http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/apr/05/big-brother-to-return-this-year

A formal announcement is expected on Wednesday, and the plan will be to run Celebrity Big Brother in August for four weeks, with the traditional Big Brother returning nightly for a 13-week run in September
:dance::dance::elephant::elephant::elephant:

Yes the Way Charlie's live Gigs are going,
This Big Cash from King Desmond
could save him, for a while.

[Iceman]

It is understood that Big Brother will return to its traditional schedule in 2012 – running the celebrity show in January, before reappearing with the traditional group of wannabes in the summer months. That would mean an almost continuous run of Big Brother programmes – running night after night – on Channel 5 from August to January.

OVERKILL

[Jack_]

£200m? Is that more than the final contract C4 had with Endemol? I never thought it'd be that much, **** me :amazed:

[DigitalSid]

The September series is 13 weeks meaning just a few weeks between BB12 and CBB9 (CBB8 airing immediately before BB12), massive overkill, hope CBB9 doesn't launch till the end of January if true.

[DigitalSid]

£200m? Is that more than the final contract C4 had with Endemol? I never thought it'd be that much, **** me :amazed:

No, well, yes, £20 million more, but it's for five years, so works out at 40 mill a series rather than the 60 C4 paid.

[T*]

Exactly what I saw :D :shocked: :hugesmile:

[Tony1111]

Yep 200 Million Divide that over 10 shows and we'd get a rough house bufget. :p

[arista]

We Need Rough.



Keep It Real.

[Tony1111]

I mean rough as in estimated. :)

It's be 20,000,000 budget per series if it was divided equally. :)

Ok

[DigitalSid]

I mean rough as in estimated. :)

It's be 20,000,000 budget per series if it was divided equally. :)

It's probably divided around 60/40 (celebs cost a lot but I imagine hiring the George Lucas Stage and 300 odd staff for 3 months costs more).

Though I should point out, a fraction of Endemol's fee actually pays for the show, 5 million of the 60 million per year they got from C4 was actually used on the (summer) series.

So the budget shouldn't be affected at all by the move.

[arista]

"Desmond's Channel 5 to confirm Big Brother
return tomorrow - an exclusive for the Daily Star"



Yes that makes sense.


Good on Adam of Guardian Media team

[Jack_]

No, well, yes, £20 million more, but it's for five years, so works out at 40 mill a series rather than the 60 C4 paid.

Oh I get you now, thanks. Let's hope the quality of the show won't be affected too much or anything :)

[Omah]

Oh I get you now, thanks. Let's hope the quality of the show won't be affected too much or anything :)

The quality of the "show" will, inevitably, be tawdry and titillating ..... :yuk:

[DigitalSid]

Oh I get you now, thanks. Let's hope the quality of the show won't be affected too much or anything :)

It shouldn't be affected at all, only 5 million of that 60 million is actually spent on the show (the summer series anyway). Though C5 and Desmond's input will inevitably put pressure on them to make it worse.

[Tom4784]

I'm not sure I want it back, I suppose C5 could be a good home for the series as it's ratings are pitiful anyway and so a million or so views nightly would be welcomed. I do think two series on the bounce is a bit too much, They should have done a CBB in August, another in January and then have normal BB back in it's normal slot.

[T*]

Good Idea!

wow i can't take this in lol
I hope in a way it's a success (which is highly doubtful for C5) but you never know.

[joeysteele]

Great news, looking forward to it on Channel 5 too.

[Jords]

Yes! So excited! Should only do celeb or normal this year or none at all, as over-exposure isnt good, however who cares its back and Ill love it. :tongue:

[Kerry]

Brilliant :D


There goes my Summer nights again :joker:

[georgehudson]

Just thought.. Although it's back on C5, it will NEVER be back on C4, which makes me miss it abit, as the show helped me through alot of my personal problems.. I know it doesn't matter anymore but just saying that I was thinking about it never being back on C4, gonna' miss it on that channel.. some great memories. However.. I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO BE BACK ON CHANNEL 5!!! :D

[Jords]

Brilliant :D


There goes my Summer nights again :joker:

Does it matter what channel it's on?

If you were about to tie a rope around your neck but heard Big Brother coming on and that saved you, then cool.

So are you saying if you were about to hang yourself this time, and heard Big Brother you'd be thinking 'Screw it, this would be so much better on Channel 4' *Jumps*

I mean honestly, it doesn't matter what channel it's on, just aslong as they don't mess with it too much.

