If it gets 3 million thats gonna be massive for Channel 5 at the moment ive been keeping an eye on their ratings and they really are terrible. Even Gotham has slipped below 1 million now aswell which is a shame as its an amazing series.

Look at last night!

Channel 5's The Railway gathered 640k (3.0%)

Britain's Bloodiest Dynasties with 564k (2.6%)

Seriously BOTS gets more than their current prime time shows.

In a way the poor performance of the channel at the moment can only be a good thing for us BB dorks. Lets hope they really pull out a great series the future of the show on Channel 5 really is down to how well this year performs.

Bbuk got 1.2-1.3m most nights these ratings are terrible

Although a launch in january, has never been below 3.5m even on c5.

Sensible for them to move it out of the way of Broadchurch. Wasn't that getting like 10m in the overnights?

I wonder if the other channels might actually be trying to go against it this year. Last January obliterated everything except BBC1 a lot of the time.

ITV looking at the schedules are making a bigger effort in 2015

As we get closer to launch I reckon it could be under 3m I've seen no trail or at all

They don't need promo there was hardly any last year and it still did well

What do people think the documentary/list show will get?
It's on at 10:35 so I'm not expecting great things. They've put it in on AFTER a documentary about White Dee ffs :facepalm:

Id say between 1.3 - 1.8m as there isnt much competition

Didn't realise it was on so late i reckon it will get 900k or something which is probs double what the channels currently getting in that slot.

Literally who gives a **** about White Dee? Its hardly a good lead in.

I can't help but feel that even 900k is generous but I guess we'll see. I dunno what else it would be up against if it had gone out at 9pm but I can't help but feel it would have got better ratings than white ****ing dee.

I think it will get a very strong launch rating! The advertisement on MTV, CC, etc, will defo boost the ratings because people who watch MTV will most likely like shows like CBB.

Agree MTV attracts a young female audience

definitely, its aimed at teenager's.

If the ratings do improve dramatically I can see the boss going back on everything he's said about Big Brother.

To be fair, winter CBB always launch strongly. CBB13 launched with around 3.4m overnight and 3.7m official. If it falls under 3m, for a winter CBB, that would be seen as poor. Hopefully with the promotion on the other channels, it won't fall under 3m.

Cbb is still strong civilian bb needs work Viacom will know that he seems more interested in spongebob lol

Do we know what the launch is up against yet?

I see the launch being 3.2/3.5m
Hopefully it can hold an average of more than 3 million!

I'll say 2.8m

No chance it won't be below 3m

Cbb had had great promotion so far only thing missing is adverts on a rival channel I'm saying 3.4m on overnights

3.6 official including +1, i only look at officials.

What did last years January cbb launch with any idea

Overnight
3.4million
(15.0%)

Offical
3.69
