Looks like the eviction interview stage is by the canal to the left of the house in the main picture.

[Good King Glennceslas]

You reckon they might enter through the garden?

[Glenn-C]

If there's going to be a ground entrance I'll miss the iconic stairs. It looks like they'll exit through the eye and the other studio is where the interview will be. Surely the eviction crowd will be in there and not outside in that little space?

[ComingToGetYou]

Looks to be a relatively small garden but the house itself could be huge.

Ooooh exciting!

[elliebrew]

Just awful. Nothing about any of what they're doing is exciting me. The bespoke, purpose built house is what made BB for me. This is just horrendous. No outside eviction space, no outdoor crown space, no grand stairs for entrance and exit. Just a tiny shoddy balsa wood structure for a garden hanging out of the door of a giant warehouse.

Really not feeling this at all.

yes

definitely


in my nation, everyone who enters the house gets tested few days before and kept in a sort of quarantine hotel


and that includes

* everyone who enters on Day 1
* every late entrant
* evicted hm's who return a week before the final (for secret missions)
* family members who are invited to compete in duo's for a immunity or shopping challenge

I guess it doesn't really matter since they're likely expecting Autumn/Winter weather, so they might not even be outdoors too much. The BB5 garden wasn't huge, but it was great. The house itself could be massive.

They've certainly crammed a lot into that space between the 2 stages.

There's an open door into the back of the stage on the right (Iris 2) so maybe they can use space in there for the interviews and support show, well away from the house built in Iris 1.

Nice. I remember Mel's eviction that year when they had Tom present her with a flower. Mel's then BF was in the audience and probably not amused at the show trying to hype a showmance that never was.

[Stu]

Those shots of the house entrance have got me far more excited than anything else so far. Weird "Is it indoors or outdoors?" vibe, campy futuristic look, walking through a giant metal eye. Just that whole creepy trapped in a TV simulation vibe they got the aesthetic of so right in the Channel 4 years.

Granted it's only breadcrumbs. Please just stick 10-12 relatively ordinary, diverse people in there where at least 50% of them are actually likeable and relatable, don't dick about with it too much, and the good TV will just make itself happen.

[ComingToGetYou]

I like that the housemates will be entering the house through the eye "archway" - an inverse of the C5 era where housemates appeared from the eye and then walked through the crowd and into the house.

Also, I guess it makes up for the fact this is a soundstage and therefore doesn't have a fancy big staircase doorway entrance like the Elstree house did.

[BBDodge]

Cool to see Wembley Stadium in that photo above. It's coming home...Just 5 years of hurt.

But yeah it's weird how close it is to those office windows. Whoever's in those offices will be able to look down at what's going on in the garden, unless they will be closed off while the series is on?

The offices are attached to the studio so I imagine they just won't be in use, or if they're used for something like the gallery or production offices they'll probably just be blacked out.

[BBDodge]

The garden wall is fairly high so may block out the view of the offices. We'll find out in a few weeks.

[UserSince2005]

remember when they were going to move to hammersmith (maybe for BB9) and it was also by a river/canal and they said housemates would arrive by boat.

[madman411]

Good grief it just looks like a miniature set... maybe even a toy house you'd get from Toys"R"Us. The fact the garden is just mere feet away from the set is just strange. They're going to have to blast crowd noise into the house on eviction nights. If the show becomes popular again they're going to have to move to a bigger location. This looks like part of a wendy house. I'm surprised the outdoor set isn't placed on the other side of the stage and just utilise this carpark for a larger garden.

I'm struggling to see how access to the garden is provided. I see two elephant doors (what they call the big load in/out doors on soundstages) but neither seem to provide access. Do the HM's enter the garden through an emergency exit door?

The garden doesn't leave much room in the way for tasks. There's definitely got to be secret rooms/tasks rooms they're adding onto the soundstage set.

[BBDodge]

The sound stage is sound-proofed. They won't hear anything from outside.

That gap between the "elephant door" and the garden/eviction stage will presumably be covered over once the carpenters get busy there.

The garden looks smaller because the Iris stage is way bigger than the old Big Brother houses at Bow and Elstree.

I really hope Launch Night gives us an expansive tour, the way Davina used to. Looking forward to seeing how it all connects, and from a ground level POV.

