Not to shabby.

@TVRatingsUK: Amongst 16-34 year old's Channel 5 was the most watched channel from 9 to 10pm, with Sky Sports 1 (Man C v Newcastle) in second place. #BBUK

BB was second in its timeslot. Some other 9pm ratings:

Death in Paradise (BBC1): 3.1m (14.1%)
Benefits Britain 1949 (C4): 1.73m (7.9%)
The People’s Medal (ITV): 1.6m (7.2%)
Horizon (BBC2): 1.5m (6.7%)

:dance: Brill ratings for the finale what are the official series ratings

Cool under the dome did well.

Great ratings!

Well the lead in certainly did well for under the dome - that's a great figure for it. Second part of the final though... Under 2 mill for a winners announcement is appalling. Good job it was only Sam :D

Appalling??

It was after 11pm, the audience share was almost 1/5th of the viewing public avaliable, and 4/5 times above the slot average for the channel. It done great. BB's skew a fair amount of young viewers. Alot would of gone to bed.

I was worried it would bomb at 11pm, but to peak at nearly 2million at that time is very impressive.

I meant more that it was put in a position that it was going to get under 2 mill. It did do well though - but if that's with plus one, it meant that live it was below 2 mill.

Hopefully the officials will make it look even more respectable. :)

Highest rated final, highest rated series. Ben Frow will be delighted, just needs to market the launch next summer, and it should beat the 2.7million it got for the first c5 series.

I'm genuinely shocked :joker: far better than I expected

SO HAPPY!
So in officials. Just as many people watched the launch as the final.
That is a good win!

Ok so just make it simple the BB final averaged 2.09 including plus 1.

Lets not round up and post **** loads of figures to make it look better.

Its the highest rated civilian BB in 3 years which is brilliant and all we wanted was the final to crack 2 million but don't forget BB12 final officially got 2.20 million.

What do you think the BB14 final will get officially going by the trend of this years ratings?

I still think if the final was last Friday we would have seen it reach a 2.5 average.

Bots would have also attracted well over 1 million if it were on at 10:30 pm.

Scheduling team ****ed up big time but im happy this year has had so many ratings hit above 2 million which is something we thought we would never see especially after the poor launch nights.

Not thrilled but pleased.

To be honest I didn't enjoy the final it was all to rushed but it was a brilliant series overall.

Under The Dome sucked and totally destroyed what could have been an epic final.

Bad acting, bad special effects and I will not be tuning in again.

Decent rating

Just read last years final only got 1.5m overnight? :o

Its up by half a million viewers.

Ben Frow must be jizzing to be fair.

Officals add recordings, right?

That part 2 figure should shoot up then in that case, surely?

This is amazing, too bad they had to go ruin it by the hour break, if it was all in one show the average would be even higher than 2.1

True, it would of probably been around 2.2, however five will be more pleased at the lead in it managed to give a new show.

All in all, Ben Frow will be celebrating today.

Just hope CBB delivers.

Amazing finale figures, especially the shares!

Mad to think the final of BB14 got the same as last years CBB 10 final.

Cant wait to see the official probably will be around 2.4 million.
