Who watches BBC Three?

The BBC is spending £100 million a year on BBC Three, a part-time digital station.

This new digital channel is aimed 18-34 year olds. The channel promised to be different: "fresh, radical, imaginative and funny".

And you've guessed it. Johnny Vaughan was back for another of his series. And there was Dom Joly from Channel 4 and Lisa Faulkner from Brookside. Other highlights included Paul Calf, first seen on BBC one in 1990, ex-footballer Vinnie Jones and the chance to see the new series of 24 and repeats of EastEnders a BBC one soap which already has repeats shown there.

BBC Three attracts such a small audience that a third of its programmes are watched by fewer than 75,000 people. Some of the shows on BBC Three attract so few viewers that they are officially classified as not have been watched by anyone.

The channel's duds include a 7pm news programme, which has an audience of just 30,000; the medical documentary Trauma and which gets an average audience of 49,000, and Liquid Assets, a late night entertainment programme watched by 25,000 people.
