Official Ratings
The game may be changing, but will that boost the Big Brother 2016 ratings? You’re in the right place to find out!
Below are the consolidated (a.k.a. ‘official’) viewing figures for the main show on Channel 5 in the UK. All numbers include data from Channel 5+1, except those marked with an asterisk*.
There are two tables, covering different periods: 7 Day ratings, which account for viewers who watched episodes up to one week after they were originally broadcast, and 28 Day ratings, which account for four weeks after original broadcast. Click the links to jump between tables.
Episode cells are colour-coded to indicate how the amount of viewers compares to the equivalent day from the previous regular series.
