 Head of 'Five': "We are interested in CBB" |

May not be the end after all!

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. |

I'd rather them take on Big Brother too, but hey, this is understandable, and I guess one is better than nothing.

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.

It's way better than nothing. 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.

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

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.

I hope CBB returns, the summer one needs a rest but after that then whoever decides to snap it up if that happens can get the show back to what made it great in the first place.

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.

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.

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.

Without Davina it would be a different show.
Naah cant see it working on Five. People are just not in the habit of using that channel so it would just die a slow painful death. No true fan should want that.

Im not really arsed what happens to CBB its the regular show that concerns me CBB has provided a few laughs and is ok but lacks lots of the qualitys that makes bb appealing mainly the obscene money they have to pay to get these "celebs" to take part do you honestly think a single one of them give a toss about "winning" they dont gain anything they couldnt care less if they leave on day 1 or day 25 they get paid the same to me cbb has never had the appeal of the regular show.
i would happily see cbb die if it meant the regular show could go on.

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.

aye i guess there is that way of looking at it sid and to keep it on a positive note the survival of bb uk does look a fair bit brighter now than it did before cbb7.
so onwards and upwards

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.

If the regular series is back, it's definitely not next year. Maybe the CBB one will but not at this time of the year, I can see it in autumn.

Believe me, Channel 4 has done as much damage to Big Brother as it possibly could. 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.

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.
