Yes and Australia's population is a third of ours, so that equates to 4.8 million and Channel 9 is the biggest commercial channel. However, I could never see ITV1 buying BB, even if it was still successful or had been rested for 4 years, as it would demand a huge commitment from them and could get in the way of events like the World Cup. Channel 5 is the logical home for the show now as it's FTA and low ratings by Big Four standards are high ratings to them and sits well among 1-2 million raters on the channel.

But hey-ho, let's compare apples and oranges anyway. That's always fun. |

I thought Channel Seven was Australia's biggest commercial channel?

Wryip said it himself, as he out of the blue positioned a target on my head and unleashed his rant, BB UK didn't take 4 years off as BB Australia did.

Weren't comparing an evening show (Celebrity Masterchef) to one in primetime (Big Brother) earlier, funny how you're happy to "compare apples and oranges" when it suits you.

What Australia Watched: Tuesday 14th August
Seven
18:00 News: 1.33m 18:30 Today Tonight: 1.18m 19:00 Home & Away: 1.02m 19:30 The Amazing Race Australia: 896k 20:30 Winners & Losers: 941k Nine 18:00 News: 1.18m 18:30 A Current Affair: 1.04m 19:00 Big Brother: 1.33m 20:00 The Big Bang Theory (R): 1.07m 20:30 New Series: Anger Management: 1.11m 21:00 Anger Management: 1.11m Ten 17:00 News: 687k 19:00 MasterChef All Stars: 788k 20:00 Everybody Dance Now: 324k ABC1 19:00 ABC News: 979k 19:30 7.30: 679k 20:00 Foreign Correspondent: 671k 20:30 Three Men Go to Venice: 620k Nine won the night comfortably with a 25.1% share. Seven was next in line with 21.1%. Ten could only muster 11%, beaten for the second consecutive evening by ABC1 on 12.7%. Big Brother logged another promising rating with nothing else coming close during its timeslot. And Anger Management premiered reasonably well. What was most impressive about the latter though was the retention for episode 2. |

No, I'm not kidding. Whilst the lead-in will be decent it's quite likely many CSI viewers turn over for the news at 10. I'd just rather it was launching at 9pm next week as opposed to 10pm this week. It could mean the difference between a 2m+ launch and not, IMO.
C5 appear to have pushed the boat out in an attempt to keep CSI's audience for Person of Interest. Firstly it aired with no preceding ad break so started at around 9:59PM, directly after CSI (except an ident), and it had an extended first part meaning the first break was around 10:20PM, with the rest airing at normal time, |

Also looking forward to Great British Bake Off ratings, without a shadow of a doubt the ratings story of last year. |

.....Secondly, even BB UK's most militant fans will have to admit 1.48 million for a final is awful and the whole series has been barely noticed by the general public. However, I suppose to someone like Channel 5 1 million plus every night for 10 weeks is good.
Does BB bring new viewers across the channel or do they just switch on and off for BB? The Marco Pierre White programme was a massive turkey that I think went from 1m to below 300k viewers. I doubt anyone will be asking for seconds. |

If C5 are paying £20m a series that's about £300k an hour for 1m viewers, that's a heck of lot money for so few viewers?

My guess is that Downton runs on Sundays as usual until 4th November, with IAC airing on three Sundays as usual (11th, 18th, 25th November). Mr Selfridge could then launch on 2nd December, using the last 2/3 weeks of X Factor as a launch pad, a few Corrie lead-ins over Christmas (23rd & 30th December) and then a DOI lead-in (and a CTM lead-in from the BBC) in January. Makes a decent bit of sense as there just aren't enough Sundays to air Mr Selfridge in full in the Autumn (remember it's 10 episodes long).

Incidentally, I can't remember who it was the other day who brought up that line when Bleakley left the Beeb that they'd offered her the chance to be "the face of the Olympics", but now they've been it proves whoever initially came up with it was talking rubbish because I can't see any role she could have had in the Games to be "the face of the Olympics". Who was "the face" in the end? Lineker? She wouldn't have done his job. Maybe she could have been in Mishal Husain's role, which is hardly prominent. Though presumably Chiles would have been involved if he was still there, he was in 2008.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Accused near to 6 million in the overnights. Twitter is going crazy about it, to the degree that 'iPlayer' is also trending too.

just because the role didn't exist in the coverage, didn't mean it would not have happened, and lets face it, if she had stayed she would have been involved in the Olympics alot more than the amount she was.
She also would not be a massive failure. |

On Big Brother, I think it can be forgiven due to The Olympics BUT were saying here that because people are missing the show they don't catch up with it - unlike the soaps obviously.
Well Weekends are dreadful ratings wise, and I think that those lost viewers affect the rest of the week, and the series overall. Instead I'd do this, and honestly think this could see 1.8-2.5 mill a night. Monday - 9-10:30: Big Brother Live - Sofa based show. Interviews, discussions and a recap of the weekend, post eviction Friday -> Sunday events in the house mixed in between. This is where the audience jump back on board. A host that people want to tune in for every Monday (look forward to throughout the week), and analysis of things. Discussions with housemates/producers/fake-psychologists - the lot! And jumping to live events like IAC do with the tasks in the last half hour. Tuesday - Thursday - 10:00 Big Brother - The usual recorded, voiced over stuff. Friday - 8:30-10 - BB Eviction - Sofa based look back at the week; some interviews. then in the last 15 minutes, the eviction and interview. Monday show gives the audience a jumping on point every week. Its long and everything is very well scheduled, think morning shows - tell the audience what/who is coming up and when. This isn't 'watch the entire 90 minutes' but it'll still rate well. This will help the rest of the week and the series overall. Then its just the rest as per usual. I'm not sure how the weekend shows can be defended; they do nothing but make the show inaccessible to the majority of the audience. |

I want to bite. But I can't really be bothered.
Okay, I'll bite a little. Nothing was "beat." As you said yourself, they are not comparable. Two different versions on two different channels broadcasting in two very different markets. If the UK version is so shit though I have to wonder why Nine copied some elements. Still, I wish them all the best with it. Got to be better than crappy Two and a Half Men repeats every night, the previous Nine schedule. Quote:

Channel 5 is the logical home for the show now as it's FTA and low ratings by Big Four standards are high ratings to them and sits well among 1-2 million raters on the channel.

Surprised that Seven are planning on dropping Rafters yet have renewed both Winners and Losers and the Amazing Race based on those figures. The glass ceiling for Home and Away seems to be 1.02m, same amount two nights in a row despite it being an 'event week' Quote:

I love the BBC but "The Flowerpot Gang"??? In peak-time??? Seriously? Sounds like a poor excuse for a programme - conflating "Ground Force" and "Anneka's Challenge". BBC One stuck in the 1990s...

Super rating for The Great British Bake Off! Person of Interest didn't start off too well, but I have to question why it was on at 22:00. You wouldn't get BBC or ITV putting a new series on at 22:00....
