Well it’s not going to go any higher than that so yeah.

I’m actually stunned.

I think if Endomol are going to try and revive the format they are actually going to have to agree to drop the civilian version.

I think last series put people off, it was a mess

Well in a way it's good they scrapped the Saturday shows

As in BB18

but like it’s not down to the civilan format there was so little promo

Oml. How did this happen??? I'm so upset.

How tf does Love Island get ~4m and Big Brother 900k...

And you have to remember some probably heard the news but didn’t realise it was tonight

I mean it was literally on the TV and radio news multiple times, in every major newspaper and trending on twitter all day. The whole country was talking about it and... none of them wanted to tune in.

Too little too late? They may have wanted to watch her but they’ve found out too late about it and had plans... It might fare well catchup wise

The struggle is real. But to be frank, I don't care for the ratings anymore, I'm just watching it for what it is and enjoy it.

I’m sure 18-24 year olds love BBC news!

And like the only promo you can see other than on social is on C5... no ones gonna see the promo on George lambs ancient train adventures

Ben Frow has done this on purpose, and purposely launched on the Friday so there was no show the next day and ensure that no one else will pick the show up due to low ratings. He has sabotaged us and trust me he WILL pay for what he has done

if the format goes over to netflix or amazon the viewing figures are irrelevant

Wow that sounds pretty dire, I really hope someone else picks the show up next year

She deserved way more! **** C5!

People often tune in to the launch to see who the housemates are.

Those brief clips shown earlier already convinced casual viewers not to bother.

Big fat WELP

250k? It will probably be taken off air in a few weeks if that’s all it can get this year !!

WELP

A scream

I dont think it matters at this point?

It matters more than ever.

It needs to rate a lot higher for other channels to pick it up and pay the hefty price tag for the show.

If its a flop who is going to want to fork out 40 million for it?

The fansites are saying C5 did this on purpose with the scheduling to kill it off/put other broadcasters off taking it :skull:

It's dead, time to just enjoy the last series and move on!
