3.3 is a good rating hopefully that's without plus 1.

No, it got 3.3 on overnights last year.

Decent.

Great rating, even if it does not include +1

Oh, so literally the same rating/share then

That's great consistency, and also way above anything Channel 5 has been getting recently

Ok that's with +1 apparently it got 3.09 with a peak of 3.69.

Its still a good rating and has retained the viewers which is good to see :)

1.1 million stayed for BOTS which is a fantastic rating.

A 15% share is brilliant and when you look at what shares Channel 5 have been getting since CBB ended in the summer Viacom are going to be very happy.

Wonder what live feed got?

1.1 Million stuck around for BOTS

Fantastic for such a late show

So, who's up for poppin' open the champers? http://i.imgur.com/w1yJuvBs.jpg

Great ratings TBF

3.27m/16.3% tuned into the launch of #CelebrityBigBrother, making C5 the second most watched channel between 9 and 11pm.

It's 16.3% now? Even better!

EEK I hope its not below 3 million without +1.

That share is fantastic and that's what Viacom will be more interested in I think.

A 1.3% higher share than last year, growth :clap1:

Good rating, I hope the series stays up on the high 2m or border line 3m

It's that the highest rating since the Viacom takeover?

Great ratings hope it continues for the whole of the series

Very decent ratings! It came 2nd in its slot only beaten by Silent Witness on BBC1. It apparently peaked in the middle of the show at 3.9m.

And for Dan, as you asked, nope, it didn't go below 3m without +1. It was 3.09m, and then with 178,000 on +1.

It's the only rating at the moment. Viacom didn't officially take over until last September

Thought I'd post this in case anyone else was confused with all the numbers.

Channel 5's latest series opened with an average audience of 3.09m (15.4%) at 9pm, with a further 178,000 (1.4%) tuning in on +1. Bit on the Side entertained 968k (11.0%) at 11pm.

3.09m (15.4%) on C5
+
178,000 (1.4%) on C5+1
=
3.26m (16.8%)

Bit On The Side got 968K (11.0%)

It is just shy of last Januarys launch of 3.18m (exc. +1) however is well up on the 2.24m from the previous summer launch (exc. +1)

At the same time

BBC One - Silent Witness - 6.42m (27.6%)
BBC Two - Supercars Vs. Used Cars - 1.82m (7.8%)
C4 - 24 Hours in A&E - 1.72m (7.4%)

Imo, a 15% share for CBB (exc. +1) is excellent, it has near doubled both Channel 4 and BBC Two, and I suspect BBC One took a small dent. An 11% share for BOTS is equally great at such a late time. I believe, as with the last january series, this is one of the series that will continue to grow in ratings as more and more drama or stories unfold!

I'm talking about all there shows included

Tonight's competition...

BBC1- Death In Paradise
BBC2- The Super Rich and Us
ITV- Bring Back Borstal
CH4- Britain's Fattest People

DiP was getting in the range of the 7m last series, so that is one to look out for, however I don't know if it would clash with the CBB audience. Bring Back Borstal is one I am worried about. It's a new (can we say "reality" show) where a group of 14 young guys, some who have criminal records go back to 1930s living. So it's kind of like that bootcamp show for trouble teens they had a few years back on ITV which was successful

[QUOTE=*mazedsalv**;7458482]Tonight's competition...

I have a feeling it'll suffer a little blip tonight, as per, repeat of the launch never rates highly, and DIP gets close to 6 or 7m +, BBC2's programming could fair well, as yesterdays Necker Island doc got a 12% share, which is good! ITV.. it's fair to say, is hardly competition nowadays, meanwhile C4's show could be good or bad.. it really depends on the night I find with their programming..

I predict it'll be at 2.4m but hits 3rd in it's slot, beating ITV and C4.

However, these programmes cater to very different audiences compared with CBB so let's hope the fact it's not a repeat of the previous night, put people off!

Hmmm I also wonder if it'll suffer from Saturday fever too with it being after the launch and having the whole "oh it's just a repeat of last night" bollocks that always gets associated with the show.

Fantastic launch rating though :clap1:

A good solid rating. I was kinda hoping for it to be higher. But still at least it's retaining it's audience. For C5 it's brilliant though.
