Big Brother was C5's highest rating show last night still, regardless of the rating it got. Channel 5 have only got themselves to blame for the rating with the terrible lack of promotion this series has been given. The show on the other hand however has a solid fanbase that watch continuously. They may not watch live, and with the officials we'll see averages of 1.6 as they take into account all of the repeats and live recordings. It's a shame that they don't take into account the Demand 5 viewership because Big Brother is Demand 5's best performing catch up.

The show itself brings in a lot of revenue for Channel 5 in product placements, adverts etc and therefore the show is profitable.

We need to consider also the share was 7.1% - That's a great share really for Channel 5, when the show before it only managed 4% share. The series has aired two episodes - how on earth can that be considered a flop is beyond me.

PREACH!

ok! Thanks for reply

Well, that's what having it on at 10PM will get you

(and how anyone expected more than 60k viewers on +1 at 11PM is beyond me).

100K down from BB14 really isn't the end of the world.

I agree, I dont really know if 10 pm works for BB even though theres no real competition. My parents tend to go to bed at around 10ish so they don't watch it.

Its exam season so most students will be going to bed at around 10ish as well, everyone in my year has had an exam everyday this week so they've had to go to bed early.

Im lucky as I do different sciences courses (and theres a lot of science exams for my year, I only do 1) and don't do languages (only English) so I've only had one exam this week which was yesterday and don't have one till Monday so I can watch it as I'm on study leave so don't have to get up really early in the morning to spend 90 mins on a coach journey (bit I've had chosen to do study leave at school, did Monday - Wednesday at school but taking Thursday and Friday off as I work well at home to).

So maybe in the exam season 9pm is better, is the time when my friends at school relax for a bit, even though it would have more competition it would probably attract more views.

CBB15 did really well at 9pm, and obvs it had a fantastic cast and drama so that helped a lot, but I think 9pm is far more suited for everyday people as it finishes at a good time, 10pm is annoying as it means you end up asleep around 11ish which is quite late for people having to get up for work/school.

Any idea on the Irish figures?

Nothing, I haven't had a reply from TV3 either.

ruiphillips 14-05-2015 05:07 PM

Yikes. That's a disaster.

You can hardly expect high ratings for the first highlights show when half the show was dedicated to what had already been shown the previous night.

The housemates go into the house so late at night, there isn't much new to show the next day.

*mazedsalv** 14-05-2015 07:00 PM

I'm so disappointed. I really am. At this point (and its early days), this series should NOT be going below BB15 because BB15 was just awful in general IMO and I'd be annoyed if BB16 is good, that it would rate below.

I'm hoping that it was just the "can't be bothered to watch repeats" crowd not tuning in. But it'd be terrible if it falls again and goes sub 1m. :(

To think that in January, a normal episode when Perez V Alex/Hopkins happened leading to Alexander leaving the house got 3.22m overnight and 3.8m official... it's just baffling.

I'd like to think that but I am pretty sure in a lot of cases, the first HL show is the highest rated of the whole series behind the launch and final,

Will. 15-05-2015 08:26 AM

Hoping it's done decent

daniel-lewis-1985 15-05-2015 08:31 AM

I honestly think under 1 million.

The 1st highlight shows is usually one of the best then it settles down on the 3nd it will be over 1 million with +1 without a doubt though.

Yeah, least we're prepared for the worst! It was really good highlight show, never have thought it was only day 2.

Will. 15-05-2015 09:24 AM

Big Brother continued with 1.14m (7.2%) at 10pm (61k/0.7%). Big Brother's Bit on the Side entertained 405k (4.5%) at 11pm (28k/0.7%).

so 1.21 in total, not good but least it above a million.

Time bomb first Thursday gets 1.21 m (8.1%)
Power Trips first Thursday got 1.03m- (5.5%)
Secret and Lies first Thursday got 1.35 million (7.8%)


The share is quite good, I think the figures are low due to exam season but the actual share is very good, odd.

Jamesy 15-05-2015 09:28 AM

Ouch, not quite under 1 million but near enough.

Shame as it was quite a good highlights.

Maybe BB15 had a big negative impact against civilian Big Brother afterall.

Will be interesting to see what kind of jump the official figures get.

RichardG 15-05-2015 09:29 AM

Not great but if it's above BB15 then I'm happy!!

It was actually 1.20m not 1.21m, not like it makes much of a difference :p because it would be 1.21m if the +1 figure was 70k.

Anyway, it is poor, but as you said, the share is higher, so maybe it could be because of less people watching maybe because of exam season?

thats what I'm thinking, I agree

Share is decent

daniel-lewis-1985 15-05-2015 10:17 AM

Crap rating but good share.

Jamesy 15-05-2015 10:20 AM

I almost forgot it's on earlier this year so exams could be to blame for lesser viewers since the series usually starts in June.

I've also seen a lot of people complaining on social media about the show being on too late so they don't watch it on the night. Wouldn't surprise me if that affects figures in a smaller way too. Don't know why they don't air it at 9pm like CBB, hardly like Channel 5 has a whole range of nightly shows at 9pm that out perform Big Brother...
