Big Brother 8. I think they will start it on 25th, reason being as it's Half term the day it starts so then there is a week where it can grab it's audience with May day being the 7th this year, I doubt 10/11th is possible.
I wonder if they'll keep us waiting like they did last year.:sad:

It was because Celebrity X Factor and Love Island started near enough the same time as BB7. Big Brother didn't want to loose it's viewers to them basically.

I know. BB always changes the week it starts per year. If you exclude BB1, BB2, BB3 and BB4 all started on the penultimate week (25th, 24th and 23rd respectively). People thought BB5 would start on 21st (not 22nd because 2004 was a leap year), but it started in the last week of May, and so did BB6 (28th and 27th respectively).
But now, it has gone back to the penultimate week, and a Thursday.

If it's 12 weeks it'll start on 18 May, 11 weeks means a 25 May start. 12 is the most likely, I think.

www.uknova.com It's a torrent site. Every episode of Big Brother is posted there while the series is on air (plus occasional reposts, such as the recent complete run of eFourum from 2004). Membership is always full but if you try now and again, you will eventually get in. I rarely watch BB as it happens. I prefer to d/l episodes and watch them later. Which probably how I ended up with all this *points to big pile of BB DVDs*:tongue:

I keep all of mine on an external hard drive. :) Only about 100 bucks (Uh...50 quid?) for 250 GB, I save all of my videos to it and watch it from there.
Anway, I think it really depends on how long the span of the series is planned to be.

Does anyone know when Desperate Housewives ends? Becuse this could tell us when BB8 starts.
andybigbro
04-04-2007, 10:52 AM
No sorry but would desperate housewives be after big brother anyway
Because Big brother is usually on at 9 and Desperate housewives is at 10

Well, prior to BB7, Big Brother would be on at 10.00pm (except Saturday and Sunday). But in the last week of BB7, it was switched from 9.00pm to 10.00pm, because Channel 4 didn't want to help ITV's Celebrity Love Island with its ratings.
10pm slot is better, so do you know when DH ends?
andybigbro
04-04-2007, 11:15 AM
I think itsa the end of April or in the midst of May
*M*a*TT*H*ew*
04-04-2007, 11:34 AM
I think I now when it ends!
Series 3 aired the same night as CBB5, between 9.30pm and 11.30pm because there was a double-bill. In total, there will be 23 episodes. So, here is the rota so far:
03.01 - Episode 1 and Episode 2
10.01 - Episode 3
17.01 - Episode 4
24.01 - Episode 5
31.01 - Episode 6
07.02 - Episode 7
14.02 - Episode 8
21.02 - Episode 9
28.02 - Episode 10
07.03 - Episode 11
14.03 - Episode 12
21.03 - Episode 13
28.03 - Episode 14
04.04 - Episode 15
11.04 - Episode 16
18.04 - Episode 17
25.04 - Episode 18
01.05 - Episode 19
08.05 - Episode 20
15.05 - Episode 21
22.05 - Episode 22
29.05 - Episode 23
So, Series of Desperate Housewives MIGHT end on 29th May, but the only problem is that the series finale is a 2-hour long episode, so it might start from 9.00pm to 11.00pm. So maybe Channel 4 will squeeze Ep.22 and Ep.23 together.

I have just read this on another forum
"According to an article in NEW magazine the start date is the 25th of May! The article said that the BB8 launch is the 25th. It didn't say maybe or possibly, the actual words were WILL launch on the 25th of May."
Take it as you will.
