[Cal.]

When’s the house going

[Jack_]

okay ngl I lowkey screamed

It was a total waste anyway so a fitting end

If this happens to the original structure though :(

[Glenn.]

Lmao tear it down and burn it

[Babayaro.]

Lmao tear it down and burn it

Nnnn

[Marsh.]

That aint the extension, it's the studio. :hee:

BAMN!

[GoldHeart]

:joker: Don't bring it back

[Gstar]

BB fans finally getting a whole new layout for the summer?

[Jarrod]

When’s the house going

Soon enough, they're starting with the extensions.

[Glenn.]

Maybe once it’s gone people will just move on

[Marsh.]

:clap1: I bet Rylan's glad he has that parking space now.

[Jarrod]

Maybe once it’s gone people will just move on

I doubt it, even with pictures like this people are still denying the house is being ripped down.

[Marsh.]

When did they have the lease for the house until (before it was axed obviously)?

[Glenn.]

I thought they extended it to a couple of years?

[Marsh.]

So they haven't been forced to take it down then as they still have the lease for the land?

So, either a) They've decided to rip the house down anyway or b) They've decided to end the lease and therefore need to dismantle everything.

Either way, it isn't looking good for those supposed "discussions" some people still say they're having. :fan: Obviously not going very well.

[Jack_]

Yeah I don't understand what the point in applying for a three year extension was (as opposed to a one year originally) if they were just gonna demolish it anyway

[Greg!]

I'm going to be sad when they tear down the actual house. All the TV history and legendary moments that happened in that building :(

Having said that if it ever comes back they need a new location

So, when they got their three year extension it was to retain the Big Brother House for a further three years - but without a production and no Big Brother in the foreseeable, Elstree are wanting the space back, which is completely fair enough. Most likely going to allow The Crown to extend their production and sets, considering it's already right behind where Big Brother is now.

Talks are happening with Netflix, or have happened and are being thought on, and I know that a move for Big Brother was already on the cards if the show actually got renewed anyway. The house at Elstree was completely unfit for purpose, being inside there and in the camera runs it was basically help up by tape at this point. It was damp, cold and was just patched up everywhere, bit of a nightmare overall. It's also basically costing more to keep the house up than it is to get rid of it.

If Big Brother does come back, don't expect to see a purpose built house like this. We're most likely going to be getting a Love Island style set up or a Big Brother Canada "house in a warehouse" feel, which is cheap and easy to produce, without hefty maintenance costs.

[Marsh.]

Why would they extend for three years if they wanted to move location even if channel 5 renewed? :suspect:

[reece(:]

A mess that they can spend thousands/millions revamping the interior but can't improve the camera runs to be less of a stable.

[Jarrod]

Why would they extend for three years if they wanted to move location even if channel 5 renewed? :suspect:

It was on the cards to move. A renewal really doesn’t mean much at all. It just gave them the choice to stay if they wanted too

[zrc]

They've been removing the house since the last series ended. Its old news. Just like the show.

[Glenn-C]

Then what are you doing on a forum about the show :joker:

Breaks my heart to see this.. Nearly 2 decades of TV history bulldozed.

That is quite sad tbf

[Wizard.]

Not the place where David died :(

[Ant.]

:clap1: I bet Rylan's glad he has that parking space now.

I think there was enough space in the studio for production to park their cars on BB19 eviction nights

[Glenn.]

Flatten it!!!!!

[Cal.]

R. Eye. P

[Withano]

Kinda poetic that the bb house now looks how channel 5 made it feel

[Jarrod]

I think there was enough space in the studio for production to park their cars on BB19 eviction nights

Lol they barely had space to walk let alone park a car

[Marsh.]

HEARTBREAKING IMAGE

:laugh2:

[Marsh.]

But, what you called the demolition of the extension was actually the studio, and the demolition of the "house" is the extension. The original "house" hasn't gone just yet.

[Marsh.]

Lol they barely had space to walk let alone park a car

I think it was a very good joke about the lack of crowd tbh. :joker:

[Jordan.]

If those images are from the same angle (which I think they are) then half the house including the entrance has gone

[Marsh.]

It's still mainly the extension that's been demolished! :oh:

[Marsh.]

Can we get a clip of Rylan's dressing room being cleaned out next? :amazed:

[Greg!]

I'm shook I can't believe it's going

[Greg!]

All the MOMENTS that took place in that building though :(

[reece(:]

Heartbreaking image :skull:

The dramatics

[Greg!]

Yeah and it's not even fully demolished! Misleading title Ellie bbz!

