[Mystic Mock]

[bbfan1991]

[Tom4784]

There's a lot of rumours about it now, I can see it happening although I hope it doesn't, C5 will only kill off BB forever.

[\PJ/]

Let it die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rubbish
they will show it on Ch5HD.


It will be a New Show
not as bad as Ch4.


Richard is Live on SkyNews in a few mins.

[bbfan1991]

Rubbish
the will show it on Ch5HD.


It will be a New Show

They are better off resting it for a while so they can go through the format and refresh it;).

[Jack_]

Like Dezzy said, it'd probably kill Big Brother forever - and for that reason, I'm not sure I want it back yet.

[arista]

Let it die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


No PJ
Ch4 Wrecked it.


New Owners Ch5 will have harder tasks
Bring That On.


This Site is Alive


Thank You Richard.

[iRyan]

I'd love to see them revamp the format a bit and come back with it next summer as 'The New Era of BB'.

[Mystic Mock]

They are better off resting it for a while so they can go through the format and refresh it;).

i believe it would take 5 years to come back anyway.

[arista]

Like Dezzy said, it'd probably kill Big Brother forever - and for that reason, I'm not sure I want it back yet.



you will will dip into Ch5 at times
to see it.


Harder Tasks
means Fitter folks going on.


Richard is Live on SkyNews Now

[Harry!]

Least this forum wont die just yet :)

[arista]

You are Wrong

Richard is Live Now on SkyNews

[arista]

True


He just said he wants to buy
many new shows.

[janaddy86]

I think the format would change drastically. It would be geared more towards what he can cross sell.

Richard is Live on SkyNews Now

Yes, but no one watches Five. It's such a small channel.

My point being that if it went there, it would get less viewers than on C4, and the chances of it being picked up in five - ten years would be even slimmer.

Not True now they have 2 Aussie Soaps


Jack you are Stuck in the Past , sadly.

[arista]

Watch him on SkyNews now

[BB_Eye]

Isn't it weird how Dirty Des can afford to buy a lossmaking TV channel and a major reality TV show, but is still happy to make half his newspaper staff redundant.

[Omen]

Of course the owner of the Star would want BB.

Name me a successful C5 show and make that a homegrown one so Neighbours and H&A don't count.

[arista]

Yes Even a Big Brother Magazine
he will piss off 'Heat Mag'

[arista]

name me a successful c5 show.



csi

[Tom4784]

csi

That's an import though, I don't think they've ever had a long running show that they have developed.

Sky have shag all programme content too if you want to be picky about it.

dont they have chris ryans strikeback?

[bananarama]

BB would make a lot of money for his OK magazine........Also BB on channel 5 under his management probably wouldn't have the silly censorship that CH4 have done for the past 5 years.....

Some comment that CH5 is a "small" channel....Perhaps if BB is properly managed CH5 could become a bigger channel......BB has served CH4 well as far as viewer ratings are concerned......


One main thing CH5 would have to try and do is change the format some way so that the "hating" element of BB viewers cannot so easily kill off story lines in mid track by hate type voting to evict......

Its not so much CH4 that has killed BB I am afraid the so called BB fans have a lot to answer for in that respect......Constantly killing off story lines because of bandwagon hate fests

[Tom4784]

Sky have shag all programme content too if you ant to be picky about it.

The difference is that C5's a terrestial channel and Sky isn't. How many imports do BBC1-C4 rely on? Not many.

C5 is terrible with homegrown content, they'll do one or two seasons of BB and then it'll die forever since no channel will pick something up that's been cancelled twice. They should have let it rest for a few years since C5 isn't the answer.

[Tom4784]

Police Interceptors
Ch5 Mondays 8PM

That doesn't exactly light the ratings on fire though doesn't it? If you look at the other terrestial channels they all have flagship shows while C5 doesn't since it relies on imports and documentaries.

BB wouldn't be a great fit really I don't think unless they really revamped C5 completely and I can't see it happening as C5 isn't popular with the same demographics C4 is.

