Not bad considering how down its been and was up against the England qualifier and New Tricks.

3rd in it's slot, beating BBC2 and C4 so it did alright :)

1.52 excl +1 last night (9.9 %). Good share. Hopefully tonight will be back up around the 1.8 mark.

With +1 (80k) it got 1.6.

Crap rating, good share.

http://www.theguardian.com/media/201...er-deal-closes Viacom take full control of c5

Think that belongs in a different thread lol.

I know just thought I'd post it in case anyone missed it

If that +1 was from TVRatingsUK, they are not reliable, that's what lots of members have said, they just randomly assume. I believed it during BB15 but then when we got real figures, they were never right.

Also assuming that the +1 for CBB has never been under 110k for a 10pm episode, I doubt its correct. If we compare, last time it aired at 10pm, its +1 got around 130k I think.

So it's most likely higher than 1.60m. Even if it was 1.60m, CBB came 2nd in its slot.

They are usually exactly the same as what DS provides when they provide +1 aswell mind.

DS didn't provide +1 today and doesn't that only usually happen when the +1 figure falls below 100k?

What that source does is wait for the DS roundup and put the +1 figures as it says on DS, but if DS don't provide the +1, they randomly guess and it is normally to a full figure, like 1.60m, or 1.40m. They are not reliable at all when DS doesn't incl the +1.

Also, normally yes, it's true DS didn't used to release ratings with less than 100k, but now they are not releasing them even if they are 150k, if its on at 10pm and the +1 is at 11pm, DS doesn't report them, even if it got 200k.

I found this out during the end of BB15, because DS never included +1 in its report, and a few times, TVRatingsUK would say it got 80k for example, but the officials would reveal it only added something like 50k. So it was never right, or TVRatingsUK would say it added only 50k but the officials show that +1 was like 190k.

As for tonight, not expecting a climb at all, it struggled last week with Our Zoo, and now it has that and the new series of Scott and Bailey which usually gets around 6m.

Last night reached its highest rating in a while. It got 1.93m incl +1. Didn't expect that at all!

:amazed: there's hope yet!

Well that near 2 mil will bump the officials up a small bit nicely! Woo!

Strong 9.6% share too!

Does anyone have all shares for each episode? Interested to find out the share statistics for this series compared with others,

Last night got 1.67 including +1 (7.1%)

:/

UK TV Ratings ‏@TVRatingsUK 27s
The final of #CelebrityBigBrother averaged 2.18m/11.7% from 9pm. #CBBBOTS drew 1.05m/9.6% from 10.45.

This is UP on CBB10 two summers ago and EXACTLY the same rating as last summer (CBB12) where Charlotte won which also got 2.18m! That consistency! :shocked: That is a fantastic BOTS rating and share.

Wow wasn't expecting that glad it beats piers:)

Yep it beat Piers on ITV which came last :joker: Hilarious because he is obsessed with ratings and always brags on Twitter, mate, you got beaten by everything :laugh:

I hope CH4, BBC2 came below 2.18m, that'd be fantastic.

:amazed: what a nice suprise, was dreading the rating lol

Came 3rd in its slot, even BBC1 winning the slot was only 500k higher. Bold are the shows on at 9pm in competition.

BBC1:
WILTY- 2.79M
Boomers- 2.65M
Big School- 2.34M

BBC2:
GBBO An Extra Slice- 2.50M

ITV:
Gino's Italian Escape- 2.52M
Piers Morgans Life Stories- 1.96M

CH4:
8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown- 2.04M
Alan Carr Chatty Man- 1.16M

CH5:
Celebrity Big Brother- 2.18M
Celebrity Bit on The Side- 1.05M

All include +1.

That's a brilliant rating for BOTS no doubt people tuned in like I did for the Edele/Stephanie extravaganza lol.

This was the best final in years, well deserved.

I got Viacom vibes last night with them fireworks also fantastic:)

Agreed with everything you said.

Very intrigued with what Viacom will do, I will be watching Ch5 carefully from now on to see if any changes have been made.

SUCH AN AMAZING RATING!

I am thrilled with the consistency of the show! And the proximity between the likes of BBC One makes me weak. Piers has had his day pretty much everywhere. It's amazing that before CBB or even BB.. Channel 5 would consistently fail against the Big 4, the fact that it continually beats and edges closer to beating them is an amazing feat, despite what others will say about how 'poor' the ratings possibly are.

It's clear that BB and CBB is still a winning format for a more low key channel and I hope those at Viacom take this into account, would love to see a cult resurrection of the show as all it really needs is a little more effort and care and the potential to gain audience attention is clearly still there, evident in the consistent ratings.

Nice share, Nice rating for BOTS too! It might rate one of the lowest, but in fareness this is perhaps one of the few summer series of CBB in a while that has continued to thrash the likes of BBC Two, Channel 4 and more recently ITV!

Hats off to the producer's, this series was good, although lengthy at times, it had some very strong moments that'll go down in BB history!

So happy for Gary's win too, so deserved!
