No first week of June launch (Confirmed)

[DigitalSid]

BB not in the provisional schedules, finalised schedules out tomorrow, but with BGT finishing on the 8th, I doubt we'll see it turn up in them. Second week looking more likely, my money would be on the 11th, 12th or 13th, most likely the 13th.

EDIT - Finalised schedules confirm it.

[JohnnyBB]

it wouldint be as early as the 6th june weve had no test housemates go in the house, no eye logo things like that i think there still looking for a rask team and senior producer

[Headie]

What's the difference between provisional and finalised?

I'm still hoping for a June 6th, but anything longer than June 13th and I'll be mad.

[fruit_cake]

quite looking forward to this..bring it on

[Marcus.]

ohhhhhhhhh not long to go

Provisionals are listings released while they're still being tweaked, so they're subject to considerable change.

Finalised listings are just that - final - save for unforseeable last minute anomalies such as breaking news or overrunning live shows

[Jack_]

Hope something changes tomorrow when they're finalised, are the slots TBA or filled with other shows?

There's no reason why BB can't launch that week because of BGT, that reason isn't good enough. There's no live shows that week (other than The Voice's first one on Friday, which they would obviously avoid) and with the final on the 8th, all they need to do is ensure Saturday's highlights show is at 10pm, and actually then they could capitalise on BGT's audience who are changing channels.

I'm assuming 'Coma' is a film as it's 195 minutes long? :suspect:

There's something too coincidental about it finishing at 00:15 though, some BOTS on launch/finale/eviction nights have finished at that time. There could be a two hour launch and a 75 minute Bit On The Side.

I shan't hold out any hope though.

[ThisIsNickkk]

It is still possible, but with BGT and everything, I'm not holding my breath.

There still hasn't been a shed load of promo either, and I think is C5 want to draw out the promo and get as many people on board, it'll end up being the week after.

Unlikely - they wouldn't be showing a programme about the moon landings right before Big Brother starts. ;)

[BBDodge]

The 1978 movie Coma would only fill a 2 hour slot so I presume this is the mini-series remake from last year which filled 2 two-hour slots on US commercial TV (160 minutes on the US DVD).

[Vanessa]

I love that movie! :amazed:

[Pronshi]

ah come on LOL!
I bet the 13th of June about 4 weeks ago.
Everyone called unlikely too!

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I'm not amazed that it is looking likely that launch date won't be until the 2nd week of June ....tbh

[Sawyer]

Been saying the 13th for months! No one listens!!

is its really that hard to wait for a date to be announced this is the 3 thread you made on this subject none of them with any useful information please stop

[Vanessa]

I don't mind a late launch. :hugesmile:

[DigitalSid]

The info is useful, it allows discussion and speculation regarding the date to be more focused on more likely dates and allows those planning other things around that period to press ahead or move them if they so wish. Not that it matters whether it is useful, there's ******* all else to discuss at the minute.

[DigitalSid]

No one's said it isn't (I've said all along that it will most likely be after the 10th), they've just speculated about the (until now) possibility that it's not. The 13th has always been the most logical assumption.

So when do you think we will get the official launch date now DS

This is a Big Brother discussion forum, I like to hear this kind of stuff.

[DigitalSid]

If it's any of the dates I mentioned in the OP, we'll know next week.

[Mystic Mock]

BB14 could be like Final Fantasy XIII Versus where we're told that it's coming soon but we'll be waiting until we're 80 for them to happen.

[Mystic Mock]

I will Tregard, thanks for the information.

[Samm]

I want bb to do well this year so it would be better if they missed BGT

[DigitalSid]

Finalised schedules released earlier today confirm it.

[SSL2012]

I'm gunna go for the following thursday. With a promo on BGT finale night.

The problem with a friday launch is that the drop off, on a saturday night would be horrendous.

I also think it will be the highest launch to date, brining in around the 3million mark. Perhaps a 3.1

[Sawyer]

Since I'm not in the process anymore I don't care, the 13th was always their prominent date, which is what I've been saying for weeks. But not I don't care if people know how I know, it will be the 13th.

[Jack_]

Disappointing as there's free space that week and Saturday's highlights show could've capitalised on the BGT final's audience, but oh well.

Hope it is the 13th as Sawyer says, I finish that day.

[Rob!]

Not the news I wanted. :bawling:

[Gstar]

I just hope that CBB has also been pushed back a week

[iRyan]

Ugh! I hate that it's launching so late. I was so ready for an early June launch.