And as Justin Bieber wont stop saying, Never say Never.
It could come back to C4 in decades from now if it flops on C5 :joker: Although personally, Channel 4 ruined Big Brother - Just look at the last few weeks of BB11.

[Kerry]

*signs them away too*

:joker:

Edit: and winter nights!

P'ah. Who goes out at night anyway. So overrated :joker:

[JohnnyBB]

King Desmond has paid more money for this one little show, than he actually has for the actual channel the guys not soft this programme is gonna make him **** loads of money it could even change channel 5 forever which is weird could even distort the channel looking forward to it new production team new show no more. Phill Edgar jones no more sharon powers oh it's going to be great!

[Tony1111]

I'd love that, I wonder what them this year will be. Probably rebirth. :D

[MeMyselfAndI]

When will it be back? :amazed:

[Tony1111]

So last year we got a carnival setting this year I think we should get a Candy Land theme. :D

[Sawyer]

I reckon the comeback ads would be dramatic and epic.

"You never thought you'd be seeing me again, huh?" Lol.

[Tony1111]

I reckon with Dirty Desmond at the helm the Cameras in the showers will be back.

The people picking the house mates kind of ruined Big Brother in its last few series or even before that. We had a lack of quality, only a few sparkles.

[Tony1111]

Well hopefully Desmond keeps his word and lets the audience make the most decisions and let the fans chose who goes in. :D

[keithafc]

The fans should never decide. It should be up to the people who do the auditions for the show. That is the whole point of the show.

[Jordan.]

Hopefully they'll do some promotion on bigger channels too. I never watch 5 so wouldn't even see any ads for BB.

[Tony1111]

Well to be honest I agree to an extent if we did chose we'd probably put in all the nice folks and that'd be boring we need to hate the bitchy housemates that go in. I remember detesting Alexandra, Grace, Spiral, Gorman, Markus etc. but it's all part of the experience and the pay off is sweet. :D

[Tony1111]

It'd probably be advertised like a bitch all over the internet and papers though. :D

[Patrick]

Hopefully they'll do some promotion on bigger channels too. I never watch 5 so wouldn't even see any ads for BB.

This.

With Channel 4, they owned Box, E4, 4 Music and other Channels that they advertised BB11 on last year.

Fair play, Channel 5 as far as I know has no other channels that they have power over.

The only forum of advertising they'll use outside of their channel would be front page on the Daily Star everyday, and maybe a billboard.

[Stu]

I actually do have faith in Channel 5 to no doubt make it a tawdry, disgusting, trash show. Bring it on. What I'm worried about is the presentation. While a bigger and better advertising campaign is needed the C4 presentation of the show was spot on apart from the final year. Keep all the weird techy soundbites and graphics.

The other thing is would anyone even watch it. I see ratings being just as bad or worse than they were on Channel 4. From a common sense standpoint the amount of overkill they plan on doing is sheer madness. However it will be very interesting to see a main series run through winter.

Nice little lead in to Christmas. And straight into the preying jaws on The X-Factor.

Chuck it on at eleven and make it absoloute filth.

Now to get Channel 5 in Ireland :(.

[Zippy]

Hey! Zippy, long time no see. Haha.

[Zippy]

bringing it back so soon will not pull in new converts to the show. Which means only BB diehards will make the effort to start watching ch5. All of which means low ratings...lower than ch4s BB ratings for sure. But maybe slightly better than what ch5 normally gets. Which is, of course, why theyve bought it.

interesting to see what they do with it. But I don't have high hopes.

C5's Graphics could be very cheap and bland.

Charlie Sheen WON'T be on the show.

He's just another one of those Celebrities down with the kid from Home Alone, Boy George, Katie Price and MC Hammer that everyone thinks will be on CBB but they never are!

The public seem more gullible this time and seem to believe for some reason though, every BB article so far has had a topless picture of Charlie Sheen in it.

[Bigbrofan25]

This is the best news all week so far finally its taken them long enough lets hope they do a better Job than channel 4 did in the latter years

[Patrick]

I have to say, it felt pretty amazing removing that 'R.EYE.P' part of my SIG that I've had on for 8 Months.

I always said I'd only remove it once BB was brought back. :love:

[Tony1111]

I think they will do the job nicely. They don't seem to care about the swearing or nudity this time around. :)

Im past caring about the ratings now. They only seemed a problem when everyone was worrying about it getting axed and wanted it to improve so C4 would keep the show. Im just happy to have it back and don't give a **** if no one else wants to watch it anymore. Atleast us true fans of the show can watch and enjoy it for a few more years again.

