It gets worser for bots 392k

It is worrying, I bet we can expect this throughout this series as well because of world cup.

My Sisters Keeper had 595k/2.9% at the same time on 4

Elsewhere, BBC Two aired repeats of Yes, Prime Minister (740k/3.5%), I Love 1980 (1.08m/4.9%), French and Saunders (1.01m/5%) and Victoria Wood as Seen on TV (921k/5.3%).

So pretty low for everything else concerned

Never actually seen that film.

Poor housemates, poor ratings

The football was cancelled last night though wasn't it?? :umm2:

A lot of people would have still watched for the chat. And you'd get the houses who usually watch BB but were dictated to by football fans in the house on what they were watching that night.

Christ..

God I hope it does well tonight. Beat channel 4 though. So was everything affected?

It wasn't cancelled, there was just a 30 minute break mid-way through the first half because of a lightning storm.

But yes, this is what happens when you take on football. It's on at the same time as Soccer Aid tonight as well

The ratings wont be good tonight then,

Its amazing how like 13 Million watch BGT and then under a million watch BB. Like BGT is hardly better at all, its worse in my opinion. BB is more interesting and I think a better concept of a show. What a shame :/ tonight's should be better as BGT has finished. Because the final lasted for 2:30 hours, so maybe people got sick of watching TV last night.

Historically Saturdays do badly for BB, some Saturdays were under 3million in BB7 which averaged 4.7m

BB is watched by a mainly young audience compared to BGT which appeals to everyone, much in the same way opportunity knocks did. Variety shows entice everyone.

It was against the football i'm not surprised, every other Channel had bad ratings so i'm not surprised the officials will be way higher for yesterdays show. It's against Soccer aid tonight so :laugh:

Well no because this years House mates have been great

and it only got bad ratings because of the Football clash

Shockingly bad...reckon it will be the norm that it doesnt get past 1mil this year

BB is a niche, only a few million would want to watch highlights of strangers everyday of the week. Where as BGT is an talent competition. People who tune into to BGT know their in for some good viewing, were as with BB you would have to wait a couple of days for something good to happen.

BGT appeals to a wider range of people. On Channel 4 BB appealed to most people I think, but suddenly now it's moved people have a perception of the show. My mum won't watch it now it's on Channel 5, I persuaded her to watch both launches and she said it was hardly Big Brother.

It was against football

You should put that in your sig because people aren't getting the message at all. :(

Very good. Is there a point?

Yes, a lot of households would have watched the footy rather than BB because of the fans in the house. If you have a husband and wife and the husband always lets the wife watch BB but one night the football is on, generally the husband gets to watch the football because the wife always watches BB. Just an example.

It will never go under 1 Million, the audience for Big brother is much higher

It just did go under 1 million :joker: It will be against football dozens of times throughout the summer too
