Main Ad airing on Channel 4 during The Simpsons AND! Hollyoaks

[Jarrod]

Channel 4 have just aired the main advert for Big Brother 2012 during The Simpsons ad break!

:amazed: thought this was worth reporting.

[DigitalSid]

Definitely. Thanks.

[Jake.]

Good stuff!

[Sawyer]

So there's still some hope for getting some decent ratings... we just need the to get some on ITV.

We didn't get any for CBB9 till the night before, but there were billboards everywhere then.

[Jake.]

Get it on during Corrie

[Sawyer]

Exactly. I'm pretty shocked they haven't done those considering it's their flagship show that they've just renewed.

[Jarrod]

Unrelated i know but they're featuring Dead Set in their 4OD advert.

[Jarrod]

It's just aired again.

[DigitalSid]

It's just aired again.

Good. What length version is it?

[Jack_]

Good news at last. Now for ITV. I actually think they should target ITV2 as well as ITV1, much more of the target audience will be on there.

[SSL2012]

Fab news, Chn 5 aiming for the key demographic audience obviously.

Whack on a few ad's on Itv between 7 and 10pm and the launch night will get at least 3mil surely.

[Jarrod]

It was the full 1 minute ad. But it didn't display the start date.

[SSL2012]

Lol I bet one or two, will mistake it for being on channel 4.

It will say on Channel 5, so anyone stupid enough to see it in full and still think it's on Channel 4 isn't likely to be able to use a BARB box anyway.

[Patrick]

They should of advertised it during Emma and Brian's interview on ITV earlier.

But this is excellent news.
Hollyoaks and Simpsons - probably Channel 4's two biggest shows, seeing as no one watches the silly channel anymore.

[Black Dagger]

Great news.

Hopefully we'll get an advert on Monday during Emmerdale or something again like for CBB9.

It shows they are caring a little bit.

[Pronshi]

OMG just saw it there now on +1!!!
Was so shocked!!
Said coming soon tho

:rolleyes: Yes, I'm sure they regret binning a show that no one watches anymore.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

It would be great if they showed the ad during corrie on ITV 1.

[iRyan]

Good, but they are dumb for not putting the date

[joeysteele]

Yeah, I agree they would have been wiser to say the actual start date, although this way, it may build up the interest from people as to when it is going to start.

[Black Dagger]

Good, but they are dumb for not putting the date

They aren't allowed to on other channels...

[Patrick]

It's funny because Channel 5's overall viewers have went up, whilst CH4's have went down since 2011.

So yes. Yes they do.

[DigitalSid]

They're not allowed to. It's the condition of advertising on other channels.

Big Brother wouldn't have made an iota of difference for them. I still think they made the right choice in axing it.
Channel 5's ratings have gone up, but that's not saying much. It's still well below the other channels.

[Jordan.]

It just aired during chatty man break

[DigitalSid]

Was on again during Chatty Man just now, Very Important People also spoofed CBB8 earlier.

omg wat? :joker:

[DigitalSid]

omg wat? :joker:

Kerry Katona was kidnapped by pirates and thought she was still in the house and that it was a task.

[Sam:)]

omg wat? :joker:

Well they main focus parodied Kerry Katona, but it was her begging to get public votes and thinking she was on BB when she was kidnapped by Somalian pirates.

[Marsh.]

Kerry Katona was kidnapped by terrorists and thought she was still in the house and that it was a task.

:laugh3:

That was it, pirates, though both terrorise and it was funny either way :laugh:

Anyone else seen it on E4? Also looks like there was an ad during either Big Bang Theory or Made In Chelsea this morning (depending on whether the person who spotted it on twitter, spotted it on Channel 4 or Channel 4+1).
