[Greg!]

Why is it on at 10 every night what the ****

[Jack_]

Evictions are at 10? :skull:

Oh dear

[Greg!]

What a way to treat your most popular show. Hope 5 axes it and another channel picks it up in a few years

[Elliot]

Channel 4 to buy it back

[RileyH]

NOT 10pm

[Oaker]

Why is Tuesday randomly 15 minutes longer lol

[Elliot]

Gotta make room to plug their other hit shows at the 9pm slot like undercover girlfriend and one of the 100 benefit shows they air

[Ross.]

Why is Tuesday randomly 15 minutes longer lol

It doesn’t start until 10:15 :skull:

[Oaker]

It doesn’t start until 10:15 :skull:

Wait I didn't see that wtf :skull:

[supertv247]

It doesn’t start until 10:15 :skull:

lol yeah, they’re continuing to start their prime time shows at :15 to avoid bake off it seems

[BBUK-Fan]

Starting at 10pm is a reason it flopped last year

[supertv247]

Tbh I’m not fussed about 10pm (it’s been that most of its life, and in 2016 the 10pm shows excelled compared to the 9pm ones. 2017 not so much) BUT not for Friday’s. They’re already bad because the audience isn’t there (hence why they’ve dropped saturdays) so putting it later is just making it worse! So stupid

just realised actually, it usually airs in summer but now it’s not so maybe 10pm is even more stupid on school nights :skull: welp

[JoshBB]

Wtf???? Why no show on Saturday?????????????????????????

[Jack_]

I actually prefer 10pm for the highlights (though concede it's not good for ratings) cause they can get away with more

But no way should evictions be that late, none of them will be live and that's tragic

[Denver]

What a way to treat your most popular show. Hope 5 axes it and another channel picks it up in a few years

Imagine thinking any network would want it

[Cal.]

AKA the ratings are in a better place than we want so let’s kill it

[Cal.]

WAIT forget my fumes it’s always been on at 10 hasn’t it

[thisisdanny]

I'm pretty sure every civilian series on C5 has aired at 10 on weeknights?

The only change is Friday is 10 instead of 9, and Sundays are 90 minutes due to no saturday episodes.

[supertv247]

WAIT forget my fumes it’s always been on at 10 hasn’t it

Yeah but not on Fridays :fist: they used to be 8:30pm on Channel 4 then 9pm on Channel 5

[Morgan.]

Super, I know you can't say too much, but will there be something on a Saturday? And will it be televised or one of the silly app-exclusives?

[Greg!]

Idg why Sundays are 9-10:30 and Fridays are 10-11:30. Surely it would make more sense if they did it the other way round?

[supertv247]

Super, I know you can't say too much, but will there be something on a Saturday? And will it be televised or one of the silly app-exclusives?

There’s nothing on saturdays. There were plans floating around but nothing’s come about

[JoshBB]

What an absolute mess tbh. To give us the impression that there's going to be a big turnaround and they actually care for the show again, then to go and do this ****. Big Brother can't even call itself a 24/7 show when pretty much nothing is live, not even the eviction.

[thisisdanny]

Friday's aren't school nights, Sundays are :hee:

The difference is Endemol are doing the turnaround and caring for the show. Channel 5 aren’t, but they’re doing the scheduling

[Greg!]

Friday's aren't school nights, Sundays are :hee:

Oh yeah lmao oops. But still it should be on at 9 every night! ESPECIALLY evictions!

[JoshBB]

The difference is Endemol are doing the turnaround and caring for the show. Channel 5 aren’t, but they’re doing the scheduling

In that case, I hope Endemol do end the contract with C5 and find a channel that will respect the format and give it a chance to succeed. Ofc, we'd all love for Channel 4 to take it back, but that probably won't happen. I would honestly be fine with ITVBe/MTV taking the show providing they gave Endemol control over it, and didn't try to make it the cliche reality show C5 tried to make it.

