And share of 10.8%, higher than last years

Did BBC2 beat it :umm2:

Not sure yet

Launch Night Pt. 1 - Ratings!
 

According to Tellymix, the first launch last night averaged 2.1 million viewers. This is identical to last years Secrets and Lies launch. It also because the second most watched channel in the 9pm slot, only being beaten by BBC One!

Good to know the ratings are still holding up fair..

In case you wondered, the Ryan Giggs documentary gained 1.7 million viewers on ITV and the comedy gala on C4 had 1.8 million viewers. Here's hoping tonight competition doesn't slow ratings down!?

Who's your fave too? :blush:

I knew they wouldn't be big and I cant see those ratings going up like last years for the second launch.

Terrible tbh

Really disappointed but I knew it would be around that mark.

I cannot see it holding onto the viewers tonight either like last years did seeing as last nights housemates were all so samey.

Its 2.03 without plus 1 remember last years was 1.99 without plus 1 so a slight increase lol.

Do we know what the peak was?

Hmm.

Theres a ratings thread btw. This should be merged.

Not for Ch5

Ratings are different nowadays compared to 10 years ago. 2 million is good.

That's pretty good really. If it's the same as last year that's not bad at all, at least things are consistent!

I'm worried with the housemates being similar last night we'll see a sharp drop in figures tonight.

Yes but 2 years ago it was launching with 2.7 and with the success of Januarys series everyone was expecting around 2.5.

I actually called 2 million after watching last nights show I don't think it grabbed people.

Could have been worse. Can't see the amazing retention rate happening again but pleased it hasn't gone down from last year.

2.7 after a finale of 3 million the night before.. it's matched last year/got a higher share which is at least double what 5 have been getting in the past four months, I'm happy

And to be only beaten by BBC1 is pretty good.

Exactly, the fact everything was low last night must say something

Im talking about BB13 which had no CBB on before it.

Sorry, thought you was referring to BB12

How did BOTS and the live feed do?

707K (5.7%) excluding +1 for BOTS.

Don't know about live feed.

BB13's launch was half a million up on this

So, sorry - is that launch figure with or without plus 1?

With.

Without it was 2.03.

Is bots down on last year?
