More stats for you.

It beat C4 9-10pm 2 to 1 and C4 10-11pm , 3 to 1. BOTS also beat C4 in it's slot 3 to 1.

ITV and the digital channels combined had a smaller 16-34 share.

The retention of viewers from BB to BOTS, despite it's midnight finish, was almost 35%.

[Loukas]

Woooo! Hopefully it will stay strong!

[Jordan.]

Channel 4 had 1.14 million viewers for*Millionaire Playboys*at 9pm, while numbers fell to 360k at 10pm for*The 15 Stone Babies

Flop!

[Jarrod]

I knew it still had it. Great ratings.

5 mins breakdown of the last 3 launches.... last night is in the first collumn. People thought that viewers will fall throughout, actually quite the opposite. In teh breakdown you can see when the ads were on (as there was a decrease), but excl the ads, in the second hour, CBB was constantly above 4m. When Speidi went in, there were over 4m still watching. BARB takes away the ad breaks and adds the recordings, so I reckon an official of 4m is possible!

So thats how averages are worked out lol i never even thought about it that way.

Really impressive figures.

I thought it would have dropped off after the first half but it kept over 4 million.

Do you have the figures for the other BB's?

Would be interesting to see how the summer series rated and CBB8 if possible.

The thing is with this series though is its got good ratings for Thursday but Fridays and Saturdays are BB's least watched episodes so i really hope people come back after the weekend.

The series ratings throughout? They are all on Wikipedia, but they are the officials. I don't know where to find the overnight. The first HL shows OFFICIALS of the last three series are these...

CBB8- 3.4m (quite a bit down from the 5.3m launch)
CBB9- 2.85m
CBB10- 2.10m
Those are the officials, I think overnights for CBB9 and CBB10 for the first HL show were 2.6m and 1.8m.

I agree with you about the weekend, tonight and tomorrow will be difficult, we will have a good indicator where the series will be starting from Sunday and Monday's ratings.

No i mean the actual breakdown of viewers like you posted for the last 3 series.

Would be interesting to see the full viewing figures throughout the summer launch nights.

Like how many people tuned in at any one time. I bet alot more dipped in than the 2.7 average.

Channel 5's press team are happy (not that there was any doubt they would be):

Channel 5 ‏@Channel5Press

Last night’s Celebrity Big Brother was watched by 3.5 million viewers and it was the most watched channel on TV for 16-34s for the slot #CBB

[JohnnyBB]

Celeb Big Brother continued last night with 1.81m at 9pm, Live from the House at 10pm averaged 1.71m Bit on the Side 0.51m.

[DigitalSid]

2.05m (8.9%), peak of 2.52m (11.2%) at 21.50.

Great considering EastEnders, EE viewers tuning in for the second half saved it.

[DigitalSid]

The first night retention rate is about 10% down on the recent average, which is great against a 7 million EastEnders. The question is, will the extra 10% lost come back? It's followed immediately afterwords by a weekend so with a lot of them likely to miss a further two episodes it will be harder to get them back than usual, let's hope it pisses down and all the casual viewers are struck by some super bug .

[*mazedsalv**]

2.05m is not too bad against EE. It showed EE badly dented it which is why it peaked at 2.52m at 9:50pm. It would have been around 2.5m I feel if EE wasn't on.

[JohnnyBB]

C4 last night was on its ass: Million Pound Drop 0.66m, 1.17m, 1.13m; Come Dine 1.11m; Made in Chelsea 0.80m; Chatty Man 1.17m; 8 Out of 10 Cats 1.66m.

[*mazedsalv**]

A massive 240k on +1 confirmed. It definitely shows that EE dented it. Imagine if there wasn't Live after the HLs, the figure could have been bigger!

Live from the house got 1.71m excluding +1.

[DigitalSid]

Bit on the Side 0.51m, not it's best C5 rating but it was on after LFTH and CWP.

[Raph]

That's fantastic news about the launch! I do think the hype was influenced quite a bit by the whole Lindsay Lohan thing though!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Big drop off but its Friday and it was up against EE so....

Sunday will be the real test to see if viewers come back.

This, had ee not been on, a good chance it would of got around the 2.5mil mark, ee is most popular soap with 16-34s aswell.

The drop off was about 10% of launch viewers more than normal which isn't the worst that could have happened given the circumstances, as you say, tonight will be the real tester, will the viewers lost last night who will be out tonight bother to catch up / try and carry on without what happened or are they gone? Mr Selfridge and Ripper Street, two highly anticipated dramas, one of them on their first episode are on the other sides and The Iron Lady, which only came out two years ago and won lots of awards is on Channel 4.

[Jake.]

A big drop, but that's EE for you.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Lastnight ratings were good considering Eastenders was on.
