"Celebrity Big Brother&amp;#039;s first eviction show brought in a solid audience last night, early viewing figures indicate. Channel 5&amp;#039;s 90-minute broadcast of the reality show, culminating in Paula Hamilton&amp;#039;s departure, pulled in 2.1m (8.8%) from 9pm and 169,000 on +1, which matches the numbers for the opening eviction programme from last year.   5&amp;#039;s Big Brother pipped Channel 4&amp;#039;s One Born Every Minute, which held 2.07m (8.1%) in the 9pm hour as well as 303k on timeshift - rating as the broadcaster&amp;#039;s most-watched show of the night. However, the Richard Desmond network lost out to BBC Two, which also managed 2.1m (8.7%) for 8pm&amp;#039;s Stargazing Live. Some 1.63m (6.8%) stayed up past 9.30pm on Two for World&amp;#039;s Most Dangerous Roads. Midsomer Murders boosted ITV by rising nearly 600k week-on-week to 5.69m (23.4%) between 8pm and 10pm, denting David Attenborough&amp;#039;s Africa, which fell to a still slot-winning 5.75m (22.5%). ITV&amp;#039;s long-running detective drama, however, beat BBC One&amp;#039;s 8pm offering Food Inspectors, which served up 4.05m (16.9%). Overall, ITV1 took pole position in primetime with 23.7% (+1: 1.1%), beating BBC One&amp;#039;s 19.6%.
