they should stop putting it on at the same time as britains got talent they would get more viewers.

BB will still make up over 15% of C4's income this year, even with a few dips in ratings on 'slow' nights.

It 'aint going anywhere

What's with the 'race' references? 'Races' imply different species. They all seem to be part of the human race to me.



Running BB8 at 9.00 pm rather than 10.00 pm is a ridiculous mistake.

The switch to 9pm didn't bode well on Monday night, as Big Brother was beaten by Britain's Got Talent on ITV1 and a repeat showing of New Tricks.

The Simon Cowell talent show averaged 6.9 million viewers.

The ITV1 show also beat a New Tricks repeat on BBC1, with 5.2 million viewers,

Big Brother could only manage 2.6 million viewers, an 11% share.

im surprised it didnt do worse lol.. it shouldve stuck to its 10pm slot if it wanted good ratings.

[bonnie43uk]

what are the usual 10pm ratings as a matter of interest?.. and how do they compare to the other network 10pm ratings?
( i prefer the 10pm slot personally) .. its a good nightcap

[Arneldo]

It was a stupid move, Britains Got Talent is a new show and people will be intrested to see what it is like, BB should stick to 10pm.

[bananarama]

Also at 9pm they have to limit the amount of bad language so we don't get real reality in a 9pm time slot........An adult format like BB should always have a 10pm or later slot so that reality can be shown in its proper context....

If so, then a few people on a forum watching BB will make no difference (unless they are one of the specially selected people!! Go on, own up!).

Nice idea though!

Yep. A BARB box. Which nobody here probably has. So this topic is made even more silly than it originally was.
