Head of 'Five': "We are interested in CBB" 29 Jan, 2010 - 11:41 PM by Tom May not be the end after all! http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-rad...r-channel-four Five would be the perfect home. It couldn't work in the mainstream of ITV, and it couldn't work in the obscurity of Sky. All the Live From Studio Five coverage makes sense. But they're not interested in the main series, he thinks that has to go away for a while. But if they ran a 3 week CBB for a few years and then brought BB back in about 2015, it could work. 54 Comments | 1339 Viewed Comment posted by: Smithy Hope to God its true Published on: 29 Jan, 2010 - 11:42 PM Comment posted by: Hope Springs Hope so!

Published on: 29 Jan, 2010 - 11:44 PM Comment posted by: Sir_Diary_of_Roomus Always thought CBB had a good chance of survival over the normal BB. It's shorter length i'm sure makes it a lot more appealing. Really hope Five pick it up.

But I would still prefer it if they opted for the main series instead. Great news anyway. It will be nice to see Big Brother away from the claws of Channel 4. Published on: 29 Jan, 2010 - 11:47 PM Comment posted by: Spike I wouldn't be surprised if Five do pick CBB up, they have always been the most likely broadcaster to pick it up, especially with Richard as controller. I would prefer the summer series to be saved over the celebrity version but i'm sure if Five do pick CBB up then the summer series would return after a few years rest Published on: 29 Jan, 2010 - 11:50 PM Comment posted by: Tom Quote: Originally Posted by Sir_Diary_of_Roomus Always thought CBB had a good chance of survival over the normal BB.

CBB is more attractive to broadcasters because if it all goes wrong on launch night then in theory they can put it right by signing up a big name and get it allover the papers then it should fix itself. But if BB goes wrong on launch night (and it did in BB8 and 10) then thats it, theres no saving it and it will be 3 months of bad ratings and a wasted investment.

The summer ones drag on forever and it can get boring quickly! Published on: 30 Jan, 2010 - 12:09 AM Comment posted by: arista Richard Woolfe, controller of Channel Five Well Done Ch5.

Right, i am literally a hugantic fan of Big brother watched it from the very beginning religously but no way should they carry it onto another channel. I want it to go out on a high.. not be killed off on another programme! No way. Published on: 30 Jan, 2010 - 12:17 AM Comment posted by: Arneldo *ahem*...NOOOOOO!!!!!! (a) I can't get Five in Ireland and (b) C4 is it's HOME! Published on: 30 Jan, 2010 - 12:19 AM Comment posted by: Patrick Wouldnt mind it. It just occured to me, if a channel did take just Celebrity Big Brother and if it did well then they might take the summer series on to after they do their first Celebrity Series. But I really honestly think now if it rested for 3 Years or so, we would be out shopping one day and see in the newspapers.. 'BBig Return' or 'BB Is Coming to get you' which would mean its been brought by another channel. It would be amazing.

Published on: 30 Jan, 2010 - 12:23 AM Comment posted by: MusicMan Qué será será at the end of the day I hope it does continue coz I love it but I also hope that the new channel doesn't mess around with the format too much, just freshen it up a bit. That being said, I guess I'd rather it go out on a high that it completely fail and shrivel away with no dignity intact on another channel. Like I say, qué será será. We'll see.

I'd rather one than neither, plus the chances of the summer series returning in a few years are better if the celebrity one continues than if it doesn't.

I'll sit and wait, i'm not convinced. Published on: 30 Jan, 2010 - 7:51 AM Comment posted by: Captain.Remy As long as I can download it, I don't mind where it goes. Seriously, I knew CBB would survive and not the regular series. I don't feel like I'm interested more in the regular one than the CBB one. I think it's more exciting to watch celebrities than unknowns. Anyway, even if it lasts 3 weeks in a year, I will be happy with it.

But i would like B11 to do good also, because i want the normal series to come back (just because me and my friends were planning on auditioning for BB12, guess we cant now) Published on: 30 Jan, 2010 - 10:17 AM Comment posted by: Captain.Remy Quote: Originally Posted by *mazedsalv** Thats great!!

Maybe the CBB one will but not at this time of the year, I can see it in autumn. Published on: 30 Jan, 2010 - 10:27 AM Comment posted by: BB_Eye Quote: Originally Posted by teabag. NO NO NO NO NO!

Taking away the 24 hour live feed, censoring online/youtube clips, kowtowing to Ofcom, incompetent production team, manipulating the show/voters and cover ups (Shilpagate). It's a miracle CBB7 turned out to be as good as it did. Big Brother will die a horrible death unless it moves to another channel. Published on: 30 Jan, 2010 - 11:28 AM Comment posted by: XFACTORFAN I hope this is true, but i would want both celebrity & the normal summer series too.

This CBB was a good one lets just leave it there and start to realise BB is ending now,i don't want CH5 to have it or any other channel i want it to end. Published on: 30 Jan, 2010 - 11:56 AM Comment posted by: *mazedsalv** This series of CBB has surpassed the ratings of BB10, CBB6 and is on par with BB9's rating (maybe a little higher). Channel 5 getting an average of 3.5m+ for a show, would be a dream to them.
