Now the launch date has been revealed as well as the eye, and theme.
What do we think the launch will rate?

It's a single launch, this year. I believe.

If they use the two weeks wisely to promote really well, I'm going with 2.5m for the launch.

2.4 is my guess. I think it will average about the same as usual. Would be nice to see it hit 2.7 or higher though.

I think now that it is broadcasting in Ireland, it may increase viewing figures.

2.5m bring on the madness

Twitter is saying it got 1.8

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah it got 1.8 the lowest ever. I think this is down to launching earlier in the year and on a Tuesday. I think quite a lot will have forgotten about it. I think it's one of my favourite launches ever so I'm gutted the ratings were low
