It averaged 4.1 throughout the night and peaked at 5.1 according to overnight reports.

These are official so include Channell 4 +1

The show, in which Josie was crowned winner before she walked back into the house with previous Big Brother stars, scooped an average of 4.1 million (18.2%) viewers.

The audience peaked at 5.1 million just after 10pm, when previous housemates, who include "Nasty" Nick Bateman, Makosi Musambasi and sex-change Big Brother 5 winner Nadia Almada, started to go into the house, and again near the end of the show

So ..... less than 4.1 for the Final and Launch, but 5.1 for the Launch so that could mean 3.1 for the Final .....

The final episode of the regular Big Brother format fell short of former glories last night, with an average audience of 4m.

The marathon three-hour show started modestly, with 3.2m (14.4%) tuning in at 8pm, but it passed the 4m barrier at 9pm, according to overnight Barb figures supplied by Attentional.

It kept building its audience from there, with 4.3m (18.6%) watching the crowning – and subsequent re-entry – of the 11th and final series winner Josie Gibson.

It managed two five-minute peaks of 5.1m and the final hour, given over to the return of former housemates battling to become the Ultimate Big Brother contestant, built to a 15-minute peak of 4.6m (24.4%) in is closing stages just before 11pm.

A further 146,700 (0.8%) watched on C4+1.

It performed better than last year’s final, which mustered an overnight figure of 2.9m and a total consolidated audience of 3.4m viewers, and was roughly in line with the 2008 final’s audience of 4.2m.

But it was a far cry from 2006, when a total audience of 8.2m tuned in to see Anthony Hutton crowned the winner.

This year’s series consistently pulled in an average total audience of 2.7m (13.9%) for its peaktime editions, which the majority keeping well above 2m. This is just slightly up on last year’s average of 2.6m (12.9%).

Is it up on CBB7 though? that is the question.

That's pretty good, I've tried to get friends who used to watch it to watch Ultimate, we should all do it.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

No, they're not ..... the Final's ratings are roughly the same as 2008 ..... only when coverage switched to the "celebrity" launch did figures improve .....

BB10's final averaged 2.9 and peaked at 3.2 So how can you say going from that to almost 2 million more viewers isnt impressive?!

Well, if you're making comparisons :

But it was a far cry from 2006, when a total audience of 8.2m tuned in to see Anthony Hutton crowned the winner.

or :

BIG BROTHER 2004 FINAL

Friday 6th August 8.30pm: 6.0 million (28.2%). Peaked at 6.8 million (31.8%)
Friday 6th August 10pm: 8.3 million (41.2%). Peaked at 9.0 million (47.8%)

Of course, BB5, which Nadia won, was the second most watched series of Big Brother in the UK, averaging 5.1 million viewers.

This year’s series consistently pulled in an average total audience of 2.7m (13.9%) for its peaktime editions, which the majority keeping well above 2m. This is only slightly up on last year’s average of 2.6m (12.9%).


Had it not been for the Launch, the Final figures would been not much better than last year, after all last night's show started with only 3.2m .....
