When do the countdown ads start?

[Mister-Darko]

What number did they start on last year? I can't remember.

[max]

with about two weeks to go.

[Annie]

All the dates are messed up this year. I think they will be on in a couple of weeks.

[30stone]

[Matt]

All recent countdowns have started at 10 days.

I loved the countdown for BB6!

[John.]

i think they should start at 4 weeks! it would totally build excitement!

there are 5 stages of adverts though... (i think)

1. flashes
2. longer flashes (with BB coming soon)
3. house advert & E4 coverage
4. countdown
5. ?(there usually is another type of advert here, right?)

BB Starts!

[Fat.Rat]

for bb7 we had

eye flashes
2 kit kat ads, i think it was 2, 1 with an old man and 1 with the ex housemates.
2 e4 coverage ads, 1 with marcus, and 1 with russel and dermot.
countdown ads, with the sexy womans voice.
house ad, which i think was the best yet.

such a good build up to a series ever!! lol

in all fairness the graphics for bb9 where brilliant

[Conor]

Although they were presented well, the BB8 & 9 adds were shite. - They werent funny and they wouldn't make someone new want to watch.

BB3 had the funny Avid Mirrian ads and the Housemate previews with Adele and stuff.

BB4 had the massive eyes on the beach and the castle and pained onto the mountain and other famous landmarks. I think BB4 started countdown ads too.

BB5 did the black Friday campaign and introduced us properly to house ads and eye flashes.

BB6 had the animal ads and the black boxes ads as well as the most amazingly presented, shizz campaign ever!

BB7 had the funny Dermot/Russell and golden ticket ads.

And BB:CH had another completely original advertising campaign - and it rubbed of well on me, one of my fav BB ads campaigns to date.

I hope the BB10 advertising dept have looked at all these genius ad campaigns.
