Good point.
Big Brother ratings in the golden years were nowhere near as big as shows like X Factor, and I'm A Celebrity were back then and even now, unless it was the launch or final of a series, which would get around 7-10m.
But Big Brother was an iconic part of noughties television. Everyone was talking about it. Back in 2004, I don't remember anyone talking about I'm A Celebrity - unless it was about Katie and Peter, but everyone or most were talking about BB5. And BB5 got under half the ratings IAC got.
