The crowd capacity used to be 1000

It certainly was in Bow. Watching BB1 and BB2 final quickly now, it must have been around that. With Elstree though, even in those big BB3-5 crowds, they were probably around 500, than on C5 they were like 200-300, now, not sure, it could be as little as 50-80 with this new smaller crowd.

It was 1000 in BB11 then they brought in this huge set from Channel 5 and just over halved it and now its smaller THOUGH there does seem to be buildings around the studio which could hold a crowd but to me they need to be outside that's classic BB and I don't think any other country does it which is weird seeing as we have the worst weather in the world lol.