[elliebrew]

if you were any type of real fan of the show then this image is heartbreaking. Ive watched it for near on two decades, over 40 series from that building. Ive grown up with the show watching that house, obsessing over how they were gonna change it year on out. So yes to see it like this is really really sad to me

Im sorry to see that its still trendy to be negative and cynical

[Babayaro.]

I am sure you will get over it.

[zrc]

Well reading back the last few dozen comments was most illuminating.

If the show ever does end up returning. They can just stick it somewhere else. This isn't the original place of BB anyway.

[Marsh.]

This isn't the original place of BB anyway.

Exactly.

The REAL heartbreaking image.

Me and Cal are the two leaves at the front like ‘hiya’

[Firewire]

Also not even remotely funny?

[Firewire]

Anyway it's sad because it was a place of work for me for three months, there's such an immense sense of history in the camera runs :(

[Ant.]

They didn't remove Victoria's corpse?

[Firewire]

No she’s still there :(

It made Cal laugh because it was an inside joke :)

[Glenn-C]

Poor Vic lost to the rubble forever

[zrc]

Wonder if they removed the time capsule they buried during Nadia's year [emoji14]

[Cal.]

He was saying that at Tom chick because he posted something that wasn’t funny and then deleted it

[Calderyon]

Looks nice.

Nice little teardown yard.

[armand.kay]

are they not gonna look for Vicky first? they're really just gonna collapse a whole house onto her

[BBDodge]

The house needed rebuilding.

Unfortunately there's no money to do that or to produce another series or a broadcast deal to show it.

say never never :hee: Big Brother needs a new location for sure, and a hiatus too for a few years (these years is good to think where to go to, what new ideas to come up with)


here in my country dancing with the stars for example was axed 10 years ago and now it is being revived :D


lots of changes here for our RTL4 vs SBS6 battle of viewer ratings

[Firewire]

My one regret now is that I never went to an eviction

Perfect filming location for a Dead Set sequel now though

[Jarrod]

Sad to think that I was stood in that house and knocked over the living room plant twice in 5 minutes last August and now it's like that.

[UserSince2005]

Well done Elliebrew at tricking everyone. But you ain’t never gonna trick me. That’s why I’m the king of the forum.

I do however apologise to my commoners for not loging on faster to warn you of these nasty tricks he likes to play

[elliebrew]

uhm....k

[BBDodge]

:(

My one regret now is that I never went to an eviction

And me too.

[UserSince2005]

It so obviously fake, just look at the images in detail.

[UserSince2005]

Plus from an civil engineering stand point they can’t even demobilise the building like that without causing masive health and safety issues, the whole building would be about to collapse on any poor worker that was underneath it.

[BBDodge]

It's a studio set. I doubt there's much bricks and mortar in it.

[Jarrod]

It so obviously fake, just look at the images in detail.

I hate to be that one, but they're not fake. They're genuine images and this is 100% what the house looks like currently, plus the images come from bbspy/Big Blagger.

The entire house was made out of wood/metal. They're taking it apart pretty rapidly. I've been in there more than once over the last three years and it was falling apart even then. It was completely unfit for purpose.

[Marsh.]

HEARTBREAKING images. :(

[elliebrew]

Almost all gone

So many memories in that pile of rubble

[Calderyon]

Garden and the living room areas still pretty intact. Indoors is probably another story.

[armand.kay]

this look is a bit... severe, whats the theme this year??

[Cal.]

JALE, put some water back in pool!

[Calderyon]

Post apocalyptic. Or dystopian.

Fall Out style is my guess.

[Glenn-C]

Mess the pool is looking very bleak this year. I wouldn't swim in that

[kingston]

Devastating seeing the house in this state... However this house was never intended to be a permanent structure... So I can assume with all the issues they’ve had over the years coupled with what may be an extended hiatus it just wasn’t worth the hassle of leaving it standing...

That said with nearly 20 years of technological advances a show like BB can pretty much be filmed anywhere... So I don’t think this is as much of a setback if at all... I mean just look at how quickly BBCAN has been able to relocate between series... Even from a cost perspective... If it was really that much of a expense how is it that on a shoe string budget BBCAN has constructed three different houses in six series???

[elliebrew]

I understand some people may not be too arsed about this but I cant help feeling so sad looking at those images.

Back to Basics is and always will be a figment of delusional fans imaginations... After nearly 20 years a fresh start is impossible... There can only be improvements moving forward... Given the fact that BB outgrew the space at Elstree years ago the current situation is an improvement...
