The series launched on Channel 4 on 30 May 2007 and ended on 31 August 2007, lasting 94 days - the longest British edition of ''Big Brother'' to date. Davina McCall returned as presenter for her eighth consecutive year. Eleven housemates entered on launch night, with an additional seven men being introduced by the time of the fourth week. The series was watched by an average of 3.9 million viewers, the lowest viewed series of the show at the time.
The first series of ''Big Brother'' to air since the highly controversial fifth celebrity series, ''Big Brother 8'' was the subject of viewer complaints and press attention, mainly regarding the ejection of a housemate for the use of a racial slur. Provided by Wikipedia
