Start date will be officially announced (and confirmed by C4) on either 19th or 26th May.

Start date will be officially announced (and confirmed by C4) on either 19th or 26th May.
Which would indicate that the launch date is mid-June.

Is there proof of that?
Because if you didnt just make that up from the top of your head, it would mean the Launch Date wont be until Mid June and thats ages away.

I think it will be in the middle of next month (May) and then start on 30th of may.
So i'd say 20th of may.

And now someone at Inside Big Brother called "Not Jacob" who is "not an insider...I just have contacts" is claiming May 23rd as the start date.

Yeah i think it will, but to be honest i really dont think C4 care about the rating...TBH, cause this is the last series.

You never know, look what they did with CBB7.. Turned it into a success.

I think they may have decided that having BB run on into September isn't a success. May to August works better. There's BGT at the beginning and X Factor at the end so they can't shift the show around and avoid everything.

I've always liked it when BB Ran over my Birthday on the 24th August, I hope that can still happen this year.. even if it does begin on may they could extend the series as its the final one on C4.
Wouldnt the 23RD Clash with that freak show BGT?
So would the 30th.
I like the way it finishes in september, for the launch and first few weeks I'm still in school so I can chat to ym mates about it, and we go back just in time for the final!

It should be the longest series yet actually.. start on Sunday May 30th... end on Friday 3rd Sptember!! Would be 97 days long I think when the longest UK series so far has been 93/94 days? lol

SOME NEWS!! FROM IBB
Before I start, I’m not an insider. I just have contacts.
May launch is happening, but I stress it isn’t 30th! 23rd ;) . (Note Embarrassing Bodies and Facejacker both finish airing on 21st May).
The campaign is going to be the same as usual but with a new part of the campaign (think BB5/7), check Davina’s Twitter- a few hints on a pic there ;) . Very nostalgic. The campaign is going to be short and snappy this time to gain instant hype instead of being drawn out and hype tailing off. First adverts will air in first week of May.

You legend.
So I take it were getting bill boards this year?
OMG Yay!
Question, if they do have bill boards would Northern Ireland get the Billboards or would it just be England? :rolleyes:

Big brother going until September just is too long. It seems too long. To August, it would be better.

I think this is correct. Gacejacker is Six episodes and that means it finishes on May 21st, I think it's definatly starting that week- 22nd to 28th

That makes sense:
Mondays- The Worlds ______ and Me- No specified date
Tuesdays- Heston’s Feast- 18th May
Wednesdays- Jamie Oliver Does …- 19th May
Thursdays- How The Other Half Live- 13th May/Charlie Brooker- 3rd June
Fridays- Embarrassing Bodies- 21st May/Facejacker- 14th May/Ricky Gervais- 9th July
Saturday- Films (n/a)
Sunday- The Restoration Man- 9th May
So it could launch on Thursday 20th May with highlights on Friday at 10pm. Then with Embarrassing Bodies gone the following Friday and Ricky Gervais on at 10.35pm, they might finally have one 90 minute long eviction show.
That sounds like a good idea; they’re getting a head start before the BGT live shows begin on 30th May. ??
Also... from the insider...
The reason for the much earlier launch is that June-September has never really worked, and there are very limited windows to launch in what with BGT and the World Cup. It will give it chance to bed in and have stable viewers before its knocked for six. Then hopefully it will recover.

Ikr and like last year it were 10 o'clock most nights but say Charlie Brooker's show's still on BB moves to 9pm, they did that last year alot. I'm getting really excited now. And I will watch BB instead of world cup and BGT!

But i dont get it, wont it clash with BGT on its last week then?
BGT finishes the end of May!

Hopefully BGT will be on week 2 so BB will have one week to gain viewers, hopefully they'll be doing all they can to keep viewers. Isn't BGT on at 9pm though, cos what C4 have been doing every saturday is putting films immidietly after BGT, like Run Fatboy Run and last night's Borat. So they might use BGT to they're advantage and put BB on at 10pm every night so hopefully people will tune in straight after BGT!

BGT finishes the end of May!
Live shows 31st May-5th June

If it is due for a May launch, I would expect alot more stuff in papers and speculation than we actully have.

[B]Well BB will start either before or straight after that, definatly not on that week. If they start after then that'd be good but I'd prefer they started a week earlier so they have a chance to prove themselves. But oh well as I said in an earlier post straight after BGT has been finishing C4 have done a film to catch viewers. I'm sure if the finals run until 10, I can't see them going any later than 10 so any BB fans can watch BGT finals and then watch BB straight after :)

On Monday & Friday the live shows will probably run 9-10.30pm, running 8.30pm-10pm on the other days.
That means that week Big Brother could go out at 8pm on Monday and Friday with 10pm the other days. And the eviction at 10.35pm on the Friday.
They'll still be up against the soaps but its better than being up against BGT. Its just something they'll have to deal with if they launch earlier.

They could use it to their advantagte to gain viewers as they have been the past saturday's.
