BIG BROTHER LOSES OUT TO AUSCHWITZ DOCUMENTARY!

NO WAY!!!


Big Brother loses out to Auschwitz documentary
By Times Online and PA
Viewing figures for Celebrity Big Brother have slipped to 3.3 million, 600,000 fewer than watched last night's BBC Two documentary about Auschwitz.
The reality show is struggling to hold on to viewers after the eviction of John McCririck, whose sexist rants and temper tantrums fascinated as many viewers as they annoyed. The programme has shed nearly two million viewers since the launch show. In contrast, the heavyweight documentary Auschwitz: The Nazis and the Final Solution attracted 3.9 million viewers last night. The series uses newly unearthed documents and blueprints for the concentration camp to explain the decisions that led to the holocaust.
Written and produced by Laurence Rees, the documentary is timed to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the concentration camp's liberation.
