Confirmed: BB12 to air in HD + house to be 'biggest in show's history' [merged]

[JohnnyBB]

BIG Brother will be the most hi-tech reality show in telly history when it returns to our screens next month.
The hit show will thrill viewers even more when it airs in high definition for the first time as it re-launches on Channel 5.

And with just weeks to go, your Daily Star Sunday became the only paper to break into the new Big Brother compound where producers are working around the clock to get the show back on air.

We slipped past security to get an inside peek at Britain’s most talked-about house.

Show chiefs have splashed out on 42 new cameras, 60 new monitors and a massive 65 mirrors, meaning you won’t miss a second of the action this summer.

We can also reveal they have set up 14 edit suites where production staff will work 24 hours a day to produce the daily highlights show. A show source revealed: “The team have gone all-out to make sure the show is going to work like clockwork and capture every moment so viewers won’t miss a thing.

“Everything is in place for a great series and the technology being used is amazing.

“Airing the show in HD has meant replacing a lot of equipment but no expense was spared to make sure it was all top notch.

“With all the new cameras and hi-tech edit suites, there’s no doubt Big Brother is now the most advanced show on TV.”

Producers have also installed a sound-proof fence so housemates won’t hear anything from the outside world.

Our source added: “So many times in the past housemates have heard chants from the crowd about who viewers want out, which ruins it.

“But this year they will have no idea what’s going on.”

We can also reveal this year’s house will be the biggest in the show’s history.

Teams of production staff have been working on the building since April and in two weeks the interiors will be complete.

A show insider revealed: “The house was completely gutted and it’s being given a new look. Fans will be really impressed.”

An on-site production village has also been set-up at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire for 150 staff working backstage on the series.

Our insider added: “It’s an area especially for Big Brother staff because they will be working on the show constantly to make sure fans are kept updated on all the dramas.”

Big Brother kicks off next month with a celebrity version followed by a new run of the public series.

Exciting :D

[Jords]

Really sounds promising, but theyre just words so we need to see when it gets going.

[King Gizzard]

Hopefully open space and not just hiding places. Josie would have a field day.

[RichardG]

I'm so excited!
I hope they get to the advertising now though, if they've really spent so much on making the house good and putting in so much expensive equiptment then it would be a shame for it all to be wasted because no one knows it's back on tv. :hugesmile:

[Ryan.]

Sounds really good. Hopefully if they are "investing in the upgrade to HD" then itll show that they are committed. After all, plenty of shows are still made in blur-o-vision.

All we need now is good housemates...

[ILoveTRW]

most hi-tech reality show in telly history

errm TRW has been in HD since Brooklyn in early 2008

[DigitalSid]

If they've only shelled it, it won't be much bigger, the tank is tiny and they don't use all of it.

[CharlieO]

Obviously they are going to say its amazing. I'm waiting until we see how well the producers actually work.

[Vicky.]

Hopefully open space and not just hiding places. Josie would have a field day.

She didnt need hiding places. She had her trusty duvet :bored:

[Vicky.]

Hmmm...or should that be crusty

[JohnnyBB]

now that theyve got a sound proof fence just think of the late night antics and tasks!!

[Vicky.]

Soundproof fence? Surely a fence cant be soundproof

Unless it has a top on it too D:

[Doogle]

I wanted a small house :(

[Glenn.]

Soundproof fence? Surely a fence cant be soundproof

Unless it has a top on it too D:

That's what I was thinking. How the hell do you sound proof a fence?

[DigitalSid]

now that theyve got a sound proof fence just think of the late night antics and tasks!!

You can't really sound proof a fence, as long as the compound is open air, sound will get in and out.

[Vicky.]

Only way it could be soundproof is with a dome thing/roof over it really.

[Jords]

I wouldnt want a top D:

But it would be sooo good if it was soundproof.

[JohnnyBB]

You can't really sound proof a fence, as long as the compound is open air, sound will get in and out.

Maybe they've put a roof on the fence aha :hugesmile:

[DigitalSid]

I wouldnt want a top D:

Good but impossible :p.

[Patrick]

'Fans won't miss A THING! :amazed:'

Yes, well unless there's no live feed you bastards.

