The house has a basement!!!!

[Lukieee]

Chris Moyles has this morning revealed a few features of this years Big Brother House, most of the details we already know - but a slip of the tongue reveals stairs down to a whole new floor.

Live on BBC Radio 1 he stated: "They wouldn't let me downstairs thoug.. whoops"

Comedy Dave replied: "Downstairs? What a whole new floor" Chris replied swiftly with 'Let's move on'.

But what does the Big Brother basement contain? A punishment room, a second house?

The stairs down to the basement, may be in the form of the spiral staircase we have seen previously, in the leaked photos to The Daily Star.


I was reading BigBlagger and found the above

This sounds pretty cool :D

[Sam]

Wow fantastice, thanks for this

[Sam]

He may have said just a trick though

[Lukieee]

Well im not sure.. as hes going to be hosting BBBM for a few days he may know a little more then other people - im not saying its true just that its a strong posibility.

[Sam]

i know he goes into the house every year but maybe hes winding us up by saying theres a basement, but i think that would be brilliant if there was

[Scarlett.]

It would explain the time it took to re-build this years house
'citing isnt it?

[BeeBee]

Hang on.....

If it is a spiral staircase, that would mean the basement (if there is one) would have been quite deep (As spiral staircases are quite high)....

Or maybe he meant they wouldn't let him downstairs into the main house????


I'm so 'cited now!

[Scarlett.]

maybe the staircase is in that exterior corridor

I'll be back with a pic

[Sam]

I think its true, this is some exciting that we need! Something fresh for BB!

[bighead]

u so know that the target twists down, it is obvious

it would be great, never done before

[Sam]

brilliant idea big head!

[Glenn.]

Sounds interesting

[Sam]

OR it could be like a rug you lift up and underneath is like a slide or a staircase down

[Scarlett.]

a super fun happy slide
(Piccy on the way of secret corridor)

[Sam]

Yeah i love the idea of a slide

[Lukieee]

It is pretty exciting, i guess we will find out in 36 hours :D ""cannot wait""

[Bells]

Thanks for posting this - sounds really interesting! I've never considered what it'd be like to have a basement in the BB house... maybe for tasks and stuff a HM or two can go there, because nobody's aware it's there - do you think it's a replacement for a secret house? I'm not sure if there is one this year. But even if it's not, I can't see all of the HMs being in the basement at any one time, although who knows.

[Scarlett.]

and there is a mosaic design saying "desending" OOOHHH
Im over 'cited

maybe not it could not come into play for weeks

[Sam]

I think it will be revealed durin the course of the secret but it will mentioned on launch night

[Glenn.]

The Big Brother Basement! Oh sounds cool, I hope there is one!:laugh:

Where is it?:puzzled::puzzled:

[Sam]

i think he means it would be good if there was one

[Hugo]

Has anyone got that pic of the spiral stair case from the dailystar so we can see who it is?!!!!!:dance::dance2::spin:

[Hugo]

where it is sorry!!!!!

[bighead]

is he lying, either way it would be hilarious. it would be more secure than a house necxt door because the floor is thicker thgan the walls. i would like it if the floor was reinfortced glass and those downstairs could see upstairs and vice versa, although there may be a problem with skirts if they did that!!!

[Scarlett.]

sorry Glenn I meant if there was one it would be cool :oops:

[Hugo]

has anyone got the plan from the dailystar?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:elephant::cheer:: bouncy:

[Scarlett.]

its probably in the TiBB piccy gallery

[Benji]

wow...a basement...that woudl be cool!

:cheer:

[Scarlett.]

also when the women housemates are walking on the walkway outside the house

[Lukieee]

The image of the spiral stair case is here..

[Scarlett.]

that looks like a corridor.... could my theory be true?

[philmyer92]

erm hate to be the one who says this but it is very unlikely as unless when they first built the house it was built with a basement you can't just create one with out knocking down the whole house digging new, depper foundations. i'm no builder but i think its unlikely.

[Scarlett.]

maybe its in "the third garden" :wink: it looks awfully deep

[philmyer92]

but saying that there wont be any foundations where the garden was and since bb3 had a massive garden about half of the whole compound area its possible they dug really far down there then lied the wooden boxes, which we have seen in prevoius pictures, over the top remembering we saw 3. 2 of them we know have become gardens. still it would have been a huge job but this is possible.

