Opening line pre-recorded

[DigitalSid]

Looks like it's gonna be a VT like CBB8.

Marcus Bentley ‏@marcusBBbentley

That's pre- titles recorded! I hope you appreciate the passion that I've used to deliver them! #BBUK

[Patrick]

Oh FFS. Is that bastard trying to wind us up now?
'I hope you apperciate the passion I put into them!' No. We won't you dick. That's what we hate.

'THOUSAAAAANDSS CAME, HUNDREDS ALMOST MADE IT. BUT TONIGHT JUST SIXTEEN GO IN! PLUS THREEEEE WILDCARRRDS. WHO GOES IN? YOU DECIDE. BIG BRUVA, IS BACK!'

This has ruined my excitement again. I just want him gone. Gone.

[Sawyer]

I miss Davina's dramatic opening line.

'Viewers, you have fifteen seconds to say goodbye to your summer, Big Brother is coming to get you'
'One house, twelve housemates, and a whole world of pain'
'Hello, I've been expecting you'

Legendary.

To be fair, it's not up to him. And I'd rather he did it than Brian, who would only deliver it wrong.

[Sawyer]

I don't hate the guy, I'm just not a fan of how much he over-emphasizes everything now.

[Josy]

Good ol Marcus

Patrick you get far too worked up about stupid little things, why not just try and chill out a bit otherwise I fear you have about a 99.9% chance of bursting a blood vessel before the launch even begins :laugh:

[emmetmcl]

I like Marcus, dont know why he gets so much abuse.

[Patrick]

I like Marcus, dont know why he gets so much abuse.

So do we. But he's became a parody of himself recently. And suddenly thinks he's the be all and end all of the show and should be involved in every single little aspect with his OTT voice - which is now just annoying.

[Sam:)]

Its better than having Brian jumping up and down in a wooden pose going "OMG BIG BRUV IS TOTES BACK, IM SO EXCITED ARE YOU?" -titles roll-

[DigitalSid]

Actually, it was their idea for him to be involved more, they asked him to do the live voice over stuff just before CBB8, I remember him mentioning it on twitter when he was asked.

[DS.]

I'd prefer to have Marcus introduce the series with his epic voice than Brian reading off autocue (badly).

[Kizzy]

Marcus IS big brother....

Not the nutty hairy one...the geordie one...

[armand.kay]

Tbh I would rather Brian did it.

[Me. I Am Salman]

I'd also rather have Brian doing it.

[Marc]

:laugh: threads being made about the smallest of things, just start the series already

[Jack_]

Oh dear not those awfully produced X Factor rip-off VT's :bored:

As much as Marcus' voice is legendary and synonymous with Big Brother, he isn't Peter Dickson and shouldn't bother trying to imitate him. It works for XF, not BB.

[Marcus.]

6 Hours to go

[Flamingjoe]

Tbh I would rather Brian did it.

This.

[Patrick]

Well said Jack, well said.

[Kizzy]

I could live with it if brian did it, his accent is lovely...

[Marc]

Ew. Not Brian. Never Brian :laugh:

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I'd also rather have Brian doing it.

Me too

[Patrick]

Would be funny if Davina opened the show, and the titles came on - every viewer across the country just exploding with jizz and excitement that she's back.

And then it turned out it was pre-recorded that day, and Brian's still the host.

[Patrick]

Can't beat this sh*t;

If Marcus says something like that, I'd actually be pleased.
Then again that line isn't exactly relevant anymore.. is it? /nolivefeed

It gave me goosebumps when Davina said 'Big brother is coming to get you'. :bawling:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Oh ffs you just know its gonna be a vt of auditionees with 3d graphics explosions and camera shaking to make it look like an earthquake plus Marcus screaming over the top "THOUSANDS APPLIED, ONLY 16 PEOPLE MADE IT...." Etc, etc.

[DigitalSid]

Probably.

[Black Dagger]

Yes he'll probably be OTT and overly ****ing annoying.

Is it something that can ruin the launch? No.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Yes he'll probably be OTT and overly ****ing annoying.

It has ruined episodes for me in the past.

Marcus wont only have the opening line but will also shout over the housemates entrance telling us all about their hobbies, habits, like and dislikes!

[Joe.]

Took away a bit of my excitement -.-

[BBDodge]

At least Brian's not doing it.

Davina had soome cracking good ones over the years.

[BBDodge]

If he was being honest it could be "If you think these are bad you should see the thousands we rejected".

[reece(:]

How they love undermining Brian, Marcus' voice is getting too much these days - he REALLY needs to tone it down and stop hogging the limelight as much as I dislike Brian.

[Jarrod]

As much as i don't want it.. i'm not really bothered.


:amazed: we're gonna have Big Brother on our TV screens again. That's all that's bothering me today!

this makes me miss Davina even more.

like with the door opening suddenly, Davina just said 'ooh the door opened' and i bet if that was Brian we'd get 'OH EM GEE GUYS, the door just opened!!!!! omg omg omg spooky, ooh im scared eeek ahhh' :bored:

Come back davina, we forgive you for deserting us.

yeah because Davina wasnt camp or over the top at all :rolleyes:

[Bigest Brother Fan ever]

she was over the top in a really really good way! I actually used to think davina was really really drunk on every episode, she was that funny. God I love and Miss her, Do you think she will be watching tonight?

[Josiah.]

I miss Davina's dramatic opening line.

'Viewers, you have fifteen seconds to say goodbye to your summer, Big Brother is coming to get you'
'One house, twelve housemates, and a whole world of pain'
'Hello, I've been expecting you'

Legendary.

Me too. I like Davina's opening lines.

CBB3: '18 days, 8 housemates, in that house. Let the evil commence!'
BB9: 'Do you know what? Britain's not got talent.'
BB6: 'You didn't think Big Brother would ever be nice. Did you?'

[Marsh.]

So do we. But he's became a parody of himself recently. And suddenly thinks he's the be all and end all of the show and should be involved in every single little aspect with his OTT voice - which is now just annoying.

You make it sound like Marcus has the final say on what parts he voices and what he doesn't. They've obviously asked him to record this opening montage.

[joe199998293]

Ilove it when marcus does the Talking at the Beggining.

[Jordan.]

This is gonna be spot on :joker:

[Doogle]

I'd rather Marcus did it than Brian.