[annabelindabee]

10:00 is the time to shows car crash tv and shows that are not that popular

[Jack_]

There’s nothing on saturdays. There were plans floating around but nothing’s come about

So the 'there's a reason for this' doesn't exist anymore?

[supertv247]

So the 'there's a reason for this' doesn't exist anymore?

Ehm, maybe, but the reason has nothing to do with Saturdays

[Headie]

They should just axe civilian BB looool they clearly couldn't care less about it

[Headie]

What's on in the 9pm slots?

[supertv247]

What's on in the 9pm slots?

Something about Korea on the Friday

[annabelindabee]

Something about Korea on the Friday

what pushing BB back for a crap documentary about a country few care about...

[Jake.]

Wednesday 19th of September has been scheduled as “Big Brother: Blood Money”

[JoshBB]

From that name, sounds like an eviction/nom twist where getting someone out will get the person $$

[Denver]

Not a family twist

[Jarrod]

Don't be so quick to jump on this. Big Brother has been at 10pm for most of its run regardless, the only change is evictions now being at 10pm.

[Maxxie.]

Interesting that they're doing no saturday show, maybe they should have an equivalent of the weekly hot list on saturday instead

[Babayaro.]

Dog's dinner.

[Nicky91]

The difference is Endemol are doing the turnaround and caring for the show. Channel 5 aren’t, but they’re doing the scheduling

trust our good ol John De Mol to care for the show :flutter:

[Headie]

Don't be so quick to jump on this. Big Brother has been at 10pm for most of its run regardless, the only change is evictions now being at 10pm.

Someone pointed out tho that it was always at 10pm during the summer when people didn’t have to get up the next morning. Now it’s gonna be finishing at 11pm when everyone’s back at school/college/uni/work

[Rob!]

Don't be so quick to jump on this. Big Brother has been at 10pm for most of its run regardless, the only change is evictions now being at 10pm.

And the fact that there’s no live feed whatsoever (like BB12) no highlights on a Saturday which means that two days a week are going to be squashed down to fit the format.

[Vanessa]

Live Launch - Friday 14th 9-11pm
Saturdays - NO Big Brother

Sun - 9:00-10:30pm
Mon - 10:00-11:00pm followed by 1 hour BOTS
Tues - 10:15-11:15pm followed by 1 hour BOTS
Wed - 10:00-11:00pm followed by 1 hour BOTS
Thur - 10:00-11:00pm followed by 1 hour BOTS
Frid - 10:00-11:30pm (live) followed by 45 minutes BOTS

No live feed at all on TV...10 pm, urgh. Too late for me :fist:

[thisisdanny]

And the fact that there’s no live feed whatsoever (like BB12) no highlights on a Saturday which means that two days a week are going to be squashed down to fit the format.

BB8 did this tbf, though they still had an hour on Sunday for both days rather than 90 minutes.

[Headie]

BB8 did this tbf, though they still had an hour on Sunday for both days rather than 90 minutes.

They had Live Feed, DR Uncut, On The Couch, Big Mouth and BBLB to fill the void though. And they often started straight from Friday's eviction meaning most of the stuff that happened during the day on Fridays was cut </3

[supertv247]

UPDATE: This schedule has now been confirmed by Channel 5, but Sundays are 10:00pm - 11:30pm, so 10pm every night it's on

[Ross.]

Mess

[annabelindabee]

less and less each year... it really feels like this might be the last year..

well it will stop me from aplying next year and facing more obsession followed by depression when nothing happens

when shows like this are on at 10... its clear they are tring to take if offline altogether

[thisisdanny]

UPDATE: This schedule has now been confirmed by Channel 5, but Sundays are 10:00pm - 11:30pm, so 10pm every night it's on

At least it's consistent I suppose.