[ComingToGetYou]

https://bigblagger.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/img_0016-1536x1536.jpg

I wonder if the round "eye archway" door and the way into the garden will be connected to that singular giant soundstage via one "porch"? That way, they can seal off the soundstage for evictions (ie. no noise can "leak" through the garden as it'll be completely sealed off).

Hard to explain but my thinking is the soundstage doorway could have its own shutter, and rolls up to reveal a porch - from inside the house, ahead is then the garden, under the canopy, and to the right would be the main exit door.

[BBDodge]

That sounds about right. There doesn't appear to be anything resembling part of a House interior visible through the open stage door. This will be the first House where housemates sitting in the lounge will not have any daylight coming though doors or windows. They could build that "porch" area so housemates can look out onto the garden without being in it. And the eviction exit will be via that porch and turn right. Evictees can do the usual farewell to the other housemates and then the inner door will be shut (cutting off the crowd noise). The evictee will then wait for the outer door to open so they can emerge into the crowd.

[madman411]

Wonder what the scaffolding by the road/office spaces are going to be.

I would imagine that the gallery/production services/eviction interview/"BBLB" set will be on an opposing stage.

[BBDodge]

There's also scaffolding around the garden, above the camera run, so they haven't finished up there either.

[ComingToGetYou]

Hadn't occurred to me but this could be strange. I hope the house manages to feel somewhat house-ish still, rather than feeling like a set.

Inside a studio stage (apart from the garden which is in the car park). This is at Garden Studios in Park Royal, on the banks of the Grand Union Canal, which is south of Wembley (as you can see from the above drone shot which has the arch of Wembley Stadium in the background.

The whole house and production is to be in the same sound stage.
The sound stage is 4 times the size of the old compound.

Id quite like to see a sodding great big brother eye on the glass windows. They will all be blacked out too.

With those steps right up to where presumably the hosts will stand when presenting and talking to the camera, wonder how long until an audience member decides to try run up the stairs and get a moment of fame. At best there will be a tiny rope to try prevent people trying it - anything else given the design would just look tacky.

I doubt a crowd would be allowed to stand that close, circling the steps, especially if the plan is to walk housemates and hosts up and down. There'll be crowd barriers I suspect.

Looks like the garden and house entrance share the same area now the flats and roof are up. Don't see any wall mounted cameras in the garden (always wanted BBUK to adopt the previous BBAUS method of having all the cameras behind the mirrors).

Still interested how crowds are going to work and what natural light (if any) will go into the house.

Top of Garden it looks like they have moving head lights. Seperate from those in the audience area. So they may be able to special things with the lighting in the garden which makes sense if that's where they are entering/getting evicted from

It bothers me that the housemates can look up at an actual office building stairwell when they're in the garden lol. Really takes away the illusion of being cut off from the outside world.

The natural light thing will be almost zero in places. Smallish eindow/doors into the garden. Thats all.

Yeah, you also get the overriding weirdness of an empty house and camera people being able to go right inside it, giving you a perspective you'll pretty much never see again for the rest of the series run. Hope they keep that traditional though it'd make sense if it was something they used to draw people to their social media channels.

Davina's house tours were always great on launch night. You could feel the rush as she hurried around the house, clearly on a time limit, and then seeing the DR for the first time. Then you could imagine her rushing out of the house during the ad break in time for the first housemate showing up.

[ComingToGetYou]

I really can't wait now. I hope we see house pics today or tomorrow!

With them switching the lights on yesterday, I did wonder if they might've used that opportunity not only to test everything but to take a couple of promotional photos of the staging area. Would be nice to get a small drip feed of stuff now - the outdoor stage, maybe a glimpse of the other studio, and then teases of the house itself.

[BBDodge]

When we get to see the House interior we can count the beds or seats at the dining room table so we know how many housemates to expect.

The msin road outside the house?

[BBDodge]

That eye next to the canal entrance seems to have been moved to the side. I presume the housemates will emerge from it before mounting the podium and entering the house but maybe not from off a boat.

Tierney flags the decision to introduce two ITV-friendly hosts in AJ Odudu and Will Best, along with playing with the design of the iconic house, which has moved from Hertfordshire to London. Tierney describes it as “the best Big Brother UK house ever and potentially one of the best anywhere in the world.”

