Who else is getting that?

It's not allways 2M+ though is it as we've seen from the first set of officials when it should be for a January cbb. I do agree with you that it is their most constant and reliable show to hit that Mark but it's becoming very hard to even hit 2 million anymore.

The fact channel 5 pay so much for the show and are struggling to make a profit with it surely cost comes first?

The comments from people running the channel over th last 12 months or so have also been firm that they don't want bb to dominate the channel anymore and I get the impression they want rid of it.

Personally I would love it to go to itv2...far less pressure for ratings and a brand new start however given that channels audience is a lot younger we could be seeing bb going back to its cheesier days.

In a perfect world it would be put to rest for a few years and come back on channel 4 for its 20th anniversary as a one off to make it special and see how it goes from there.
