Billboards advertising BB11 from Monday

[President]

According to one of the Channel 4 press team on Twitter, they are putting up massive lit up billboards around the UK from Monday, so it looks like they're going all out to promote the final series.

When was the last time they had billboards to promote BB? Must be a good 5 years or so.

The "lit up billboards" thing sounds like what The X Factor did last year, if anyone remembers.

Edit 7:45pm: Here's a pic of one of the tube posters from Warren St. Station!:

OMG

That's brilliant (If it's true)
At least they're actually standing by their word of sending it out with a bang

[*mazedsalv**]

YESS :D
If thats true, absoloutley brilliant :D Its been since BB7 in 2006 they last did this.

[Mrluvaluva]

Looks like the series is going to be heavily advertised then. I wonder if there will be a longer advert tonight where the flowers form the eye?

[MusicMan]

Woooooo! :D
What good news indeed :)

[DigitalSid]

Guessed they would, hope they release a list of where they're situated, would like to see the Cardiff one, assuming there's going to be one here.

[Beastie]

Hope there is one in Yorkshire!!!!! also they need one in the valleys of Wales!!!!!! haha

Retweeted by Sarah Ellis (@sarahlucyellis) who works for the Channel 4 press team. Also the 3 of the first 7 followers of @insideeye are people from the Channel 4 press team, which leads me to think it's 100% legit info.

Of course, nothing's an absolute guarantee since no 'official' statement has been made by Channel 4 yet regarding the billboards. But it's very likely to happen.

[Sawyer]

yippie ****ingdoodar.

That's not sarcastic, by the way.

[DigitalSid]

@TotalBigBrother yes there really are, any they're special big glowing ones, and tube posters... #BB11 #bigbro

[DigitalSid]

If they're doing tube posters, they're probably paying CBS to handle it:

Brilliant news. Absolutely brilliant. And the more billboards, the better, quite frankly. Let's hope the heavy advertising works though.

[JohnnyBB]

obv someone on here as been snooping and listening to our demands!!!

[Glenn.]

We should know the Launch date Monday then? The date has to be on the billboards surely?

[Jack_]

We should know the Launch date Monday then? The date has to be on the billboards surely?

Yeah, and if the full trail airs during the Million Pound Drop, that's got to have the date on it too.

So only a few days until we find out then. After reading the bbspy article earlier, my guess is Wednesday 9th June.

[alfiegreen]

Yes! This sounds amazing!

[President]

Yeah, and if the full trail airs during the Million Pound Drop, that's got to have the date on it too.
On the trailers, they could easily say 'Coming Soon'. But I think we will find out by Monday the launch date. Wednesday by the absolute latest.

BB Spy probably have it spot-on with Wednesday 9th June, if we look at the provisional schedules, rumours, etc.

Ah yeah, but it'd make sense to have the date on it if it's on the billboards.

Does anyone have any pics of these X Factor billboards you mentioned? I remember some XF ones but can't remember what they looked like.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

This is fantastic news :hugesmile:

[Shasown]

Hope this makes up to Patrick for them releasing the eye when he was at school.

I remember seeing images of the XF billboards but I can't find them anywhere on the internet at the moment :bawling:! If I do find them, I'll post it here :)

Looks good Alfie but the launch date and time on there would be better promotion! lol :)

[LaLaLand]

Wow this is brilliant! I think that it may get much, much more viewers as people know basically "this is it" so viewers who have sadly switched off BB in recent years may come back, as "alfiegreen" says... one last time?

[alfiegreen]

would be good, i will update obvs once its been confirmed :)

it isn't really tbh..... :/ its reflecting the fact of the discussion we're having about billboards and the xfactor styled ones ?

[*mazedsalv**]

On the tube as well... which is good considering millions take the tube!! :D

I hope its all up around the big cities such as London, Cardiff, Eninbrough, places like Newcastles, Liverpool etc... and then smaller towns like where i live (Woking).

[Patrick]

Knowing Channel 4 they will probably ****ing advertise it in London alone and nowhere else outside London or England fgs.

Scotland, Northern Ireland, or Wales wont get a look at these I bet.

[Spike]

Great news they are actually doing some different advertising this time
What sounds like a big advertising campaign, the kinda different to usual eye and adverts (the funeral advert) and it being the last BB I can see the launch doing very well.

[janaddy86]

That's exactly what it looks like :)

[DigitalSid]

EDIT - Nah that's real, the visualiser tool poster has a different wall colour.

[*mazedsalv**]

Theres only one way to find out... someone needs to go there and check, get a tube ticket just to see :D

2nd thing today that is positive news, the first being that the old eviction interview format is baxck :), no more stupid panel and guests yayayy :) and now the billboards :D

[janaddy86]

no, its real.... its plausable that its fake... but very hard to make if it is fake :)

It's not that difficult, the tool does it all for you.

[janaddy86]

Yes but that took less than 1 minute to make and post again.

A little more work and you could have it pretty good I reckon.