Some details on the new house, taken from Broadcast ��

The living room will be double height, with a mezzanine floor on another level

Ceilings fitted with skylights to make the house “feel more alive”

One way mirrors are indeed back #BBUK

"The living room will be double height, with a mezzanine floor on another level, meaning residents of the house will be able to look over into the communal space. There is also a brand-new diary room chair."

Good
The Chair is important.

[Ceilings fitted with skylights to make the house “feel more alive”]


That will make a change
but will they see a Drone flying over?

[Stu]

Overly conservative back-in-my-day alert but I don't like the idea of two levels. Everything being on one floor contributed to how claustrophobic it felt back in the day. Makes sense given the rather large depth the current soundstage seems to have though to actually utilise the space.

There only seems to be a thin line of skylights down the middle of the stage. Or are those horizontal lines also skylights?

https://www.televisual.com/wp-content/uploads/2020-12-11-11.29.56-640x360.jpeg

Actually the dark band down the middle may be ventilation and the lighter bands going across are the skylights, which appear to be frosted glass so the housemates will get light but no detail.

[Good King Glennceslas]

Quite excited to see the inside.

[Oliver_W]

Within the warehouse looking building. It's going to be on a soundstage in the studio space rather than an "actual" house.

Unless plans have changed, there’s no house pictures today

[Coldwinter]

It would not surprise me if we get the house pictures tomorrow or Friday, or if they wait until the launch episode on Sunday to show us the house.

[dawa]

I can't wait to see inside - it's pretty cool having something brand new.. but it is a bit weird having the garden connected to the house with a plywood tunnel and not having patio doors or windows!

I think the house will have patio doors leading into the garden.

[Loukas]

I am beginning to think that we wont see house pictures until the day of the show, i hope im wrong! :fc:

[BBDodge]

The exit door will be to he right of the door leading to the garden. 2 corridors side by side. The lounge must be as close to the stage door as they could fit it whilst still maintaining sound-proofing and allowing for the camera runs.

The Diary Room will have to have an alternate exit in case they need to boot someone out.

They can fit a huge task room in the rest of the stage so the task team can be more ambitious in what they come up with.

Hope we get some interior house photos soon so we can see what they've come up with before launch night.

[ComingToGetYou]

In one sense, it would be great if they kept the surprise until Launch - a tour on the night would be a good hook for people.

Even if they do reveal it in advance, though, I hope the DR remains a total secret until weekend.

[Time to Sleigh]

It might be possible that the new big brother house pictures will be shown on tomorrow's this morning as AJ and Will are on, and Alison and Dermot are presenting

[Loukas]

Sounds quite likely honestly! I can see This Morning exclusively having the house photos and giving us the exclusive at the same time as AJ and Will!

[BBDodge]

The House photos will be sent to the press early enough for them to write up their features ready to put online as soon as the embargo ends. If the embargo ends at the time This Morning reveals them then those stories should be all over the internet so fans can pick over the details and join the speculation.

[ComingToGetYou]

HOUSE ALERT!

Your first proper glimpse of the new Big Brother house will be on ITV’s Good Morning Britain tomorrow morning, when Richard Arnold will be touring the garden!

It may not be all you see before the day’s out though… 👁️

Which means the HMs will DEFINITELY be kn hiding by then.

I'm really liking the garden, looks cosy and kind of has an early BB feel to it, there's small touches like the small blue table, etc, that remind me of how things were styled in around the first to fifth series.

[DigitalSid]

No one outside of here cares about garden pictures and the diary room separate from the rest of the house. Really bizarre move not capitalising on the various morning show appearances to release them today. With this, the C5 heavy best bits show, and the tinny theme remix I'm having less confidence in how ITV are handling this by the day.

[Jordan.]

The garden is fine, not much to see really. I think they should have just revealed the entire house today with it being so close now.

One thing we can say about the new house - it does feel like a Big Brother house.

It doesn’t feel like a typical #BBUK house - international vibe is strong; new look for a new era - but if you were worried a house within a studio would lose its edge, you needn’t be!

Argh. We don’t need an “international vibe” - the best bit about BBUK was the unique element to it. Just glad they’re not switching to the north american (now Australian) format.