Agree with you completely there.

[Stu]

Yeah, hit the nail on the head on that one.

It's all about tits, lager and casual racism.

[keithafc]

lol casual racism.

And yeah, i suppose you could put the hardcore BB view across. One problem with that, it could be off the TV screens after a year and never seen again. So ratings ARE important.

I only bothered about ratings for that very reason. I haven't discussed BB in real life for quite a bit (apart from the last Celebrity Big Brother) so how many people are watching makes no difference when they're locked into a 5 year contract. And by the end of the 5 years I'll probably be bored of BB anyway so won't care if its axed or not

Yeah, hit the nail on the head on that one.

It's all about tits, lager and casual racism.

Exactly. I don't get why people are bothered about it becoming trashy. I'm not sure if anyone has noticed but it isn't exactly high brow TV thats the envy of BBC4.

Btw do you have Sky? You'll be able to get Channel 5 if you do (saw your earlier post), you'll just need to tune it in manually

Understand your logic but think you could be mistaken. I think none diehards will tune in out of curiosity. If CH5 do a good job in selecting housemates then curiosity viewere will stay on board. As well as the diehards......

I was original drawn into BB "out of curiosity". When BB1 was aired I watched just brief snippets and thought to myself what a load of rubbish....Then followed all the after math publicity and I thought to myself "What have I missed"!!!!

I decided to give the next series (BB2) a chance to see what all the fuss was about out of curiosity.....From episode one of BB2 I was hooked.......Never missed a series since although have like many had some moaning to do about this that or the other but still keep watching.....Still kept on recording. Have complete collection of all series from 3 to the last CH4 series. BB2 I have only a part collection much to my regret......

BB is something you love or hate if you love it then it becomes like an addiction no matter how bad it may seem at times......

I wish CH5 luck regardless of the type of BB it may be.......Sexy, fights, Who cares as long as we see human nature in the raw.......As long as we see reality emerging from an unreal environment. As long as CH5 does not run scared of those idiots at Ofcom......and the twats that will inevitably write and moan to those censorship idiots at Ofcom....

please let this be true. I think either Emma Willis or Vanessa Feltz to present and i really hope they get marcus bentley to do voice over.:dance:

It's 100% true, confirmation is coming in roughly half an hour via The Star :).

[bananarama]

There is one thing that could make me turn my back on the CH5 version.......That is if Vanessa Feltz hosts it. I dispise that woman with a passion and don't believe I could stomach the eviction nights with her at the helm.

omg jus wondering, is there channel 5 in ireland?

[Stu]

I only bothered about ratings for that very reason. I haven't discussed BB in real life for quite a bit (apart from the last Celebrity Big Brother) so how many people are watching makes no difference when they're locked into a 5 year contract. And by the end of the 5 years I'll probably be bored of BB anyway so won't care if its axed or not



Exactly. I don't get why people are bothered about it becoming trashy. I'm not sure if anyone has noticed but it isn't exactly high brow TV thats the envy of BBC4.

Btw do you have Sky? You'll be able to get Channel 5 if you do (saw your earlier post), you'll just need to tune it in manually
Yeah man got it up and running and everything :thumbs:.

yes but its been on for 10 years. Now its not even having a break it seems. So everybody knows whether theyre interested in BB by now. Those who have tired of it will probably stay tired of it. It would certainly take a big effort for them to start watching it on ch5 regularly.

But I guess it depends what they do with it and how much they change it. Personally Id like it to adopt the US style where HMs can openly plot and plan against each other in a cutthroat way. Its more of a honest gameshow where they all want to win. But having a public vote(they dont have in US BB) would make it difficult to play the game that way.

[CharlieO]

im scared for what they do to bb but i really am looking forward to the adverts :)

As you imply it depends on personal tastes and what they do with it. Maybe a new batch of viewers gained while old viewers lost. Personally anything resembling US style would probably stop me watching it for good.....Add Vennesa Feltz to the mix and that would be the last straw for me.....

Well, when BB returns it will have been off air for 11 months compared to the usual 4 or 5 but that didn't do much to help BB9's ratings (which was effectively the first series in a similar amount of time with no one watching BBCH on E4).

