Endemol in "Huge" Talks With Channel5!!!

[JohnnyBB]

Endemol have instructed lawyers to look into making a bid for Five.


* To confirm Endemol want to buy channel 5 NOT channel 5 want to buy the rights to BB.
BUT The possibiltys of this happening is great news as we may get a bigger all year round BB alot like germany's village type bb show.
BB may Be saved and may come back bigger and better!!!

[chuff me dizzy]

Fingers,toes,legs,arms,even tits crossed !!! IF this years is a good series i think (and hope)someone will buy the rights

[BB2010 Avery]

Mark my word someone will buy the rights

[Niall]

:shocked:

OMG OMG OMG OMG

Come on BB, lets hope you get another chance!! :D

[*mazedsalv**]

yes :D
But if they make a deal when will they do the next BB? as much as i like BB i hope it returns in 2012 not next year... give it a little rest :)

Five need BB's ratings, they are not doingw ell at all right now, except for shows such as US police/investigation shows... all other Five shows flop. And those highest rated only get 2m.

I can see why they would want it.

:joker:

Id like at least a year break though so the interest can be recaptured.

I could never get bored of BB it is my summer

[Ramsay]

BB needs a rest
a year or two without it would do it good

[Appearance_Of_A_Junky]

god no, i want my summers back - i dont see the sunshine during the winter (work nights)

let it die a good death.

[eye sea]

I refer you all to my signature. ;)

Good confirmation and follow up on the big rumour. A lot of discussions about this and most seemed to think it was a good idea.
Will it be back next season though?
I wouldn't be too sure. It may just be better to allow a few seasons to pass.

What I really like about it - BB 'could' come back but I think something entirely different, different channel, different production team, really a different approach altogether,
and,
one of the comparisons I would point to was a Horizon program called 'How Mad are You'.
I don't mean to say the exact same thing but more the idea of a genuine socio-psychological experiment, more realistic and maybe something done inside a real mansion.

The worst case scenario is something that is dumbed down and turned into a kind of 'teen program' music-television game-show version (more than it is now).

But i hold out hope.

endemol are looking to buy channel 5 outright so they would be able to have full control of bb from production to broadcast that would be perfect (if they decided they wanted to do another series that is)
this has been rumoured for a while and it looks like they are preparing a bid but they arent guaranteed to be succesful but its fingers crossed.

[StGeorge]

Does that mean the same production crew will still be there?

Only good news if the incumbent numpties are all shipped out as well....including shouty-woman.

[Patrick]

yes :D

Yeah same, I think as much as it would pain me to be bored all summer next year I think it would be good to have Big Brother 12 in 2012 lol

We're always a year behind the current series LOL

I so hope this is true.

[Appearance_Of_A_Junky]

No one can make you watch

No, but I still will. I do however think thats its starting to go stale, it needs some injection that I dont think another channel can do. Rather it needs to be left alone a while then come back.

there is such as thing as flogging a dead horse.

[Joelle.]

I hope it does come back but I do think it would benefit from a years break so it can come back better than ever.

[eye sea]

I hope it does come back but I do think it would benefit from a years break so it can come back better than ever.

Too long a break could be a bad thing though.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I so hope this happens & we get BB back next year:dance::dance:

[bbfan1991]

Fingers crossed!:cool:.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Too long a break could be a bad thing though.

I agree with that:hugesmile:

[Jack_]

It pains me to say this, but I honestly think another channel would kill Big Brother for good. I think I'd rather it take a break and then return in the future.

[King Gizzard]

Been confirmed theyre in talks with Al Jazeera now too.

[Mystrios]

Ugh Channel 5 :S

at least i will be old enough to apply next year

was only a few months out for this year :(

[billy123]

It pains me to say this, but I honestly think another channel would kill Big Brother for good. I think I'd rather it take a break and then return in the future.
it wouldnt just be another channel though it would be their very own channel that they run it would would free them up to show it as they see fit.

[Patrick]

I so hope this happens & we get BB back next year:dance::dance:


Ew No.


Ugh Channel 5 :S

This, well I won't be able to apply next year but if C5 can keep it going then I will be able to apply in a few years :)

If they do buy it, I really don't think they would air it in 2011?

Possibly 2012? But not 2011.. thank god.

[Joelle.]

Too long a break could be a bad thing though.

I would like to see it next year but I think they might have a gap if it is moving to channel 5

[bbfan1991]

I would rather it be on another channel but maybe they could give the show a year break after or something so the format can be discussed etc:).

