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.

Garden looks tiny. Wth is an "eye walkway"?

After having my eyes tested last tuesday, by a Harley street specialist who spent over 3 hours testing one eye with all the new equipment on show..like the look at the red dot and press this button when you see a spark of light pop up around it, and the what does that say game, before gently asking you to prop your chin on that for the 9ther eye tests, which involved more chin placements, more button pressing and a lot of funny shaped things that made you look like some sort of wierdo when you caught yourself in the mirror, honest, I nearly shouted look at that paedo out at the shock of seeing myself with a contraption that resembled to milk bottles stuck to me eyes...but no.. sorry, I ain't got a clue what one is.:shrug:

Something the Daily Mail made up. The camera run is behind the eye on the wall which seems to be just a small seating area.

Screaming

More photos... the outdoor set is being built. It looks small, but so did the old one - and this could just be a small exit for the housemates before they're taken off to somewhere else for the proper interview/eviction stuff.

It's also just occurred to me - will housemates be able to see into offices from the garden? The little curved overhang/roof in the garden - right above it are some giant windows into the office section of the building.

If I'm looking at it right, the windows seem to be directly vertically above the garden, so they wouldn't really be able to see in?

Walkway through a small crowd into the stage opposite for eviction interviews would be class

Loads of drone owners now. Won't people be constantly sending their drones over the top of the house and getting footage for social media?

Nice

I can't see how that could be avoided - I don't think you're entitled to "shoot down" intrusive drones?

True. I guess the garden will be being built with this in mind too. It's just weird to see how cramped it all feels from above.

Watched jade goody eviction from bb3 the other day, it's still a series I need to watch, anyway that walkway eye thing it's showing reminds me of the stage walkway they had in that series. I like the look of it all so far

It all looks very cramped...

The late C5 area was also quite cramped - the crowd sizes were small, but angles and cameras made it look bigger on TV.

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.

Great Point
They Use Wide Angle Cameras

The stage looks nice

Have a throwback...

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.

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.

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.

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

I can't believe it's in my area. I'm so excited :amazed:

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?

Nice to see you back

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