[Jessica.]

k :conf:

[CharlieO]

IM SOOOOO EXCITED but scared at the same time. however i think desmond and endemol are clever enough to completely ruin it. but cheesy celeb presenter will ruin it as will new voiceover, new logo, telephone thing. we will just have to wait and see

guys i was thinking cbb9/bb12 is nearer now than when ubb finished. WEIRD seems like it was yesterday. im still upset lol. ubb was 7months ago, cbb/bb is back in suposedly 4 months. not that far. the forum will go mad/is going mad now

Feels a lot longer since UBB.

The next 4 months should fly by, with everything being agreed so late and 2 series being planned at once, there should be something in The Star or Express to discuss weekly.

[Joe.]

Wow! :o Off to school now will post a proper response later!

[Glenn.]

Officially confirmed via @channel5press!


LINKAGE (http://twitter.com/channel5press)

Only twos years though?

[who_r_the_housemates]

Yes this was pretty much confirmed last night by the head guys in a press release, also bb front cover of the Daily Star briefly mentioned on channel 5's 'The Wright Stuff' just now:dance:

[Glenn.]

But its what we've been waiting for. Actual confirmation from Channel 5.

[Chuck]

http://i54.tinypic.com/wuidrq.jpg

:dance:

Now, seriously 200 million for 2 years?

[who_r_the_housemates]

YES YES the same comment was taken from the press release last night I read it, will look for link.

[Glenn.]

YES YES the same comment was taken from the press release last night I read it, will look for link.

So? We never had no press release last night. Only going on what someone on twitter and DigitalSpy. I hardly think the report in the Daily Star is credible to be called confirmation. Its the Daily Star?

[who_r_the_housemates]

Yup here's one of them, the rest of the comment is a few paragraphs in

[url]http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/238975/Big-Brother-is-back-better-bigger-and-sexier[url]

great to see it mentioned finally on tv though :)

btw that article mentioned the new guys in charge of creative and production which I just made a thread on, wonder how else the show will differ aside from dirty des's input?

[Natalie.]

Glad it's back so soon, looking forward to it..

[who_r_the_housemates]

I realise the Daily Express is also owned by Desmond but it's clear that that tweet was taken form the same statement in the article that was made to the press last night. Regardless it's back and we're all anxious and excited, btw 2 years is better than none lets hope it will be extended :)

[Omah]

There is one thing that could make me turn my back on the CH5 version.......That is if Vanessa Feltz hosts it. I dispise that woman with a passion and don't believe I could stomach the eviction nights with her at the helm.

Yeah, me too - she makes me want to vomit ..... :yuk:

[Natalie.]

What month is it back?

[who_r_the_housemates]

Where have you been???? CBB is back in August, civilian one in September for 13 weeks then there's more next year :elephant:

[who_r_the_housemates]

Its Caroline Flack I can't stand so annoying especially teamed up with that so called comedian on ITV's 2 IMACGMOFHNow

I hope neither of them have anything to do with bb as the former has been rumoured...

[Beastie]

I think it will be brilliant. A summer CBB series and an Autumn normal series!

Hopefully they will build a jacuzzi. It may be cold between the months of September to December!

[Gillian-73]

Yessss! best news ever. lets hope they do it justice!!

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

I just wet myself a little with excitement! BRING IT! :D

[who_r_the_housemates]

I think it will be brilliant. A summer CBB series and an Autumn normal series!

Some say it will be overkill, I don't mind it all depends on what this new bb format will be like at how it's received.

Hopefully they will build a jacuzzi. It may be cold between the months of September to December!

Yep a large indoor pool of some sort was rumoured:devil: no more lazing about in the sun, plus if it's indoor bb wont have to worry about the decibel levels at night:dance2:

[Tony1111]

Yeah perhaps a smaller garden and bigger interior with a pool room and sauna. :D

If it's a success we might have another 11 series to come on Channel 5 :D

[_Seth]

If it's a success we might have another 11 series to come on Channel 5 :D

I hate to say it but I really can't see that happening. :(

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

I hate to say it but I really can't see that happening. :(

Hmmmm, we'll see how this Autumn's series pans out and I'm just really happy it's back on our screens :dance:

[Glenn.]

Some say it will be overkill, I don't mind it all depends on what this new bb format will be like at how it's received.



I agree. Plus I think Autumn is a good spot for a Big Brother. Its only this year after all. BB13(Can't quite believe I've just typed that) will be back in its summer slot next year.

Happy Big Brother Announcement Day guys!! This thread is to commemorate the return of BB!

http://www.channel5.com/articles/big-brother-comes-to-channel-5 :D
It is on their site now!

