Does Channel 4 still repeat Bake Off at some point in the week? I'm wondering if that's the reason why it has added such a significant amount and leapfrogged Strictly. The BARB chart used to specify broadcast time of episodes, but since last week when it returned after that break it doesn't which is making me consider if they are added together now when they weren't before.

 

[FetchFugly]

24 Hours in Police Custody has turned into an absolute sleeper hit for Channel 4.

This week's was dark but really good.

Has Big Brother made the top 50 at all?

 

[lolly]

Has Big Brother made the top 50 at all?

Not top 50 no. I did see a figure somewhere - I'll try to dig it out later.

 

[lolly]

Has Big Brother made the top 50 at all?

The SuperTV twitter account posted that the launch attracted 1.4m, but I've not seen that verified anywhere else; Thinkbox reports 897k, but that excludes platform/device data. As it's so far below the top 50, it doesn't feature on the BARB chart which does include device data.

Digitalspy forums also report 1.4m, but cites SuperTV as the source. I'd personally be cautious about accepting that figure at this stage.

[lolly]

House Of Guinness got 2.324m for episode one for Netflix, but none of the other seven episodes charted, so I imagine it's unlikely the average would see it dislodge Only Connect in the 7 day figures at least.

[lolly]

That's the most recent data on the BARB website. Not sure why it's being updated much later than it used to be - those two charts were both updated at some point yesterday, amd the weekly one would normally have been Monday of last week.

 

[lolly]

The thinkbox website which still uses BARB data but excludes platform/device viewing is still updating regularly, and Big Brother had an average of 1.031m for the week Sept 29 - October 5. MAFS UK had 1.731m.

 

[Doris]

Does Channel 4 still repeat Bake Off at some point in the week? I'm wondering if that's the reason why it has added such a significant amount and leapfrogged Strictly.

Belated reply, but yes, they repeat it around 6pm on a Sunday evening. Which I imagine is a perfect slot for Bake Off, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets a decent enough audience, even for a repeat

There's something a little odd in this one regarding how Michael McIntyre's Big Show has dropped out entirely. Must be a mistake somewhere. Quite possibly by me when I posted it, but as the other website I've used for those missing data weeks doesn't archive their chart, I can't go back to check.

[Finn]

Pleasantly surprised to see Bake Off is still doing so well. This year I haven't seen or heard a THING about it - nobody I know talking about it, no marketing / press / social - yet it's basically doing Strictly numbers?!

 

[cwej]

The numbers for the Traitors are just insane.

Riot Women has done ok but not amazingly right? I think it will be brought back but it was such a good show it really should be seen by more.

 

[FetchFugly]

I'm only halfway through Riot Women but I do like it. That feels a decent start, I'm not surprised that it isn't right near the top of the chart.

Those seem very good numbers for Hamza's programme.

[lolly]

The 28 day consolidation chart for September 15 - 21 hasn't yet updated. I'll keep an eye out for it.

 

[Rita]

The Traitors really is the new BEHEMOTH and I absolutely love it, as it deserves every one of those 13 million and more. Ratings like that give me a bit of a fanny flutter I can’t lie.

 

[Rita]

Riot Women is next on my agenda to watch.

 

[Halli]

I might start Riot women too after initially not being fussed.

Crazy The Traitors is doing nearly double of Strictly!

 

[lolly]

Crazy The Traitors is doing nearly double of Strictly!

I wouldn't be surprised if after 28 days we see it hitting double SCD. I imagine the positive word of mouth will drive a fair few more viewers to it that SCD is unlikely to get to the same extent. The fact that the 7 day figures are showing an increase of nearly a million from the first to second week must indicate how people are picking it up after not initially being particularly interested.

I also can't remember the last time I've watched a show that so many people are talking about in the office. It's almost like the glory days of Big Brother.

 

[Rita]

I think I may get STRIPPED of my MOOPY REALITY WHORE CROWN as I missed a few episodes of Big Brother and never bothered to watch it again. I am around 10 days behind and can’t be bothered catching up now.

STRIKE ME DOWN FOR I HAVE SINNED.

 

[Rita]

I must also confess I haven’t probably enjoyed this season of The Traitors as much as I like the civilian series but I just love the concept and the casting on both celeb and civilian series.

 

[Rita]

I also haven’t watched any Strictly this year.

 

[Soldi]

I think I may get STRIPPED of my MOOPY REAITY WHORE CROWN as I missed a few episodes of Bg Brother and never bothered to watch it again. I am around 10 days behind and can’t be bothered catching up now.

STRIKE ME DOWN FOR I HAVE SINNED.

I wouldn’t bother, you’re not missing much.

 

[Rita]

I wouldn’t bother, you’re not missing much.

I don’t think I can be bothered to be honest darling.

 

[Halli]

just how low have Big Brothers ratings dropped to I wonder?

 

[lolly]

just how low have Big Brothers ratings dropped to I wonder?

Average of 0.913m for Oct 20 - 26. That's excluding platform/device data though; I'd estimate perhaps 1.2 - 1.3m when that was included.

 

[Rita]

Average of 0.913m for week ending

That is perfectly acceptable for an ITV2 show, no?