[King Gizzard]

Cause Endemol run the whole shebang, it would be exactly the same wouldnt it? If so, good

[Smithy]

Even if they buy C5 it doesnt guarantee BB is back :(

[Mystrios]

Cause Endemol run the whole shebang, it would be exactly the same wouldnt it? If so, good

Hopefully... But nothing is certain

[billy123]

Cause Endemol run the whole shebang, it would be exactly the same wouldnt it? If so, goodpretty much yes except they wouldnt have c4 bosses whining in their ear because they are scared to death of controversy.

[Niall]

Endemol don't have control over the budget though, so quality of the house may suffer if Channel 5 don't cough up the dough.

Anyways I hope this is true, I don't care what channel its on, having BB is better than no BB at all imo! :D

[Mystrios]

Even if they buy C5 it doesnt guarantee BB is back :(

More than likely does i mean what shows are good on channel 5 at the moment.

A show like BB would do the channel a favor

[billy123]

Anyways I hope this is true, I don't care what channel its on, having BB is better than no BB at all imo! :Dchannel 5 would be owned by endemol though so they would have control of the budget :crazy:

[Beastie]

Bb should be back next year.. on channel 5... maybe do like an 8 week series or something!! I am sure they will get a house up and running by next summer!! go bb! gooooooo!

[Niall]

Oh what?? Endemol are trying to buy C5 as a whole?! I thought that C5 were just bidding for BB lol!! I really am stupid sometimes, thats the second post I've made today thats wrong lmao!! :joker:

[billy123]

Heres hoping :D

If endemol buy Channel 5 it will be a 90% chance BB will be back i mean what intrest could endemol have in Channel 5 for any other reason

[ILoveTRW]

If BB gets picked up next yeah, it will only carry on with the downward spiral until its so dead that it never come back

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

It says on the article that, the deadline is the 21st of this month, so do you think we should know so after, if they have bought it or not.

[Niall]

haha :blush: yes endemol are bidding for c5.

Ok cheers for that lol.

In that case then, I really hope this comes true, if endemol controlled C5 it would almost be like a permanent home for BB....unless they go bankrupt of course *touch wood*.

[billy123]

bloody hell your a ray of sunshine as usual.

[Niall]

:joker:

[Maia]

Oh this'd be brilliant if it happened! Fingers crossed everyone! :spin2:

[Niall]

nah they are a jigganormous company i think they own channels elsewhere in the world. as well.

Woohoo!! So its virtually confirmed then?! :D

[billy123]

Woohoo!! So its virtually confirmed then?! :Dlol
no i wish it was though it is the best option bb could wish for.

[eye sea]

Channel 4 will wish they never gave it up.

BB12 next year will be another ratings winner. ;)

[bigbrothermaniac008]

I also orgasmed as I saw this thread ;) If they did buy channel 5, it would deffinatly come back!! WooHoo!!

[blackgloves]

I'd love it to come to Five, i feel that BB has a core audience which has stuck with it over the ten years, and will continue to do so on Five. Getting 2million daily for Five would be amazing for them, and hopefully help their other programmes.

I find it interesting that Emma Willis was promoted to co-hosting BBLB for the "last series", maybe Endemol bosses are building her up as the main presenter of BB in the future.

I could quite easily see it going like :
7pm Big Brother's Little Brother (or put it on Fiver, see below)
7.30pm Zoo Life
8pm Police Interceptors
9pm CSI 12,000th repeat
10pm Big Brother
11pm NCIS 12,000 repeat


Eviction Night :
9.00pm Big Brother
10.30pm CSI
11.30pm Big Brother Late Night Live
Join Rufus Hound live from the BB complex as the housemates come to terms with one housemate leaving. A chance for BB to ask your questions + competitions and live streaming.


on Fiver :
6.30pm Home and Away First Look
7.00pm BBLB
7.30pm Neighbours rpt
....
11pm Big Brother Uncut
A chance to see some exclusive house action from the previous day
11.30pm BBLB Rpt
12am Big Brother Live

[Mac Hiavellian]

I think viewers would switch off an all-year series as they complain the 13 week run is one of the reasons BB was ruined. A 13 week run could be fine if planned thoroughly

[alc09]

Lets be honest here, Big Brother needs a break.

It's a laughing stock sadly, and you're simply deluded if you really think otherwise.

Lets hope it will come back strong in a few years, a break is a must because it has been on its last legs for a few years now.

[Jezzy]

Sorry, but I would hate Endemol to have control of C5. Give it a couple of years break, work out how it could be more entertaining and less car-crash TV, and then let's try it. Much as I love my BB, it is in serious need of a re-think.

To be honest, i think if it took a break for a few years, i would fear that people would lose interest in it, & when i did come back, the viewing figures were way way down & it would be axed all together, i personally would rather it went straight to anther channel next year & then let it fizzle out at its own pace.
