You'll have to go to BARB for that. Here's the link to it and go to Channel 5 http://www.barb.co.uk/index/index

Im not comparing Channel 5 viewers to how they were back in the day because i know that we are never going to see massive viewing figures anymore but the whole euro argument is just not valid imo.

What was last years excuse?

Ratings have been so low in the last week that im afraid the series average is gonna be down on last year which doesnt look good when it comes to renewing the classic BB next year.

The 1st 2 weeks officials were realy impressive with the show almost averaging 2 million but week 3's officials highlights are getting about 1.4/1.5 mostly. BB12's 3rd weeks episodes mostly got 1.6.

Plus last nights episode was sub 1 million without +1

Big Brother, airing earlier at 9pm, drew 975k (4.5%) for Channel 5 and 132k (0.7%) on +1

I dont know where you got 1.27 from when its 1.1 roughly and i also dont know where you got the 184K for +1 figure?

This isnt me being down on the ratings for the sake of it, im just stating the facts and not sugar coating things.

That's a very weak argument, I'm afraid to say. I would expect someone who's very vocal about the ratings to know that all television has gone down in years. Not 7 years ago EastEnders, for example, logged between 9 and 12 million viewers, a 45-55% share of the entire audience. Since about 2008 it's been down to about 7-9 million viewers, 30-40% of the entire audience.

True, you're posting facts but you can't just post raw data and get a meaningful conclusion - they're a lot more complicated than that...

And, yeah, Euro 2012 did affect everything on television. Are you telling me that a show on Channel 5 - or anywhere, in fact - could fare against 23 million viewers? Is that what you're saying?

G'wan with your ridiculous and ill thought-out logic that falls like a stack of cards whenever anyone who actually knows anything about ratings quotes you. I've said my peace.