[RtooDee2]

Yeah. Just on Radio 1 about it.
Quite shocked its back so soon. I thought it would be a couple of years.
Good news indeed.

[Ryan57]

Really pleased.

Just a shame my Channel 5 picture is so weak.

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

I added Channel 5 to my Sky Box yesterday. I have a feeling I may be watching it more often now. It's very exciting. :D

[CharlieO]

WOOOP i keep changing my mind whether im happy but i am i think thought still scared

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

Is there a countdown thread? We need a LAUNCH DATE! :D

[Glenn.]

Thats the thing I love about BB. Its the pre-BB hype. And its going to be intensified this year because its all g.oing to be 'new'

[ButterflyGirl]

Great news, so exciting! :cheer:

[CharlieO]

i know im a sad loser but its my bday on friday and im more excited about bb than stupid birthday. LOVE BB decided im extatic its back. if it turns out crap i can always rewatch channel 4 ones

[Tony1111]

Is anybody else watching Channel5press on twitter, I know I am, it's updates every few seconds! :D

[Incensed]

Great news! WOOO HOOO! :cheer2:

[Tony1111]

They just retweeted someones suggestion about Vannessa Feltz hope to God they aren't considering her. :(

[ButterflyGirl]

Nooo not Vanessa Feltz anyone but her :(

[michael21]

Hmmmm, we'll see how this Autumn's series pans out and I'm just really happy it's back on our screens :dance:

This

[lukee]

it only two years cause of the house permission till 2013

[Nick.B]

I'm really excited about BB coming back, but the only problem is, I detached myself from the show last year. I got myself all ready for the last series, knowing it wasn't coming back - well, at least it wasn't back then and now it's back.

I'm really happy though and I will most definitely be watching. 24/7 Streaming will be back too according to the paper this morning, so that's all good.
I did hear BBLB would be back, how would it work though? Would it all just be done on Channel 5?

I'm assuming there will be some sort of streaming from the house on the telly throughout the day, then there will be BBLB, the evictions on a Friday etc... It's going to be a complete BB-Fest if everything is done on Channel 5 and no spin off channels.

[Tony1111]

It's funny this time last year BB would be on next month and we were all sad because it was the end we were preparing for. :)

[thisisbigglitter]

[B]Give the people what they want, the man has a story to tell, he's an ultimate Glam Rock Icon and PERFECT for big brother for channel 5 !
Get him in, he is the one, the only, the leader !
He is Gary Glitter!
Glitter for BB!!!!

[thisisbigglitter]

Glitter...........
Gary Glitter...............

[BigBrotherfreak]

would love to see the house now bet they have demolition it all from the back and rebuilt it and i think the chickens should be back x

[Sawyer]

Ok

[Benjamin]

The chickens :love:

[joeysteele]

Not a good move.

[arista]

No they can not.

[Tony1111]

Ahh the chickens, I would do unspeakable things to those Chickens. Like Kinga and her bottle! :evilgrin:

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Thats the thing I love about BB. Its the pre-BB hype. And its going to be intensified this year because its all g.oing to be 'new'

I know Glenn, & i love this forum pre BB, to think that we were not getting it back & now its going to C5, can you imagine what its going to be like on here. a few days before the show starts, this place is going to be mental.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Not a good move.

100% agree with you.:thumbs:

[Stu]

I don't get these people saying 'but I already finished my Endemol life seperation treatment with the therapist!'.

It's a TV show. Watch it. Or don't watch it.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

They just retweeted someones suggestion about Vannessa Feltz hope to God they aren't considering her. :(

Hope to god its not her presenting:shocked:, i dont think she has the personality to present this type of show.

[Benjamin]

Ahh the chickens, I would do unspeakable things to those Chickens. Like Kinga and her bottle! :evilgrin:

:laugh2:

[Tony1111]

In all seriousness now that this is a Discussion thread so based on what you've heard what's your thoughts on a likely CBB line up?

[Patrick]

Isn't this a pointless thread?
Why can't we just discuss the show in our own threads? It's a forum.

So is every little thing meant to be posted in here? Will get annoying after.. a minute.

*waits for him to leave again*

Who are you?

[Joe.]

Really nervous, up on a school trip from 5th-11th august, hope i don't miss it -_-

[Patrick]

I don't get these people saying 'but I already finished my Endemol life seperation treatment with the therapist!'.

