Has anyone got any comparisons what the launch night ratings were for previous CBB series?
August 2011: 5.16m (22.3%) across a shorter 90 minute slot.

The only relevant figure I would suggest. I don't have a record of the older ones, and they aired on a more prominent channel anyway.

Awesome news. I love Frank Skinner, he'll be perfect for this.

BBC2 having a good start to the year. Notice they are getting in really early with a Sport Relief Great British Bake Off over four nights next week - why they couldn't hold that back until March I don't know.

C4 performing better with it's 8pm line up than most new shows it's tried there lately. I really don't get why 3.3m want to watch people giving birth (they don't even pop a baby out every minute!!!), whilst The Bank Job is holding it's audience nicely - but was an absolute car crash last night.

I see that it's Chico time at Injured on Ice, replacing Chesney Hawks.

Hilarious. A good job they didn't call it Celebrities on Ice in the end. They'd be sued for misrepresentation....
The ironic thing is Chico is probably the more famous of the two.

surprised to see The Chase neck and neck there. From what we were told it looked like Pointless had the 5pm hour sewn up but perhaps not? Both are about 0.5m-1m higher than you'd expect - must be quite a few people still off work, etc
Although 5.15pm is handy for people like myself who have a short commute to work I wonder if when CBBC on BBC1 goes they might be tempted to try and extend it to fill the 5pm hour.

Digital Spy doesn't get access to Sky Sports 1's overnights, only Sky Sports 2, hence why they never report it.
How strange. One stat I'd love to see is the number of subscribers to just SS1 and just SS2. It can't be many surely as content switches across the channels freely - so it would be rather frustrating subscribing to SS1 mainly for the Premier League to find the odd game on SS2. Similarly the Top Up TV SS1+2 deal isn't even worth it IMO with events which may start out on SS1 or SS2 shifting to SS3/4 as the schedule dictates.

Dramatic Emmerdale tonight, the 8pm episode should rate highly. I expect it won't be far off beating Coronation Street.

Some 4oD stats for November:

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s1...-november.html

1: Misfits 3.5m
2: Hollyoaks 3m (up from 2.5m in Oct)
3: Made in Chelsea 2.8m
4: Top Boy 2.4m
5: Fresh Meat 1.8m

On a per episode basis Hollyoaks would tumble down the list, but Misfits must be getting as many, if not more, views on line than it timeshifted. I guess the clashes with I'm a Celebrity helped it out on 4oD.

Top Boy and Fresh Meat are interesting - the later comparing with 1.06m views of Sirens in July.

Earthflight really is incredible. If it went out at 9pm on a Wednesday it would be doing Frozen Planet sized numbers.

Demographic Information for BBC1 and ITV1 covering the week of Boxing Day 2011 to New Year's Day 2012 (excludes soaps): http://i43.tinypic.com/f06fie.jpg
BBC One's new comedy block seems quite broadly spread - though I'm anticipating their audiences will be considerably older in the permanent Monday night slots. Young skew for Ab Fab too - 21% in the 16-34's, which is pretty remarkable for a comedy celebrating it's 20th birthday!

Expectedly high ABC1 skews for the BBC's dramas. And good younger demos for Sherlock too. Great Expectations' audience wasn't quite as old as I was expecting - though it did grow significantly older for the second and third episodes. Presumably younger viewers didn't have the patience!

Not much to note from a pretty bland week for ITV. Always strikes me how heavy the female skew is on the channel - even when you exclude the more obviously female fare (soaps, reality stuff. etc). I mean, there's nothing about The Cube or Ad of the Year that strikes me as particularly girly. But obviously so...

Chesney Lee Hawkes (born 22 September 1971), is an English pop singer, songwriter, and occasional actor. He is best known for his 1991 single "The One and Only", which topped the charts in the UK and reached the Top 10 in the U.S.
Always willing to help Charnham out - I think he is way before your time , he was mates with Roger Daltrey in Buddy's Song. He was more famous for his nasty facial moles than his music though. Chico really is barrel scraping though.

Just seen Michael Madsen enter CBB, now he is a real movie star, so many iconic films. Natalie Cassidy playing along nicely with the earpiece, testing her acting abilities to the limits. This could be the best CBB ever, depending on the rest of the celebs.

I hope ive not gone and forgotten something important to make room for that fact now.


finally a name I know. We should just limited reality TV, to former EastEnders actors, that way I will always know who they are.

Considering CBB rates higher than BB and rates higher than most other stuff on the channel, tonight might be Channel 5's highest ratings of the whole year.

I would say yes, but don't forget Man U and Man City are in the Europa League, so their matches could do quite well for the channel.

Especially if one or both get to the final. Of course, giving United's currrent form, by the time Europa League kicks off again, this might be the only trophy they still have a realistic chance of winning.

Charnham, do you know who Frankie Cocozza is?

3 months ago he would have had to apply for normal BB, but by appearing on ITV for about 6 weeks he's now eligible for CBB!

There is a lot more buzz this time round on twitter and on here in the BB forum.

Could it rate better than the summer launch? I wouldn't be suprised TBH

I know who this guy is, and I like him. He cant sing for toffee, but I like that he dared act like the wannabe rock star he was, during his time on X-Factor. Makes all those other X-Factor wannabes look totally devoid of personality, as most of them are.

That said he does look like the type of guy who you might see hanging around a door way, making a roll up, but somehow already smelling of fags.

He also looks a bit like Bridget Parker from Neighbours.

This kind of talentless nobody is ideal for BB, the fact he is a minor celeb, makes him ideal for CBB.

I think CBB could do well tonight. It's generating a lot of buzz and whilst the casting is a bit trashy I think they seem to have done a good job considering they're aiming for the 16-34s. Put it like this, I've heard of far more of the celebs on CBB than the celebs on Dancing on Ice, which has a dreadful line-up.

Eternal Law is getting a marmite reaction on Twitter, people seem to have liked it or hated it. I think it'll have started quite well from that remains to be seen. I suspect Public Enemies may well have been in third place at 9pm, as Eternal Law should have done 5-5.5m and CBB on 4-4.5m, putting BBC1's 3.5-4m in third.

I think the line-up is worse than last year. I don't like to think of Twitter as a guide to what is popular but it had 8 out of the 10 worldwide trending tweets. The housemates this year seem to be very tabloid current which should help generate coverage.

Thanks guys! I couldn't find them anywhere. If anyone can share the scores of Ep7-12 and the AI of Sherlock (when available) I would really appreciate that.
