Arrgh! Wish it was more around June time.

btw, that means only 2 weeks until we see the new logo, as the website will have its holding page up although I doubt the wholecomplete website will be veiwable. Last year we had to wait right up until the launch to see the website.

Thanks for this! :hugesmile:

Like any of them shows - X-Factor and Britain's Got Talent - they seem to suck after a couple of weeks, so Big Brother hasn't got anything to worry about.

They are a bit forthcoming with info this year aren't they? It's normally top secret.

I think the email posted in the first post is fake. I emailed Channel 4 yesterday and got this reply today:



Thank you for contacting Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries regarding BIG BROTHER.

We have no dates scheduled for the new series, however the series usually starts around the start of the summer towards the end of May, we will heavily advertise the programme prior to its launch. Please keep an eye on the TV listings for further information.

Well i got this reply today

Dear Danny,

Thank you for contacting Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries regarding BIG BROTHER 9.

Unfortunately, we have no scheduled dates for this programme as we can only
confirm dates up to two weeks in advance. In recent years, the programme has
started at the end of May. As the programme is made for us by an outside
production company, we don't receive information on what the show will be
like this year. Any information that is available will be posted on the BIG
BROTHER website in the coming weeks.

The website address is:

www.channel4.com/bigbrother

Thank you for taking the time to contact us here at Channel 4, we hope you
continue to enjoy our programming.

Redmond

Yeah it looks as if the original email is fake. I did think it was a bit strange, Channel 4 aren't usually that forthcoming with information regarding Big Brother. :tongue:

BBDodge
19-04-2008, 03:22 PM
All those e-mails say is that it's not starting in the next 2 weeks.

Barbie
19-04-2008, 03:50 PM
I dont think that it is true... it is never revealed when it is going to start and i doubt BB would be stupid enough to launch earlier right in BGT's path.. the later launch has far more logic but an earlier one is outrageous

19-04-2008, 04:26 PM
I e-mailed channel 4 with your message asking to verify it's authenticity and they said this:
