Huge for the Palin doc.

Guess that pretty much gives C5 the "YAY" they wanted in cancelling BB. Not good, is it? It's the highest C5 rating of the year.

First time they’ve won the 9pm slot since...CBB8? Or was it the X Files?

But he’s so awful whyyyyy

The Palin doc was really interesting and they promoted it quite heavily so not surprised it did well, not the sort of program you'd expect from 5 at all

It is only a 2 part doc though so it alone doesn't prove that they don't need BB

This is the most depressing thread on the forum.

They've been trying to change the image of Channel 5 recently with programmes aimed at older viewers. The Palin documentary is part of that.

This is a great thread celebrating that BB is SMASHING the Circle out the park

tbh the North Korea was interesting, let alone the topic itself - but there aren't many other north koreas out there to produce more of that show. So C5 can go back to their dogs and cats fail compilation programs.

The Circle is becoming a disaster in the ratings. Just awful seeing these numbers.

Celeb Juice got 350k, an all time low. Doubt that dented bb at all

Tonight will be interesting. Could be better because it's not a school night, could be worse because people go out on Fridays :shrug:

So last night got 740k, highest since launch.

The dizzy heights of 800k are coming!

Sunday got 755k...

We're climbing!

I meant out of this series sis is it really that hard to comprehend
I meant that the quality of BB19 started out strong and then has started to go down as the week went on where as the circle started really weakly (probably why she’s flopping) and is really good now

Big Brother - 700k
The Circle - 550k

Quite good for BB to hold up the high end of what it’s got all week for such a late Friday show, surprised the circle managed to add 100k on a Friday night too

Urgh I can’t believe we’re getting excited about 700k :laugh:

Same lol

But when you say it in this kind of way " It finished at 11 35pm and was only 200k down on launch" it makes it sound OK.

But still 700k in the context of this series is Ok lol

Big struggle tomorrow as the first 15 mins clash with The Last 15 mins of Bodyguard which I predict will be around 10 million.

So erm... 550k?

Doesn’t it matter more how it’s performing in its target demographic than its total number of viewers? I’m not sure if UK ratings work differently but in the US, having a high rating in your key demographic is what makes advertisers pay up and keeps a show running. Overall numbers don’t matter as much.

The Circle is creeping up towards BB mind.

Still I didn't expect BB to get 700k thought it would drop to around 600k.

Yeah, the key demo of 16-34’s is still most important in the UK too. Endemol said that BB had the highest percentage of 16-34 viewers last week, more so than even Bake Off and X Factor.

15 minutes of a 90 minute show shouldn’t bring the average down that much, and I assume most - like me - will just rewind those 15 minutes anyway so they’ll still be counted as VOSDAL

Is it this Monday we'll get officials or the week after?

On Monday we’ll get officials for the CBB final, the BBUK launch and the first Sunday episode, then next Monday we’ll get the first full week. That will hopefully be when on demand viewers are counted, if not this week

I'm looking forward to tomorrow even though it's only 3 officials, but it will give an indication of the amount of viewers will be watching for the rest of the series, I'm going to say this:

CBB Final- 2.11m

BB launch- 1.33m
1st HL show- 1.21m

Is My5 added on yet though? I’d have thought we’d get higher officlals if that’s being put in too? I’d love to see it be beating BB18 officially because some of those officials were terrible :laugh:
