OK, how many people missed Big Brother last night?

[David H]

I've got cable so had the repeat this afternoon but I suppose as we're all on the internet we could have seen it on 5OD. But who missed it first time round like I did?

[cc1]

Never seen it, ever.

[Old_Geezer]

Oh I never miss it. Never seen it, never miss it.

[burbie]

i missed it because my tv guide said it was on at 10 pm, when it was really on at 9pm, so i guess thousands also missed it.
I did catch up at 5 od today

[David H]

burbie wins the prize, for the second time this series the guides were wrong and C5 switched it with Paul Merton at the last minute. I have no idea why they do this, Wednesday has always been 10pm and no reason to change it yesterday. Does anyone know when it was changed, eg what did yesterday's newspapers have, as my guide was bought on Sunday and wrong, so wonder if they went right to the wire and was still at 9 in yesterday's papers as well? The advertisers must have been fuming, I would have been.

[MarkRae]

I certainly did miss it! What sort of person would watch this drivel deliberately...?

[lcg]

has it been on? x

[tamborine]

S'pose I have to admit to watching Nicky Clarke at work, tho it was dire but an occupational hazard :(

Oops, wrong thread.

[tamborine]

You been over-celebrating Jan ? Happy birthday x

[Jan1957]

Me, no tambo, not my birthday. Mine's in August.

[tamborine]

Me then, the red bull has been spiked :)

[Jan1957]

Wish I had a drink. Had a crappy day so could do with some!

Sorry David, didn't answer your original question but I don't watch BB.

[David H]

Not to worry, I just wondered how many other people were p'd off after yet again having no clue the programme had been on until it had finished. If a train's late you have to wait but still get it. If a train's early they've failed in their duty. This is one of the most watched programmes on TV, don't they give a damn if most people miss a whole episode with absolutely no opportunities to find out?

[ABerrant]

"This is one of the most watched programmes on TV"

BARB viewing figures for the last week in October places BB as the 3rd highest rated programme on Channel 5 with an average of around 1.7m viewers.

1.7m is below the viewership for the top 30 programmes shown on each of BBC1, BBC2 and ITV1 and below that of the top 10 of Channel 4, so BB isn't even the 100th most watched programme on TV.

[Sir Alec]

I watched it and was very disappointed that Aaron or Louise didn't leave instead of Tom.

[David H]

I only heard a report in a paper at the start of the series, so apologise if it was a false alarm, but compared to satellite channels that often struggle to manage six figures, nearly 2 million people is a lot to pee off and if they do it often enough won't even bother to watch in future.

I was amazed Aaron didn't go after the reactions and his pathetic behaviour this week, but he makes good TV and deserves a crack at the final whereas Tom doesn't exactly set the house on fire. I don't think anyone did this year for the first time in memory, I also don't like the way they capped the age at 30 (besides Pamela Anderson), it made it pretty one dimensional.

[Sir Alec]

I agree. Older people should have been included as on previous years.

[bagpuss63]

Watched on catch up shocked Tom went-think Aaron will win,he obviously has people backing him up-last night was 1st time he looked worried-prob thinking boos meant no public votes-just his f+f. If you think back to Geordie Antony winning only 50,000, (Eugene took half) Aaron actually said 'it should still be 100.000' in the diary room-so did Antony-deja vu??

[bagpuss63]

Ok-seen posted Thursday, but anyway....done it now
