catch up that i believe it went over 3 million?

I was expecting a bit more tbh but if it can retain a large chunk of these numbers that's still great for itv2. BB has never really had a massive catch up figure has it so i wonder this time round if it will?

Tomorrows episode should tell us how many people just casually tuned it to see what it was about and how many are here for the full series.

Agree about not having massive catch up figures. It's one of those shows you can miss a few episodes and dive back in.

[Will.]

I have a feeling it will drop considerably. The launch was enjoyable but missed some excitement, a very meh male cast I think.


I reckon 900-1.2M on ITV 2.

[Glenn.]

Agree about not having massive catch up figures. It's one of those shows you can miss a few episodes and dive back in.

Yeah it’s only the hardcore fans that will watch everyday

[Scarlett.]

2.5m on the overnights is a very respectable number, I imagine ITVX will bump it up significantly

[Scarlett.]

That's decent though I did sorta hope for more with it on ITV1. Suspect it'll drop to under 1.5m tonight

Corrie only gets 3/4m these days, so 2.5m on a Sunday night is quite impressive

[MTVN]

Oh that's interesting, thought it'd be more around the 6/7m mark

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Its up against MAFS Tonight, what does that show average in overnights? I know it's popular.

[Cal.]

I think it’s a great rating.

[TiBB Frontpage Article]

James has posted a new TiBB frontpage article.

https://pictures.thisisbigbrother.com/userpics/10433/normal_big_brother_logo_02.png

2.6 million viewers watched the launch show, which is the highest number of viewers for an opening show since 2012.

As well as being the most streamed show of the day across ITVX, The ITV1 show ranked number one in its timeslot for both total viewers and young adults (16-34) and.....

[JoshBB]

Impressive figures - particularly given the main demographic of BBUK is much more likely to stream nowadays. Me and my housemates watched it on ITVX as we don't have broadband TV in our flat anyway

[Dogeatdog]

Pretty good number really.

[Will.]

Anyone have last nights figure

[neneu10]

[MTVN]

Not bad at all tbf

[Loukas]

many people will catch up on ITVX too! It is pretty good i think

[Scarlett.]

1.4m is very good for a highlights ep, on ITV2 too

[Vanessa]

I enjoyed last night highlights show. All natural nothing forced.

[Iceman]

Can someone tell me when ITVX figures get added please? Is it like a week or so later?

[bots]

i only watch on itvx so there is 1 for starters :laugh:

[DigitalSid]

Double what most were predicting and way above ITV2's normal figures.

[Vanessa]

Yes, a lot of people only watch online.

[Liam-]

Love Island in the mud

[OLLIE97]

very impressive overnight for ITV2. With ITVX that'll most likely be over the 2m mark! ITV will be very happy.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Can someone tell me when ITVX figures get added please? Is it like a week or so later?

Should be next Monday but sometimes officials take 2 weeks.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

That 1.4 is higher than every episode of love island this year bar the final which 1.5 watched.

[Iceman]

Should be next Monday but sometimes officials take 2 weeks.

Thank you!

[Sawyer]

That 1.4 is higher than every episode of love island this year bar the final which 1.5 watched.

This blows my mind. Last night was strong, let's hope it continues to retain (and build!)

[Will.]

Decent figure but quite a big drop I suppose.

[Loukas]

This blows my mind. Last night was strong, let's hope it continues to retain (and build!)

I have faith that it will grow honestly! I can see it hitting no higher than 1.7m a night :fc: (not including catch up on ITVX)

It’s very difficult to compare this with the previous series viewing figures as there are so many other channels on telly ( 1000 ?)
and other outlets like Netflix, Amazon, Paramount + , Disney .. plus our viewing habits have changed .

I dont watch anything live now apart from football .

as they say, lies, damned lies, and statistics.

[Josiah.]

So as of right now, just counting ITV2 ratings for the first 2 episodes, we have an average of 962,000 viewers; which isn't bad considering that the first episode also aired on ITV1; and people 16-34 like to stream things.

[Will.]

1.1M million for last nights episode.

[OLLIE97]

Decent considering the clash with GBBO.

[Scarlett.]

The fact they're retaining over 1m in the overnights is a good sign, especially given its also marketed as an ITVX show

[Crimson Dynamo]

Im watching it all on itvx

[Scarlett.]

Im watching it all on itvx

Same, I usually finish work after 9, so I just stick it on "Watch from the start"

[Vanessa]

Yes and a lot of people watch on itvx.

[Josiah.]

I've been watching on ITVX as well. I watched the launch night stuff live, and the past 2 days I've had to watch on catch-up.

[Abra]

Decent figure but quite a big drop I suppose.

Big drop after launch night was always expected but these numbers are actually very strong

[Josiah.]

Though, just counting the ratings on ITV2, we've got an average of 1.01 million viewers, which isn't bad considering we've only had 3 episodes so far.

I do want to see how Late and Live (BBLL)'s ratings are holding up.

First two eps had 400k

[Loukas]

From @supertv247 on Twitter

RATINGS: #BBUK and #MAFSUK had a close head to head last night, BOTH pulling in over 1 million viewers but Big Brother took the lead with just a few thousand more ��️

[Will.]

Fell to 1 Million last night

[vesavius]

What's considered good for ITV2? I would imagine that 1 million is solid?

[Vanessa]

What's considered good for ITV2? I would imagine that 1 million is solid?
Yes, it's ok. A lot people also watch online. On itvx.

[chris.g]

I've watched every ep on ITVX so far, except the launch so I genuinely think the numbers are going to be a lot higher once those numbers are added

[Locke.]

It’s been quite tricky for me to watch. I watch all my TV through apps on my PS5, never had an issue before but the ITV app doesn’t exist on PlayStation for some reason and on the standard tv in my flat the channels are just the bbc channels and some local ones. Have had to rent a laptop from the library to be able to access itvx

Get on eBay or Facebook marketplace and get a nowtv or Roku stick to turn your tv into a smart tv.

Maybe time to upgrade the 1950s black and white box

[Locke.]

Think it’s itv that need to sort themselves out they’re missing out on dozens of viewers

[bots]

get an amazon firestick, plug it into your tv (if it has an hdmi slot) and off you go

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Last night fell to 875k

[Vanessa]

Last night fell to 875k

But this is excluding the people who watch online.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

But this is excluding the people who watch online.

Yeah obviously we won’t know what that figure is for another week and a bit but just posting it’s fallen in live viewers.

[Will.]

Dropping quite a bit, not great

[Luke_Patton_]

I'm not looking too deeply into the overnights, which aren't a good indication these days anyway.

Just from doing a little digging, I believe this summer's Love Island was lurking around the 1.0 million mark but officially averaged around 2.5-2.7 million, correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think Big Brother will add that much on, but I'm hoping for a 400-700K bump when Barb release the official ratings which includes catch-up, streaming and ITVX etc.

I'm hoping it can match the 1.6 million benchmark that Channel 5 set.

What do you all think the officials will be?

[vesavius]

I've watched every ep on ITVX so far, except the launch so I genuinely think the numbers are going to be a lot higher once those numbers are added

Same.

I don't watch actual TV at all anymore.

[Iceman]

Nice to see how when Love Island came back it was a sleeper hit. Took a while to peak so hopefully with BB it's the same.

[MTVN]

It's mental that LI was getting over 3m viewers at one point on ITV2

[Zizu]

It's mental that LI was getting over 3m viewers at one point on ITV2


Different pool of potential viewers maybe ?

Can’t see many Love Island fans bothering to tune into a bunch of foul mouthed, morbidly obese strangers bickering constantly

Only 800K for first eviction show

[MTVN]

Oh dear that's poor. I don't think they trailed the fact it was an eviction night enough tbh, no mention of it on the Thursday HLs and unless you watched the aftershow/checked the app you wouldn't know who was up until the eviction show itself

[Vanessa]

I'm not going to stress about the ratings. We have the show for two years.
They can always change things next year to improve it.

[Billy]

The ratings are for sure a disappointment- even taking into consideration the multi-channel launch and potential catch up viewers the show has lost 600k live viewers over the week.