[Chels]

No I don't want a different format D: it'd be weird without the same producers and Marcus Bentley not narrating ;/

I don't want it back.

[Patrick]

OMFG I am so happy.

Endemol you are sexy beasts I love you.

Thank you Desmond guy.
I would use a Wombai Dance Emotion right now!

[arista]

Yes Ch5
now has Ch5 HD

before the BBC1HD which is soon.


Making efforts to stay ahead matter
also Richard confirmed on SkyNews he will remain under Public Ofcom.
So he is so far taking the best route.

On the Media Guardian Live Audio Chat
they did not like him
but they recorded there tape yesterday.


He is Keeping Dawn Airey
who has improved much of the content.

And he is keeping Milkshake - the kids shows early AM

[fivecougz]

Neighbours and Home & Away are like Fosters beer ... we export it cos it's ****! ;)

[arista]

OMFG I am so happy.

Endemol you are sexy beasts I love you.

Also the New Big Brother can have Hard Tasks
Fitter Folks going on it.

So I think It can become even better than of the recent BB.

[arista]

Yes the BBC were shocked when Ch5 Bought there Neighbours.


Ch5 having both of them on there Ch5HD
is good.

[Mystic Mock]

because the contestants will be fitter dosent mean there gonna be better.

[Bigbrofan25]

OMG this is brilliant news

[arista]

because the contestants will be fitter dosent mean there gonna be better.



Sure - But at Least they can do the Hard Tasks.


New Location for the New Contract - as well.

[Mystic Mock]

Sure - But at Least they can do the Hard Tasks.


New Location for the New Contract - as well.

where will it be?

[arista]

I give Richard Credit
One Hour after the Deal was done he goes Live on Ch5 and then SkyNews
to Confirm nothing is going
only more on.

[alc09]

Arista, are you employed by channel 5?

[Iceman]

Final nail in BB's coffin

[arista]

where will it be?


Well that is why the Deal is still being done.

But having it away from Houses like Elstree
will be Far Better.



We have to wait for the News
from
Media Guardian or SkyNews on this.

[arista]

Arista, are you employed by channel 5?



Not At all.


I watch SkyNewsHD on one of my TV's
so I get faster updates.

[arista]

No I don't want a different format D: it'd be weird without the same producers and Marcus Bentley not narrating ;/

I don't want it back.


Marcus can still be asked to work on the New Ch5 BB Show
in its New location.


Getting Rid of the Current Producers is a Good thing.

[Bigbrofan25]

This would be great how likely is it that its gonna happen?

[Saph]

sooo.. what did this guy say? is it a yes?

[arista]

Let it die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Also PJ - you do not post as Much
which I miss
as you are a Wise Guy.


Give Richard Credit
this is Big Money that no other group had
he takes Big Risks,
The Star is just 20p - that is a Fun paper.

[Marsh.]

I'm worried it'd turn out like The Farm. The Star is always bull****ting about a sex room in the BB house and a load of crap which channel 5 would actually do.
We'd end up with ****ty contestants like the masturbating porn star and pig molesting slag.

[arista]

sooo.. what did this guy say? is it a yes?


Minnie who works on 'Live From Studio Five'
asked him Direct about Big Brother as it is on there show once a week.
He said yes we are in talks.

Dawn Airey who is the Ch5 Boss
has Endemol Contract to go through.

Big Brother was just also confirmed Live On SkyNews
as part of Richards Shopping list.


We have to wait for this current no good Ch4 one to End.


Then Ch5 can confirm BB on Ch5 from a Date they want.

[bananarama]

No I don't want a different format D: it'd be weird without the same producers and Marcus Bentley not narrating ;/

I don't want it back.


:joker: Don't worry no one will be twisting your arm to make you watch it.....Unless of course that is part of the new format.......:joker:

[BringItOn]

Wow Richard Woofe is taking on two big shows, Big Bro & Most Haunted that have been around for the last ten years but arn't as popular as they used to be. Good luck with trying to bring them back to their former glory mate :) This could be a big change for five.

