Can someone explain...

... Why people think million pound drop Will be linked to big brother? Like, in what way?

[Harry!]

One word = Davina

[Patrick]

Made a thread on this last week, and no one could even give a good answer either.

People just think because Davina host it, its related.

Its not related in any way.

It was only because various insiders (mostly called Jacob) on various forums were saying that BB was going to launch on Sunday May 30th or May 23rd. Then we had this previously unheard of Endemol show hosted by Davina scheduled for that same week.

Now that BB is almost certainly known to be launching the 2nd week in June, there is no longer any need to doubt that MPD is a separate show.

Well I have just decided I believe that they are linked.

Already had my suspicions because:

-Davina
-Channel 4 never usually does game shows
-The big prize money
-Likely gimmick as it's the last series

And i now believe it alot more because i just saw a 30second trail for million pound drop and at least 10 seconds focused on somebody's EYE.

This. However Million Pound Drop is apparently not Live? or it is Live? argh I don't know!! but suppose all we have to do is wait and see..

It'll probably be along the lines of:

the amount of cash will form the prize fund,
or the winners will become housemates :)

Thanks people :)

The claim is that MPD "is real event television and will be broadcast LIVE over six consecutive nights in May.
"


However Appalusestore have tickets for May 20th, 24th & 26th at 7.30pm.

MPD is in the C4 schedules at 10pm for 6 nights from 24th May.

Sounds like they may be pre-recording 2 shows per night.

The recordings are not at Elstree. The "secret location" would appear to be 3 Mills Studios, London E3 3DU. The original Big Brother series was based at those studios and the House built nearby.

Because Davina's hosting it and people (wrongly) thought BB would be launching in May.
