[Jarrod]

Still waiting on a contract announcement for Big Brother... Hopefully they won't leave Big Brother to waste and will focus on it, instead of turning all their attention to this new reality show.

[armand.kay]

Back to the Stone Age :suspect:
I hope is a reality competition show

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Desmond gone ? OMG.

[Samm]

Channel 5 and MTV UK will collaborate on reality entertainment series 10,000 BC, which will have 10 x 60 minute shows on Channel 5 and 5 x 60 minute spinoffs on MTV UK.

What's this

[Marsh.]

:umm2:

[Cal.]

What's this

It's like Utopia but edited like Geordie Shore. I presume they'll be like 14 contestants with an elimination every episode.

[Samm]

Meanwhile, Viacom also announced the first joint commissions between C5 and its pay TV channels, including entertainment series 10,000 BC, which will air on C5 with a spin-off on MTV. It involves 20 volunteers abandoning modern life to go back to the Stone Age.

Sounds good tbh

[Cal.]

Sounds good tbh

20? Hmm.

[pcro]

No more Richard Desmond party:)

Didn't he save BB from the Channel 4 scrap heap. Yah **** him:joker:

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

[billy123]

I have high hopes there goodcwith big brotherI hope so because Dick Desmonds set up was horrid.

[Jamesy]

I guess it depends on a number of factors and where Viacom's priorities are.

They may have no intention of changing Big Brother and leave it as it is. They may poke their noses in and have the whole production take a massive shift, and if they went down that route it depends how soon they do it. I'm not sure how far in advance CBB starts planning so there might be some time to change that although I doubt it. I can see BB16 having the 'new' look and changes under Viacom.

Most of us are assuming Viacom will change Big Brother though. They might do nothing.

[*mazedsalv**]

10,000 BC sounds like Survivor and BB1, just back a few centuries. Sounds interesting. I swear though, if this has a live feed and not BB....

SpongeBob though! :cheer2:

[Jake.]

Interested as to what this will mean for BB, if anything

[Denver]

[Jake.]

Yeah, more MTV adds too

[*mazedsalv**]

Yes, I wonder what will happen for the lead up of January. More promotion on other channels, other papers? I don't know what to expect.

Correct.

I really hope that they change the C5 and BB branding :fc:

[Denver]

I hope after jan they get started straight away and change the house design and them go back to housmates arriving in cars/bikes take away that stupid eye and do interviews in a different rooms so the baying mob cant ruin them

[Jake.]

the thing I'd love most is an exterior change with entrances by cars... I think it would be the main way to make launch nights feel more like an event