[arista]

No as The Farm was when Ch5 was a Weaker Company.


Now they have Ch5HD on Sky and Virgin
and soon others.

New Ch5 Big Brother in HD and normal Ch5
Yes the way Forward.

[Grimnir]

channel 5 budget will be a lot smaller

so might get back to basics old school BB

and channel 5 + desmond = sex

old school BB and more sex will get my vote :thumbs:

Not saying it will definitely be **** but **** in HD is still ****. Just more expensive ****.

Yeah, exciting eh?. I can't wait to see how "News of the world"esque BB get if he brings it back; attractive women allowed on the show only if they give it in writing that they'll get their t*ts out "for the lads" at least twice a day.

More booze and more "ladish behaviour" encouraged, while the women are expected to just go along with the patronising, borderline sexist behaviour, then, hated by other women watching the show if they don't , voted out as soon as possible, but even if theydo go along with it, they'll be hated all the same for it and voted out just as fast.

Just because BB may come back, doesn't mean it's a good idea. The important thing is what it looks like if it comes back.

[Goal]

You were moaning when you found out this would be the last BB, the another channel comes in to get it to keep it going and you still moan ffs does it matter what channel its on? As long as you are able to watch it why should it matter

[Mystic Mock]

i agree but im still worried the deal wont go through.

[Mac Hiavellian]

I never wanted BB to end but after these last few series I've finally accepted it needs at least a year's break. The idea of it being on Five was quite appealing despite the lower budget.

However, if the guy running the Daily Star takes over surely this would mean more glamour model types, more fame-hungry exhibitionists, sleaze and tackiness.

[Fowley]

Let it die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes
or at least a few years break

[\PJ/]

Also PJ - you do not post as Much

Im back now arista i had a small break :)

[eye sea]

I think Channel 5 needs to revamp it. On twice a year at only a four week run for each series. Also, I hope they improve on Channel 4's ridiculous decision making.

[MaratSafinForever]

The ratings will be absolutely rubbish on 5.

What a hypocritical contradiction.

[arista]

Times are changing.

That we will have to wait and see, to be fair.

[prkp12]

Oh I hope they do pick it up, i think the ratings would stay the same, i mean if at least 2 million people are watching everyday then im sure they will click next on the remote and do it next year!
And all the news stories i am reading are kinda sounding good!

[ElProximo]

They are better off resting it for a while so they can go through the format and refresh it;).

Strongly agree. Let 2 or 3 Summers pass and it may need to return in a very different looking format and a unique new look and feel. I still say something much more 'mature' that goes far more to the 'original idea' in a more scary, realistic and profound way.

I have thrown this example/suggestion out to would-be future BB producers but take a look at Horizon's superb 2-part series 'How Mad are You' if that were done as a Big Brother experiment.

They may also need to accept it will not be a huge spectacle and may even need to start small/unheralded and build an audience again.

But yeah.. at least a few seasons and a new format before it works again.

[LBB11]

Ch5 has had some good shows like Prison Brake The Mentalist Flasforward CSI and my fav so far Brun Notest. Dont know how BB would be on 5 but we,ll have to wate and see if 1. they realy do buy it and 2. They find some way to make it like new so to say.

[bigbrothermaniac008]

1)He own's the Daily star whic is "The Official Big Brother Newspaper"
2)He owns OK! Magazine which heavily prints about BB
3)He wants more reality shows on C5
4)He could advertise the show in his publications..

I think it's a cert!

Desmond in his own paper.

[Kaaarenn!]

Hope it does go to Channel 5 or any channel, as long as it stays on :)

[Lwize]

If BB comes back, revamping is fine as long as they don't choose the BB USA model.

[alc09]

The show needs a break, no doubt about that.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

So is this Desmond guy definitely buy C5 & BB then.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Bump

[janaddy86]

So is this Desmond guy definitely buy C5 & BB then.

Channel 5 is definite, although it might still be subject to Government ruling or whatever. Nothing confirmed about BB.
