I was just saying its hard to believe BB actually got 5 million only last year.

Unthinkable now.

You never know. The weather is a substantial factor in viewing figures. If it's raining, for example, people are far more likely to be indoors - hence the increased amount of people watching television at that time.

Although I agree with you in the sense that I didn't see the launch getting 5m either. But 1.7m is good enough (for now).

I don't think anyone genuinely saw last night getting 5 million.

Celebrity Big Brother averaged 1.71m (8.9%).

Highlights of night one at the Elstree compound peaked at 2.02m (12%) at 22:40.

From Digital Spy. Not great, but it was up against Peter Kay which got 4.34 million.