This.

People on Facebook and stuff are like, 'Well I said my goodbyes, let's leave it there.'

Er, so because you cried and said Bye it shouldn't be brought back?
Ridiculous.

[Patrick]

Really nervous, up on a school trip from 5th-11th august, hope i don't miss it -_-

I will LOL if it launches on the 6th of August.

Who are you?

You can still make threads, but when there was 10 all around the same thing it's easier to put them all together. :bored:


Now stop your whining and be excited that BB is returning. :hugesmile:

[Tony1111]

I think the Launch night should be Monday 1st and evictions on a Sunday. People will have less nights out on a Sunday because of work the next day so if X Factor was finishing around 9 or 10 on Sunday we could tune in right afterwards and avoid a ratings row.

[Benjamin]

When are they holding auditions?

[Red Moon]

When are they holding auditions?

They are going to have to start real soon. There isn't much time left to do all the stages of the audition process and fit a summer show in.

[Benjamin]

Yeah I was thinking that. I wonder if they will run them the same way C4 did.

[Rob]

maybe that's why they've announced it so early then, so they can get the auditions underway!

[Omah]

http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2011/apr/06/big-brother-celebrity-special-channel-5

The announcement of a celebrity edition this summer followed by a wannabe-celebrity run later in the year suggests that the revival will retain the broad structures established by Channel 4. The new landlord has also indicated that the hysterical residence will continue to be situated in Elstree, Hertfordshire, which may be a blow to hopes for property prices in the area. But, beyond a statement from the network's director of programming, Jeff Ford, about bringing "energy, optimism and vibrancy" to the show, there are no clues yet to possible changes of content.

Certainly, the factors that led the original British broadcaster to cancel the commission – a tiring franchise that was becoming increasingly sexualised and verbally violent – seem unlikely to bother Desmond, whose media portfolio includes the adult entertainment channels Television X and Red Hot TV.

Critics who felt that the first British version of the format had already lowered broadcasting standards, with scenes of racial bullying and sexual congress with a bottle, will fear that such moments may come to seem highbrow peaks in comparison with Desmond's version.

:eek:

[Red Moon]

God are they still going on about Kinga and the bottle in BB6...... how random. Is that all the can think about some random drunken moment. Is that what the press think BB has become. That was over 5 years ago.

[Omah]

[bananarama]

The standards of BB was lowered when it was dumbed down for children viewing and voting and all those silly housemates that behave like silly kidds in a school playground.

The Kinga issue although distastful was at least at an adult level........With shows like BB all moral attitudes need to have a broad base line......Those that don't like the heat should stay out of the kitchen.

To much judgment as to if some female housemates are sluts or slags or not with little judgment on male behavour of a similar nature.

What is a slut. A prostitute. A stripper. A porn actress.......They are called sluts and yet one night stand merchants who shag at the drop of a hat a complete stranger probably regard themselves as better than prostitutes. Of course from a moral point of view they are not

At least a prostitute puts a value on there action while one night standers would lower themselves for the price of a packet of crisps

Lol.

Anyway yeah I agree. BB dumbed down for a kiddies audience. From bb7 infact.

If you want to act like a little kid then go and audition to be a kids tv presenter.

However people on this forum complain when BB is on at 10pm instead of 9pm.

Personally BB should be on at 10pm. Then it is offically an adult viewing show.

I agree it should be after 10pm. They should also change the BB eye to that of a V sign written accross the words OFCOM. :hugesmile:

When technically possible they should also put it under a "PIN" control to keep as many silly kids from watching as possible..........

That was the series first lowered the standards of BB to the moronic level ..... :eek:was watching a young girl drink herself unconscious on cheap cider at 10am just after getting out of bed on bb1 seen as a paticuarly high standard :conf: (nicola and caroline)
big brother has been like that from day 1 c4 tried to change it and came under so much criticism they said screw it and got rid!

there wasnt any lowering of standards as it progressed infact it was only when they tried to cut out what was deemed unacceptable and had there hand somewhat forced to improve standards by ofcom that the real criticism of c4 started.

being forced into an impossible situation is what forced c4 to ditch it.

Spot on, and the non fans thought bb became rubbish when in fact c4 just slowly killed it, cutting 24/7 live feed, even when the feed was on they would divert to another room/conversation/stock footage during anything deemed slightly controversial! Don't know if a lot of peeps know this but a lot of the housemates including celebs were given sleeping tabs early!:eek:
