According to Ananova:

Big Brother improves on last series' TV ratings

Big Brother 3 is attracting bigger terrestrial TV ratings than the last series.

The average viewing figures for last week's Channel 4 shows was 4.3million, a 21 per cent share of the available audience.

This is compared to 3.8million and 9 per cent at the same point last year.

Big Brother's Little Brother averaged 650,000 viewers for its 7pm slot last week, an increase of 75 per cent on last year.

I just can't believe that this year's programme is proving more popular than last year's!

And judging by the recent postings on this forum, neither can most of you either!

Mind you, in spite of everything, I'm still watching BB3 - it just HAS to get better...........PLEEEASE!

I reckon they're fiddling the figures!

I think people are tuning in to see if it's really as crap as their mates have told them!

Are these the figures for the first week ?

When we were all so looking foward to a great show, if it keeps up like this I don't think the figures will stay this good.

I'm with you discolady. I keep watching to see if it improves.
Jonny has just said to Lee " this is like a dating agency". With people pairing off with each other I agree , It is like a dating agency.
Where has the group spirit of last year gone?
How the viewing figures can be better than last year is beyond me.
