Has Autumn BB worked?

[alex_front]

I know channel 5 were keen to capitalise on Celeb BB by having BB straight after, but do you think it's worked at this time of year.

It may not seem like a big deal when the show takes place, but there are no students or certain types of professionals this year (as its now term time) whereas before students could skim a week or two and ride out the summer. Whereas this is Autumn, people starting jobs, studying, returning to work etc. The previous 2 series has seen Oxford graduates etc.

I prefer having it on this time of year actually cos I usually miss the last couple of weeks when it's on during the summer

..in the early one's, which were shorter, I was always on holiday for the final.......drove my family mad, trying to find an English bar that was screening it.........I hate people who head for the English bars when they're on holiday..........

No, theres too much TV throughout the week and because its on every day there isn't really the time to Sky+ it and catch up with it

Friday was the first full show I've watched this year and not watched since then. To properly get into it you need to watch it most nights

I actually like it during the Autumn. Autumn and winter always seem more fitting for strategy games, I don't know why.