It’s such a shame because it really is a fantastic series.

[Vanessa]

It's a mistake to have it on tv2. In my opinion it would do so much better on itv1.
Notice how it lost viewers since it switched channel.

[craigie2023]

I'm sorry to see the ratings dip to this, it's possibly one of the best series in years! I'm sorry to say this, but if ITV do not get a grip of this, then this will possibly be the last ever revival we will ever see of BB.

[DigitalSid]

It will be interesting to see how it does once ITVX is factored in but I've noticed they're pushing it less on there than they were.

[Scarlett.]

Low ratings on a Friday in an era where people prefer to watch TV in their own time isnt surprising

[Black Dagger]

If the consolidated ratings don’t add that much I’ll be concerned but if the series can average over 1m I think ITV will be happy.

[Sawyer]

When can we expect officials to come through?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Apparently last night got 820k again.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

On itv. The main channel always gets more viewers.

[Vanessa]

Apparently last night got 820k again.

I think it's alright. There are a lot watching the series online. So it probably adds up to around a million?

[MTVN]

Apparently last night got 820k again.

That's good for a Sunday night I think, competing with a big rugby match as well

[Luke_Patton_]

That's amazing news! Hopefully these 800K-1.0 million overnights will convert into 1.5 million officially.

At its peak, I think the highest C5 launch was BB13 with 3.02 million. So ITV should be happy with 3.6 million.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Official ratings for the launch are in. Including itvx launch was watched by 3.7 million viewers. That’s an increase of 1.2 million and the highest launch of civilian BB since BB11. The officials for the week will be released next Monday.

MAFS doing annoyingly well. When does that finish?

[Black Dagger]

It’s their longest run yet. 36 episodes and we are only on episode 16 I think so will probably finish after Big Brother.

[Stu]

Ratings remaining steady and even increasing slightly a week in once people know the format and what they are going for can only be a good thing. There could have been a massive amount of "To hell with this, there's no influencers and it's all gone woke" or "Now that I've seen it's still just Big Brother I'm off" type switch-offs but it doesn't really look like that's been the case. It's handy because they've really actually nailed the casting for the most part and I'd dearly like them to stick to these guns for future series.

[Black Dagger]

804k last night and it was up against MAFS and the football so good retention from the previous night tbf. It is really all about these consolidation figures

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The thing is unless it’s consolidating 2.6 million I don’t think we’re going to get any official figures. Love island rarely got released last series because it didn’t make the top ten shows, the ratings for their last series aren’t even available on their wiki page. Annoying because i really want to see how it’s rated and if it beat love island.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Ratings climbed quite a bit last night to 950k.

We should get figures through Thinkbox. Unlike BARB they don't give figures for different devices. Still, it should still give us something.

Good figure for last night given the RTV competition at 9.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Ratings! Last night's @bbuk had 942,000 (7,3%) at 9pm on ITV2.

[Josiah.]

Any idea on how last night's episode did?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

900k for the eviction. 80k up on last weeks.

That's really good. If you add the views online than it's even better.

Last night: 815k. Same as last Sunday.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Interesting to see Sundays have become the lowest viewed show where as back in the day it was always the highest.

These are fantastic for itv2.

Massive ratings with catch up and these don’t even include ratings deon other devices.

[Vanessa]

Wow that's really good for ITV2.
It would definitely get more viewers on the main channel. But I think they'll be happy with that.

Jeez, means it's adding almost 1 million in some cases.
For example Fraida's eviction was 800k in overnights but looks like 1.73m officially.

[Josiah.]

Yeah, this is fantastic. The fact that the show is getting more viewers in just the first week's official ratings than some episodes of last 2 series of the C5 era.

[Nicky91]

up against top shows like Bake Off and Married at First Sight


BB was always gonna lose the ratings war against those, but tbh remaining stable in the 800k is also something good i think

[MTVN]

Anyone know the ratings for last night?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Where are the officials and Friday/last nights ratings? ��

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Last nights episode was watched by 824,000 (5.9%) on ITV2. Highest rated Sunday episode since launch. Can’t find eviction or officials anywhere.

