BARB have 5000, yes you heard that correctly, a mere 5000 boxes in supposed family homes in the UK. From this 5000 they claim to be able to extrapolate the viewing figures for the whole of the country.

So when BBC quote a viewing figure of 10 million for the Bake-Off program what that actually means is about 900 of those boxes were watching it, never mind the fact that no one I know in my social circle watched it, but according to BARB 1 in 6 people in the UK did.

You can guarantee those boxes are in the homes of major employees of BBC, ITV, C4 & C5.

Fuck TV, but above all fuck the BBC
