Ofcoms days and power are numbered.

As more transmitting stations self regulate and society becomes more relaxed in its general attitudes to swearing etc, they will have find themselves under increasing pressure to validate their own existance.

I noticed Brian Dowling's eulogy was hauntingly similar to the BBLB Bob Righter riddle....

That's pretty much it. Mary Whitehouse lives on under the guise of Ofcom. *Shudders*

it wont be

It's a cheap format, all they have to do is pay for music rights, food and utilities. Big Brother is the least expensive show to produce and it also brings in good ratings, not just in England but world wide. That's why Big Brother is GLOBAL.

Big Brother will undoubtedly return very soon. I think they'll probably take off this upcoming 2011 year, though and bring it back on C5 for 2012.

Why don't Channel 5 mix it up and instead of doing it in England, go and do the show in a huge logging cabin somewhere where it is snowing, make it different lol...

I would like to believe that belief........Sadly I think you are a million miles off beam with such a hope.......Ofcom will have more and more control over what we are allowed. Religious addicted Governments will make sure of that......The spirit of Mary whitehouse lives on and will continue to haunt the principles of free choice........

CH5 might well make an attempt at BB. However i believe such an attempt is doomed to failure......CH5 don't have a sister channel for airing long hours of live feed........Vital for BB to remain interesting........Probably wont have BBLB or BBBM or if they do the formats will be mutilated.......Probable won't have Davina as I don't think she would risk her reputation as a BB presenter with CH5 and its limited ability to broadcast long hours of the show......

BB without the traditional face and personality of Davina and Marcus cannot have the same appeal........CH5 is more likely to deplete BB's popularity and as such no other broadcaster including CH4 would touch it ever again.......

So what are FIVER and FIVEUSA?

Bearing in mind fiveusa actually kicks over to supercasino(uk) for a few hours overnight. In fact lets look at Saturday night on FiveUSA: US pap shows till 1AM then Supercasino till 4AM then the jewellery channel at 6AM sunday morning, reverting to USA shows at midday sunday.

FIVER simply kicks over to Teleshopping when they have nothing on. The owners simply have to compare the revenue received for rebro of teleshopping cahnnels against revenue from BB phonelines etc. (no competition if its done properly).

Channel 5 has the same ability to transmit the show with roughly the same hours as Channel 4/E4 did.

oh there you are shawson. i almost had a panic attack i felt so lonely , you just dissipated into cyber space :(

Sorry mate am off to bed in a moment. Only got about 5 hours till satanspawn wakes and starts another day of driving to drive me to an early grave.

awww ok then sleep well, hope we can chat again x

Thanks,you too. No doubt we will soon LMAO, Take Care.

Actually after thinking about it

I think it actually does mean something :| BB had more well known catchphrases then that..yet they chose that one. :laugh:

When they said that I said "Maybe that may mean something about the Channel 5 thing" ... Hopefully :D

I was expecting some sort of hint or confirmation of a C5 move, I was half expecting it to cut to the Grave at the end and we'd see a hand pop up or something.

Considering the strength and frequency of the C5 rumours and confirmations of talks I'd say it's probably gonna happen, with the new owner's footing in the printed media it'd be foolish not to take on BB as they could easily bring BB back to the forefront again if they manage to relaunch C5 successfully.

the show is dead. never bring it back.