[Patrick]

'Fans won't miss A THING! :amazed:'

Yes, well unless there's no live feed you bastards.

[The_Big_Send_Off]

they are probily just saying that for when they get complaints about the th noice tey can say ' listen bitch we have sound proof fences! BAM!' i love bigger house's :D

[Vicky.]

'Fans won't miss A THING! :amazed:'

Yes, well unless there's no live feed you bastards.

yeah, a bit daft saying that if theres not gunna be live footage :joker:

[billy123]

You can buy specialist accoustic fencing proper expensive but works amazing its never going to be 100% but at least they will be able to talk at night in the garden without having to whisper.

[JohnnyBB]

Dose anyone know how many camera's and mirrors there was in previous houses? there saying 65 mirrors and 42 new cameras, thats loads right?

[mkdfan]

I like the sound of the bigger house.
I always thought I would want a smaller house but watching the same few angles for months can get boring.

[Patrick]

Dose anyone know how many camera's and mirrors there was in previous houses? there saying 65 mirrors and 42 new cameras, thats loads right?

42 Cameras isn't that much compared to previous years.

[Zippy]

Soundproof fence? Surely a fence cant be soundproof

Unless it has a top on it too D:

:joker:

or its like 50 foot tall and very thick

[mkdfan]

I thought the last few BBs were in HD.. I guess not lol.

Woo for HD!

[Vanbot]

Well, this is all sounding VERY EXCITING. Obviously they're going to say everything's brilliant, but they're saying all the right things are brilliant, and that's what matters.

[JohnnyBB]

well channel 5 can obv talk the talk, but can they walk the walk!

[I.am.the.invisible.member]

youtube videos are going to look and sound so much better! lets hope channel 5 dont wipe them all off youtube like channel 4 did as i like to recap!

another note as any one seen this ............. http://www.channel5.com/shows/ok-tv-2/clips/big-brother-auditions-behind-the-scenes?clip_page=2#clips

[LaLaLand]

Sounds VERY impressive, especially how they're really focusing on the "no outside world" aspect which C4 were pretty lax with in later years.

Really promising!

It'd be even better if they dissuaded the crowd from acting like morons and interfering in the first place. The most pleasant surprise for this new series would be the crowd behaving themselves.

[CharlieO]

I got the paper and it says

'Marcus Bentley signed up for the show within seconds of being asked and even wants to go into the house'


Please no more of those gimmicks :(

[arista]

Ch5HD
like I said months back.

[BigBroSite]

Check out a photo of the new "high-tech" gallery: http://www.bigbrothersite.co.uk/2011/07/24/most-high-tech-reality-tv-show-ever/

Looks sexy!

Plenty of screens! Fingers crossed for live feed! :)

[CharlieO]

You can see 6 screens in that picture :conf:

[oathbreaker]

It really had become a farce.But this story about a sound proof fence doesnt sound quite right? apparently its 10ft high which was badly needed for years IMO.

If new HM's go in halfway through and start talking like they have its all been for nothing.

[BigBroSite]

You can see 6 screens in that picture :conf:

Are you blind! haha

I count at least 58!

Each testcard is 1 screen. :hugesmile:

[DigitalSid]

42 Cameras isn't that much compared to previous years.

There's usually 30 odd.

[CharlieO]

Are you blind! haha

I count at least 58!

Each testcard is 1 screen. :hugesmile:

No its one screen spit into different sections.

[BigBroSite]

That's still 58 feeds!

I don't get your point haha

It's more than it used to have.

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

I'm very excited now :elephant::dance:

[Marcus.]

i really can wait for it

[Tony1111]

This really sounds like a Back to Basic series I'm hoping the format is tweaked a bit to bring some originality in, I'm really looking forward to it more so than anything this summer.

If Channel 5 can capture the rougher side of the house and keep the booze flowing I'll be happy, I mean a relationship in the house is a give in but I don't want that to be a main focus. If they were to just capture the fun times and hard times into the show it'd be great because the past few were really heavily editted. :)

[Marcus.]

i dont really mind i just can wait

[Bojangles]

Will this forum be open 24 hours do you think or will they close it at midnight like they used to do?