Surprised at the low Friday ratings though

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I follow supertv for most ratings but they do seem to inflate the overnights on occasion and then post exaggerated info when officials are announced. For instance Today they have stated all shows have doubled overnight figures and all added over a million without devices which simply isn’t true.



This is roughly what’s been added without devices according to another account (essentialbbuk) which seems more realistic

I think they're saying it's double overnights and over 2m when all devices are added to the officials but I haven't seen any figures for all devices anywhere?

I think they're saying it's double overnights and over 2m when all devices are added to the officials but I haven't seen any figures for all devices anywhere?

Sorry I posted the wrong image. Updated now.

This is what was said “Week 2 figures EXCLUDING devices are still over DOUBLE the overnight figures:”

There were reports of overnights of 950 and 900k for that week which would mean over double would take the officials up to 1.8/1.9 it’s just not true.

[MTVN]

Ah okay yeah they are twisting the truth a little bit there then

[bots]

around 1.5 million is very respectable for an itv 2 show in this era

[Josiah.]

The average viewership for the show right now is as follows:

Not great, hopefully tonight brings it back up

I think producers will feel vindicated that 6 weeks is long enough otherwise ratings would prob continue to fall for a bit. This way hopefully people stay interested as we go into the last two weeks or so

That’s the risk the BB producers are taking

If it’s just Trish and Noky up for eviction then tonight’s show will be the last one I watch .

I’ll at least get 6 hours a day of my life back though

It’s a double eviction so there’ll be at least 3 people up.

If Dylan is also up this could be a huge eviction this Friday plus it’s on itv1.

[MTVN]

In that case .. if Trish and Noky are evicted then Friday will be my last show then


At this stage I’m not even sure I trust the production team as regards the voting numbers ..

They seem daft and unpredictable enough to manipulate the result just to get good viewing figures for Friday night .. even if it means sacrificing a big character like Trish

Great rating for last night. I think regardless of who goes, the show's likely peaking either way this week with the current tension so may as well just enjoy it when it lasts. You'd struggle to think of a season that didn't slow to a halt in its closing weeks.

Considering how much TV viewing habits of changed, I'd consider this a ratings success. BB 10 was doing 2.5mil averages and that feels like several lifetimes ago.

It should be enough for them to go "Good, more of the same but bigger and better" next season instead of completely ditching the casting practices and going back to those awful C5 years.

From Twitter:

Big Brother climbed again last night to 942k viewers (7.2% share). �� Remember Tonight is broadcast on both ITV2 and ITV1 so ratings are going to be interesting. Tonight’s episode also looks set to be explosive so a great time to grab the casual viewer

[daniel-lewis-1985]

1.45 million people tuned into last nights double eviction

Err isn't that pretty weak over two channels

Although tbf even with it being ITV1 I'm not sure why you'd tune in if you hadn't been following the series

Zizu, please stop complaining in the ratings thread and do it somewhere else...

In the grand scheme of things, last night's eviction has given us the highest overnight ratings since Week 1.

We've got an overnight average of 912,000 viewers. To say that this second revival is dead on arrival is complete bs. BBAU's second revival between its latest 3 series has seen worse ratings than what we're seeing in 1 series.

Would have expected a bit higher considering it was on ITV and ITV2.

I think they should focus on perfecting the show and stop pushing for views.

The way the evictions are executed and the interviews are awful.

It seems quite strange to be airing it on 2 channels at same time.

Made a lot of sense for the launch as it was revived after 5 years and it once was a massive show.

[Will.]

I’m presuming ITV aren’t happy with the ratings hence why they’re pushing it on ITV1?

If you take into consideration what the show was getting in 2017/18 it’s done alright. Anything around 1 million overnight is decent for ITV2.

[Will.]

It got 769K on ITV1

And 681K on ITV2

Really low for ITV1, they should just leave it on ITV2. I’m sure ITV1 have something else to air at 9PM which would get far more views.

Would be shocked if they continue to air it on ITV1

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I don’t know why people would expect any higher tbh. Why would a casual viewer tune in to a series that only has 2 weeks left?

[Will.]

It’s true, why wouldn someone tune in now

Not sure what ITV are thinking, there coming across as desperate imo. No need to air it 2 channels at same time

It’s doing decent on ITV2, just let it be

[MTVN]

Maybe they just didn't really have any prime programming lined up, for the last few weeks they've had the rugby world cup to show on weekend evenings

So far, the series average based off of the overnights is 914,000 viewers. The average based on the officials is 1.8 million viewers.

Do we ever get streaming figures? Because of course those could be an absolute game changer for whether they'll renew it or not.

If we do get streaming numbers, do we know what the averages are, factoring in everything?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So far, the series average based off of the overnights is 914,000 viewers. The average based on the officials is 1.8 million viewers.

Last weeks 1 million and 1.45 million should bring this average up. I think the last 2 weeks are going to rate well too.

We have gone from 700k/800k overnights to it consistently being in the 900k+ overnights and the finale has every chance of rating between 1.5 and 1.9 million.

This is going to be the highest rated since BB11 by the looks of it and a massive increase of BB19’s 1.07 in officials.

I did hear ITV were hoping for a 1.03 in officials so they’re going to be more than happy with these and the online engagement has been massive.

It’s still a good rating. Who thought BB would be getting over a million in overnights again and we’ve had 3 in the last few weeks. The official average is going to be roughly 2 million compared to BB19’s 1.07.

It’s also beat MAFS twice this week and last night it was up against Gogglebox so I’m sure that damaged it.

The current official average is 1.81 but the last few weeks have seen a big increase in overnights with 3 episodes hitting over a million and most this week hitting almost a million. With devices added apparently that should increase by 200/400k.

I’m usually critical of ratings but this has been a successful series.

It’s a very average series really, nothing super memorable.

It's rated well. With device data it'll probably be the most watched series since BB11 (2010).

This weeks episodes have been boring tbh so whilst it was good we had a few episodes over 1 million I’m not surprised people turned off. Not a massive drop though and it’s rated consistently all series.

[MTVN]

Even those ratings beat a lot of the ones from 3/4 weeks ago. Yesterday's might have done better if they'd advertised the eviction a bit more than a 30 second mention at the very end of L&L

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Predictions for tonight’s finale? Personally I think 1.3.

[Will.]

Yeah I reckon 1.2/1.3

Sounds like it good be a predictable final

[MTVN]

I'll go optimistic with 1.6m

[Will.]

I can’t imagine them showing it on ITV1 again

I think it would be to be getting 2M overnight for that

For low 1 million on both channels not worth it

[thom_bombadil]

1.26m for the final.

[Will.]

Quite low

Expected a bit higher tbh

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I guessed 1.3 so basically spot on. It was up against children in need and the football. Overall the series has been a ratings success but saying that the finale deserved atleast 2 million.

[MTVN]

Not great but why would you watch it if you hadn't followed the series

What have the last few finals got on overnights?

BB19 1.01 officially it was under 1 million in overnights. BB18 1.11 officially.

I don’t know how much the officials will add to this finale but it does seem to have an audience of about 2 million however Ide assumed more people would have tuned in to see the winner crowned live.

It’s not a good rating let’s be honest.

[MTVN]

Okay cool so the official for this final should be at least 50% higher than those. That was also 5/6 years ago and TV viewership has gone down a lot even just since then. I read that ten years ago over 20 million were watching live TV between 9-10pm and now it's only half that

But yeah still a bit disappointing. What did the MAFS final get?

[Josiah.]

Overnight ratings average for BB20 was 939,000 viewers. Not bad considering how it fared against MAFS and Bake-Off (amongst other shows). And compared to BB19's overnight ratings, the ratings were significantly better.

MTVN, you aren't wrong there. I mean the BBUS25 final got like 3 million viewers, when the BBUS15 final from 10 years ago got like 6-7 million viewers.

[Will.]

Gogglebox does well on channel 4

Gets about 3.5M in officials per episode

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Any news on the officials?

[Josiah.]

I just checked Thinkbox. Still shows the officials that came out last week.
