I Reall Am Thinking Channel 5?

[chris1232]

I mean, What else do they show.. A few movies on a Sunday.. A few decent documentary's a week?

Big brother would be a killing for Channel 5?

What do you lot think?


Just found out, all the non Londoner big bro house mates are in the hotel partying, But the Londoners are out trying to get there 5 minutes of fame!

Also during BBLB Sree was being a pr*ck and Safia and Rodrigo had a go at him for being a tosser to Beiniaziar because she is ILL!

[chris1232]

No one else?

[Luanda]

Nobody will touch it with a bargepole in it present format. Unfortunately, the broad format has to stay the same due to licensing. BB has had its day and another reality idea will overtake it.

[MiuMiu]

I hope not, only because I don't hve channel 5!
:bawling:

Somebody should tell them that sree was only being mean because he has lost all control. The prescibtion drugs are in charge now.
:thumbs:
And what are they doing to seek out their fame?
Lapdancing, selling roses with the Romanians?

[Harry!]

Look at Robot Wars in the early 00's when it moved from BBC2 to Channel 5. It flopped. Same for BB.

[chris1232]

I think they are just going to all the clubs, Trying to get into papers i guess.

I think BB has a lot of life left especially after BB10!!

Why do you not have channel 5 :S:S!

[MiuMiu]

Because I'm in Ireland and it's not offered in the sky pakage over here.
:bawling:.
They have it up north tho.
Seemed a pretty **** channel to me when I lived there tho.

[chris1232]

ye It is but, BB will boost the views. But if it is not broadcasted everwhere in uk then maybe its pointless?

[chris1232]

Imagine if ITV bought it!!!!

They would own, I'm a celeb.. X-factor, BB oh my god

[Kate!]

so are charlie and rodrigo together in the hotel? anyone know any news on these two?

[MiuMiu]

ITV would be perfect.
They'd market it exceptionally well!
:thumbs:

[Scarlett.]

Channel 5 dont have the budget, and BB would kill ITV

[chris1232]

so are charlie and rodrigo together in the hotel? anyone know any news on these two?

Yep, They are in the Hotel. I think everyone is in there own rooms. Beini went home, Siavash is sleeping, karly and kenny are out and about same as Marcus and other Londoners i think!

[chris1232]

Channel 5 dont have the budget, and BB would kill ITV

And you know... How?

[Luanda]

ITV are losing millions and have cut production costs massively so a production like BB is out of the question. Possibly a minor satellite channel but the budget would be lower than Ch 4 and the viewing figures would be even less. As a result the clamour to be a housemate would decline aswell. All round a bad idea. BB has had its day and will be forgotten about as soon as the next reality show comes along.

How about Jeremy Kyle guests being thrown together on a council estate in Dewsbury and then filmed. The viewing figures would go through the roof.

do you know how much BB costs to run? C5 seriously do not have the cash, and I'm pretty sure its been said in a news story

[bananarama]

do you know how much BB costs to run? C5 seriously do not have the cash, and I'm pretty sure its been said in a news story


I have heard a figure of £60 million


That's why it won't turn up on any smaller channels.....

"Channel 4 will free up around £50m of its programming budget in 2011 by bringing Big Brother to an end next year.

The broadcaster confirmed this morning that the Endemol show would not return after its existing £180m contract comes to an end next summer."

Source : http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/broadcasters/big-brother-axe-to-free-up-50m-for-c4/5004864.article

Channel 4 doesn't make BB, it is outsourced and then contracted back. This goes for most productions on the terrestrial channels. Channel 5 and ITV don't have the budget.

£60 is quite cheap.

[chris1232]

Five, which is owned by Europe's biggest television company

You don't think they have the money, the contract is 180m, Is that for 5 years?

They have only ruled out talking about it, Tables could turn.

Yeah I think there are companies that could. But they won't........It's had a long controversial run and been assassinated by censorship and viewer indifference.

It's a financial hot potato......Don't expect it back any time soon if ever......

Like someone said, BBC2 has no reality?

[smokey]

Channel Five owner said they want a new image and Big Brother would ruin it.

[Scarlett.]

Like someone said, BBC2 has no reality?

BBC2's ethos;

"BBC Two (BBC2 until 1997) is the second major terrestrial television channel of the BBC, aimed at a wide range of subject matter and interests, and specialising in intelligent yet popular programme genres. Like the BBC's other domestic TV and radio networks, it is commercial-free and yet remains a comparatively well funded public service network, regularly attaining a much higher audience share than most current public service networks worldwide. It was the second British television station to be launched by the BBC (starting in 1964), and Europe's first television channel to broadcast regularly in colour, from 1967, envisaged as a home for less mainstream and more ambitious programming."

ITV are skint, they can hardly afford the programming they have got, they couldn't afford the cost involved by miles. Their main priority is I'm A Celebrity (which is also in danger) and The X Factor. It's not even worth thinking about. All the tv companies that Endemol had approached have turned it down so next year is almost certainly going to be the last deffo!
