[Firewire]

[Calderyon]

Start of the End of Days for civilian BB? (ie: axing)

[Gypsy]

What was it originally?

[Firewire]

It was 10 weeks originally

[Firewire]

Big Blagger is normally reliable, too, so I believe this

[jackc1806]

Embarrassing ha

If they've contracted the show for 10 weeks, they aren't able to shorten it due to the broadcasting rights etc.

[jackc1806]

rumours suggested its cut to 32 days bc it says 32 episodes on tv guideline or something like that, it might be a mistake only

[jackc1806]

That's a message someone sent

[Moosething]

I doubt it would be 32 days

Are the producers stupid? It's going to be clashing directly with BGT and Corrie tonight during the 9pm hour which is going to bring it's average rating down anyway, they should've left the quad eviction until next week when there's less competition if they're desperately trying to get the ratings up.

This is what I've been saying. They've picked the worse time possible to do this, with it only being announced Wednesday at 11pm.

They should have definitely waited until next week, announced it Sunday and left a whole week for the news and hype to spread.

[jackc1806]

Omg welp it said 72 at start of the series

[MB.]

Probably just an error.

I hope so

That's my fault - I shared it onto Twitter, it's a mistake only by the looks of it.

[Vicky.]

Oh wow, is it really doing that badly? I would have thought anything over 1m viewers would be classed as a success for c5 really, unless its even under that :S

Same Vicky this is exactly what I've been thinking everyone's been calling it a 'ratings crisis' but over 1m or over a 5% share is probably good for C5. Maybe if it was C4 it would be a ratings crisis but even then Indian Summers has been renewed for another three series I heard and that got under 1m viewers

Indian Summers is the most expensive thing ever produced by C4.

C4's budget is bigger and supported by government funding

C5 is out of Viacoms back pocket only