[Scarlett.]

and they have taken a very long time for such a small house

[Sunny_01]

reading plans is not as easy as it looks - it could be that housemates descend into the main house via a spiral staircase, I am sure there would also have been a huge amount of possible plans submitted before the real ones were decided so these could be fakes

[philmyer92]

yer as i said i'm not builder but i imagine it would take a while but i cant see how it would go un-noticed

[Barbie]

that would add a really good idea instead of the house next door

[bighead]

it would be hard but it has taken 8000 man hours to build this thing.

it would be original and it may have something to do with the combination lock theme in the eye

[Scarlett.]

combination lock! that is much better than keyhole I like it!

[The_BB_Detective]

**** a basement fliping hell

[AlexTheGreat]

Hmmm I Hope there is a basement as it does sound a good idea for Punishments and tasks

[The_BB_Detective]

housemates mystrously disapearing but acualy going to the basement and noking on the roof the housemates will get sooo scared

[thebeanboy23]

Now thats very cooool :D
How strange - i was thinking about what it would be like if there was a different floor yesterday! :tongue:

spppoookkkkkyyyyy loool :tongue:

[thebeanboy23]

Hahaa:wink:

[chazwwe]

wow that would be so cool this year is gona rock

[xGemmax]

Sounds exciting! I hope it's true :colour:

[Ruth*Star]

If there is a basement, that would be sooo cool

[J.C.]

This would be a great idea, I hope he wasn't teasing. Quite a few members have pointed out that the house seemed small, and may be this is why...........perhaps there really is a basement ??

[James_15]

thats soooo good.
love it..

[Matt0307]

I doubt there's a basement because i heard the house was built on top of a water tank stage so thats why the house is slightly lifted from the ground

[BeeBee]

Here's a thought.....

Remember last year's opening titles.... There were several images of a passageway with lights on either side and a small staircase at the end of it....

This appeared heavily in the titles, but was never in the series itself.... in fact was it ever explained to us???? What was this mysterious passageway, and where was it?

So I think there COULD be something under the house (beside the water tank????), but that in the 5 years we've had a house on the Elstree site, it's never been used....

What do you think???

Good Point, they might of been waiting for the right time to use it.

but i can remeber reading somewhere that the big rbother house is built upon something, and thats why they have stairs or something...maybe im hallucinateing again...Maybe not!

:laugh3:

If thats the case why did series 5 have a door downstairs?

[Simple_Plan]

wot door downstirs ???

[Lukieee]

This one.. you can see it in the corner of the screen.

[Amy21]

I think this is true as he wouldnt say something like that just for the fun of it. Maybe this basement leads to that second secret garden we know about that I found from 192.com :bigsmile:.

[BeeBee]

That only leads to the inside of the main house....

I think you are confused!!!

[GhettoSuperstar]

I hope this idea is used because it would be fantastic.
But then again I have been watching my grand designs and property ladder and it would be a huge investment hehe.

[Simple_Plan]

the only way ther could be a basement is if it is under part of the old BB3 garden as under the house will be solid concret wont it ??

[Lukieee]

I aint lieing im just passing on the message from bigblagger id post a direct link but you aint allowed.

[Benji]

take a look on elstree studios website, last time i loked it said somehting abotu bgi rbother being built on an old underwater tank or something? i might have to go check, but i think it said it on there.

Hmmmmmm

:colour:

[Juelz]

Citing........

[Arneldo]

I like the idea but i think it would be a lot of work and unlikely. They would have to build camera runs, fit electrical equipment, sounds way to difficult.

[MR.K!]

yeah.. the stairs go up to the door and then back down inside so relly the house is on yhe same level

[Emilee]

OMG! thats gonna be awesome. I cant wait !!

[AlexTheGreat]

Hmmm i dunno how but maybe the secret basement could attaully be aboth ground but made to look like its lower down ?


EDIT:
"Incidentally, the Big Brother house currently stands on the water tank that was used for the film Moby Dick way-back in 1956!"

http://www.freewebs.com/elstreecalling/abriefhistory.htm

Sorry to double post but i found that it is build on a Water tank according to that unofficial elstree website


http://www.elstreefilmstudios.co.uk/

On this site on the picture you can see one of the bb studios
Just thought it was interesting

[philmyer92]

just thinking about it why would tell chris about it i know he is a presentor of bbbm for a few days but they dont even tell divina or dermot anything. i think it was juat a joke and knowing what chris is like that confirms it

[the_chosen_one]

Wow this could be great! Hopefully my 2 house prediction is true!:bigsmile:

[andybigbro]

OoOh This is exciting hopefully its true

[Matt1991]

The house can't have a basement. It's built ontop of a water tank...
