Courtursty of IBB

That's pretty bad - I didn't tune into the highlights either, although that's because I was out. I'm still interested in what's going on. I think BB seems to have lost its 'spark' for many viewers now, and I'm not sure what it can do to attract them again. The strange mix of housemates has become 'normal' now, so the novelty has worn off. Hopefully things will improve! I expect some better twists and new ideas etc. might help.

The first saturdays

In BB5, 3.1m.
In BB6, 2.7m
In BB7, 2.9m.

There is a ratings thread
and thats really good for a Saturday, the peak is fantastic.
C4 will be happy

[marctierman]

its a saturday people are out and stuff
it'll be better in the week
and if people don't follow it religiously
then they tend to tune in later on in the series
when it gets really good

[Spike]

At the same time as BB
ITV were on an average of 4.0m and BBC1 just over 4.5million, so BB did do brilliant last night

[Fom]

I havent had chance too watch one highlights show up too now. Ive had to watch them all on youtube.
And I hardly go out :P So if Im going out somewhere then the rest of the country must haha.

[Polka.dot]

well also most people probably watched launch night so wouldn't have to watch the highlights

So because ITV and BBC got more Big Brother did 'brilliant'?

Either way you look at it , 2.4 aint that hot. Even past Saturdays last year got much higher ratings.

[xXEtchieXx]

2.4 aint that bad for the first Saturday. Things will pick up once the bickering and controversy kicks in.

[rhombus92]

peaked at 3.1, whch isnt terrible could have done better, but it was a saturday, so hardly shocking

[*mazedsalv**]

It was up aggainist a match and was on a Saturday. Tbh, I think that the 3.1 million peak was really good at the end.

[Tom]

It was only one of two channels that went up throughout the hour.

Its a Saturday- they always do worse.

A lot of people might not be aware the Saturday highlights are back.

Last night was quite warm so more than usual out.

[*mazedsalv**]

Also the figures are not including Channel4+1, doenst the channel normally get about 100,000-300,000 people watching.So the 2.4 million can got to a 2.6 million.

[brad4672]

thats sh*t

[I_got_a_jar_jars]

Aha thats terrible!

Not really the last Saturday show which was in BB7 got 2.65 million and that was the official rating. In the officials and the +1 figures included, it could beat the BB7 rating. The +1 figures could move yesterdays rating up to 2.6 million and then the official could move it up a bit more. Also yesterday it was up aggainist Casualty and the football.

No it shows not many people were watching TV on a whole last night so 2.4m on a night not many people aren't watching TV is great.
To be that close to BBC1 and ITV1 on a Saturday is a big achievement and the weeknight shows look like they will do really well.

[I_got_a_jar_jars]

Whatever way you try to defend it you cant say the ratings were good.

For Big Brother they were still pretty dismal.

Looks like the football is having an effect on the viewing figures.

I am sure C4 are very pleased with those ratings. 3.1m peak on a Saturday the worst day of the week and when not many people were watching TV is brilliant.

If its getting 3.1m peak on a warm Saturday night, it will break the 4m barrier maybe on Monday

Not really, if you look at all ratings from 2004 onwards on Saturdays most shows got 2.7-3.3 million.