Even Tuesdays? Cos that was supposed to be 10:15 i'm sure

[annabelindabee]

I feel worse for Bbots though as that 11-12... people will be too triers to watch that

[Elliot]

Good hope bots gets cancelled so we don’t have to see Rylan again

[Denver]

I feel worse for Bbots though as that 11-12... people will be too triers to watch that

Like BOTS starts at 11 no matter what series but what do I know?

[supertv247]

Yeah Tuesdays still 10:15 cause bake off

[pontyboi]

Wednesday 19th of September has been scheduled as “Big Brother: Blood Money”

Eeewwwww!

This sounds like a desperate cash twist before the shows even started so much for them returning to the old format which has saved this series of CBB!

There is no reason to put this show on at 10pm other than the channel not wanting it to succeed..FACT.

Endemol need to give it to someone else this is such a pisstake.

[Denver]

You do understand that had been the time slot for a very long time?

It's been on at 10 throughout it's whole C5 life

LOL

[Headie]

Good hope bots gets cancelled so we don’t have to see Rylan again

I mean the whole show's getting cancelled altogether so I don't think you have to worry about that to be quite honest!

Imagine thinking people with jobs and classes to go to are gonna stay up til 11/11.30 every night to watch a dying show :joker: Let alone BOTS being on for an hour after :joker::joker:

[pontyboi]

You do understand that had been the time slot for a very long time?

You do realise that this series of civilian BB is airing from September to November and not in the summer where a younger audience are not in school or college and therefor the ratings will be below that of a summer series.

Also evictions should always air at 9 till 10:30 and for them to schedule the Sunday show as a 90 minute highlights that finishes at 11:30pm is ridiculous.

Are you actually saying this schedule is anything other than crap and suggesting they have an alternative show which is going to air nightly in primetime which will garner more ratings?

Thank god the new ratings system kicks in in September.

Tbf recent Channel 5 series have been start of June to end of July.

School holidays start no earlier than 20th July.

[Headie]

I think Sunday 10pm-11.30pm is single-handedly the worst scheduling I've ever seen on TV :o

[annabelindabee]

Like BOTS starts at 11 no matter what series but what do I know?

OH yes... that's why I keep getting to sleep after 1 am.. cause bots is 11-12 then I spend 90 mins watching Easterners and family guy

Actually 10 is best for me as I usallay get work between 6-10... and I find the one hour gap between cbb and bbots so wired.. they should be together! not spaced out...

[BigBrudder]

Ok Im from the US, so you guys can educate me if im wrong, but it seems to me as if in the uk most hit/high profile programming is scheduled at 9 at the latest, ends by ten, and that 10 pm shows are usually weaker . Could this all-at-ten move on the part of 5 be to avoid clashes with shows that are stronger? For example, maybe they want to avoid clashing with x factor and other big shows on sundays. The competition during summer is markedly weaker so given its a fall series avoiding stonger competition could be a good move. Certainly the audience share percentage, which is a key ratings measurement along with total viewers, will be higher for them in the 10pm slot. Avoiding competition has already paid off when they did it to avoid love island this year as CBB ratings have been growing throughout the series, and are significantly stronger than last years.

Plus, its also nice that BB is consistently on at the same time every night rather than being bounced around as ive seen them do in the past.

I agree Ch 5 have a lot to be desired but i dont think they are actively trying to sabotage the show success with this scheduling as some have suggested.

I agree here actually, a later Sunday show would avoid X Factor. At the minute it's only 8-9 on Sundays though but further into the series the episodes will be longer. 10 isn't too bad imo as it's always been 10 for civilian. I just don't like how evictions won't be entirely live

[Headie]

Is Blood Money a live show or just the events from the house on Tuesday?

[supertv247]

Is Blood Money a live show or just the events from the house on Tuesday?

Happens on Tuesday and airs on Wednesday

[Beastie]

Is it blood money tonight? Are we getting a new housemate?

[thisisdanny]

Is it blood money tonight? Are we getting a new housemate?

Happening in the house today but will air tomorrow but no new housemate
