I KNOW I KNOW, it's the Daily Star...but omfg

[Marsh.]

CBB should've just stayed on C4 airing every other January.

[Black Dagger]

I mean another year is a good rest at least. I'd still have given it 5 years off rather than just 3.

C4 can handle it well tbf. They only had a couple of dud series.

Civilian as well tho you bastards.

[Marsh.]

Civilian is dead. Leave it gone. :idc:

[Greg!]

Omfg

[Greg!]

Idc I’m excited!

[Firewire]

I could see civilian on E4 and Celeb on the main channel

[Greg!]

The tag line for the series actually sounds promising and I love how it has a double meaning ugh Channel 4’s minds!

[Black Dagger]

Civilian is dead. Leave it gone. :idc:

**** off you tramp.

[Jake.]

If it’s to come back, CH4 is the best place for it.

[Beastie]

I want a civilian series.

Not a celebrity series where clearly Nikki Grahame is going to appear on it again for the umpteenth time and try and win for the umpteenth time.

Although I wouldn't mind seeing someone like Kinga back in the house.

I will make a compromise.. Big Brother with Z list celebs and civilians.

[Beastie]

Also what happened to Suzanne Shaw?

[Greg!]

I could see civilian on E4 and Celeb on the main channel

Like the sound of this, also E4 is kind of flopping now compared to ITV2 so they could do with a flagship reality show in the summa months

[Greg!]

I doubt Endemol would just let them have the celeb version unless they’re desperate for cash

[T*]

I could see civilian on E4 and Celeb on the main channel

that would be awesome

[Beastie]

It's cheaper to run a civilian series. Although folk like Nikki Grahame will probably go on the show for a tenner :laugh:

It's going to be the likes of ex Love Islanders going on. Boring.

[Beastie]

I will put this out there. Jeff Brazier to host. He will probably do it. He probably won't be a housemate though.

[OLLIE97]

CBB was the only version still pulling in decent figures when it was axed.

[Beastie]

Because Roxanne Pallet pretended she got beaten up?

[Beastie]

Josie Cunnigham will probably go on. We need Z loafers like her then normal everyday people.

[Black Dagger]

I will put this out there. Jeff Brazier to host. He will probably do it. He probably won't be a housemate though.

Stop ****ing trying to make Jeff Brazier happen.

[Denver]

Skin is coming

[Jake.]

Stop ****ing trying to make Jeff Brazier happen.

:joker:

[BBDodge]

Every little helps.

[Beastie]

Stop ****ing trying to make Jeff Brazier happen.

Sam and Mark?

Mel and Sue?

Discussions?

Yes well Sign something.
Fallen Stars to get a big Push...............................
Ch4HD?

[GoldHeart]

This will be a flop :facepalm:, why are they so desperate to bring BB or any type of BB back, just leave it buried.

[BigBrudder]

Celebrity Big Brother was a hit on Ch 5 but ratings got diluted because they double pumped it. Jan 2021 will be two years off and the public will be ready for it. It will decimate the tiring second pump of Love Island and be a trumphant return to its original home far surpassing its ratings on Ch 5!!!

[Brekkie]

After ten years Big Brother is coming home (maybe).

Although I'd much rather have just the civilian series over celeb, and I think any new series really should look to the future when it comes to presenters and format, I think for now a C4 revival of just Celebrity Big Brother, if done just once a year, might be just about right, paving the way for civilian to return in a couple of years. Davina could return for that, and if not Davina I'd be OK with Dermot - but Emma and Rylan are tarred by the C5 brush so need to be kept away from it.


Also glad house wise they'll have to start from scratch - the show has needed a new location since the latter years of the original C4 run.

[Cal.]

It’s what should have been happening for the past 10 years in the first place (just one CBB a year in January).

As above - definitely no Rylan

I’d have Brian ( season 2 winner ?)

Maybe Maya Jama

Should be rested for another 2 years but I won't complain if it returns next year.

[BBQuest]

Hate to break it guys, but apparently Big Blagger's been contacted by Channel 4, who's denied that they're bringing it back, take a look https://twitter.com/bigblagger/status/1223884628894912512

However it's also been noted that Ch4 could just be in the early stages of talks and as such wouldn't be willing to confirm anything, so I don't know, just thought it'd be good to put this out there.

[Jake.]

Yeah, they’d never confirm anything so early on

[Cal.]

She’s coming!

[Epic.]

screaming :joker:

[DanielM787]

Yeah, somehow we all know Channel 4 will confirm nothing until a deal has been agreed, best take this with a pinch of salt, but hope this is true.

[Samm]

feel like it's still to early give it until 2023 at least + C4 airing CBB and E4 airing BB sounds like a good concept, arguably E4 is a rival channel to ITV2 so it would make most sense to try and bring a new summer reality tv show to the channel to combat love island.

[BBDodge]

C4's statement said " “We have no plans to bring back Celebrity Big Brother or Big Brother to Channel 4.”

They do have other channels, though.

[Tony Montana]

Well that settles it then.

[Jake.]

Well that settles it then.

Hardly :laugh:

[Maxxie.]

The 'reborn' thing sounds like a terrible idea, just have a normal cbb with a good cast in January once a year and leave regular BB out there's no demand for it and even cbb might be a bit soon.

Looking back at what c5 did to the show over the years, no wonder its buried in the ground now.

[Jigs]

We just want CBB! Once a year. No big twists, just an incredible dynamic cast with 14-16 celebs similar to CBB15, CBB17 or CBB19.

[Denver]

I was just reading that Endemol have persuaded 6 countries (Aus, Poland, Finland, Sweden, Greece and Portugal) to make a comeback, UK to be a 7th?

[Nicky91]

Germany technically not a whole comeback since they still had the celeb bb, but now just made a return to civilian bb too (because they knew of the 20 yrs since first BB episode)

Under a month to Go
if they (Ch4) are to start a New Series.


It would Go Front Page
Anger
Joy
Happiness

I think we would have heard something if there was a series next month.

[RealManLikeJ]

I think we would have heard something if there was a series next month.

i definitely agree. but, if it is true, that’s amazing honestly (however it’s been a year or so since this thread started and there’s still nothing new)

[Beastie]

Screw the celeb version. I want civilians! Please get rid of Love Island and The Circle and bring BB back with Live Feed. Summer 2022 😉

I prefer Celeb ones to be fair

I always preferred the civilian one.

[_Seth]

Surely the first thing we would have heard would be Ch4 reacquiring the series? But no, this rumour skips that and jumps right in with "next month there will be a CBB."

I couldn't stand the editing and presentation style of BB11 onwards and ditched it by C5, so imagine how cringe the editing will be if it returns again.

[iRyan]

I have no doubt it will be brought back eventually. There's been so many other revivals lately and nostalgia is at an all-time high. I think there will always be an audience for Big Brother, as there will always be an audience for escapism TV.

[crazycolaist]

Still waitin’

[UserSince2005]

remember when people (probably about 14 years old) used to send daily mail clearly fake fan made eyes and they'd print it on the front page as an exclusive. those were the days :joker:
