They appear to be enjoying
the boost talk for ITV2

The only really important part of live feed was seeing the "less dramatic" parts that didn't warrant including in the main show, but still offered insight into the contestants. I think rather than a live feed, they could offer up online clips of "seemingly boring" conversation etc.

Yeah I think those expecting it to 'return to its roots' under ITV will be disappointed. The nature of viewing television has changed so much and its been so long since BB was at its peak. The other problem with live feed is that people don't really watch TV much live any more. If you're someone who catches up on episodes the next day or watches a few in a row then you're unlikely to tune in to a live feed where house events are say 36 hours ahead of the last episode you watched.

surely live feed can be on Youtube?

I was watching a waterhole in the Namibian desert today for ages

Itv are scrapping itv hub and replacing it with itvx some of its free and some paid for I bet live feed would be for the pay part of it

Rylan in the past time for new presenters

I heard about this , are they just going to go through every channel that will have them?. First c4 then c5 now itv2. I don't have high hopes for this.

Well the format doesn't belong to any one broadcaster so they are free to shop it around. ITV have more dosh than C5 so it's not like their business is heavily dependent on the show getting their highest ratings.

Yes I think they should do it like Australia did
in a Big Block building.
Each Floor a Level
and secret Room, hidden.



It was on E4HD and online.

It's not the practicalities of streaming itself, rather the fact that it would have to be constantly monitored and moderated on a delay, which means probably at least two staff at all times when streaming.

Well Banijay/Endemol Shine/initial have a clean slate as far as the House goes. If serious talks are in progress they may already have taken an option on studio space as these things need to be booked well in advance. Within that space they can build the House any which way they want, subject to the available space and any limitations on the height. It will need to be away from residential areas and have room for portacabins for the crew. At Elstree they could use some of the existing studios for BOTS; not sure if any revival would include an audience participation spin-off show.

Yes, probably the first nail in the coffin of Live Feed after the Jade/Shilpa incident. Ofcom insisted the compliance had to be done by the network, not the production company. Channel 4 cut the live feed back soon after and Five decided the cost wasn't worth it considering the low ratings. The feed was still there 24/7 but not able to be broadcast.

Worth noting that virtually every single complaint against Big Brother was rejected and the noteable controversies - BB5 Fight Night and the CBB Race Row - the complaints upheld were not so much about what was broadcast but more about what wasn't, and therefore the events not being broadcast in their full context.

It should be noted that the final series on Channel 4 had live feed with zero controversy. Channel 5 also offered some limited live feed for at least the 2013 civilian series. Again with zero controversy.

The biggest thing holding back live feeds isn’t necessarily the need to assure compliance with standards and practices but whether there’s going to be enough interest to warrant the additional investment.

The only reason the majority of the Channel 5 era had no live feed was because they simply didn’t want to make the additional investment.

ITV would be missing out on a massive opportunity to inflate subscriptions for their premium streaming subscription by not offering BB live feeds as either an additional subscription or a free bonus offering like BBUS does with Paramount+.

Ugh I have to say even if it doesn't happen its been lovely feeling like the old days when BB was here, all the excitement and speculation. The forum felt a bit like it's old self

Itv have love the island which beat bb in the ratings so bb not coming back

Because it was on a garbage competing network. Even if it has lower ratings than Love Island what else is on ITV2 that would get a million + viewers?

Oh yes I not saying big brother won't get viewers if it done probably and thereneeds to be 14 hours of live feed min after all the live feed what set it apart from other reality TV shows I be glad if I am wrong but I can't see bb being on itv2

Yes, I've hardly been on here since BB19 finished. It's great to see all the tabloids and BB fansites perking up at the news/rumour, having had nothing but foreign BBs to comment on for almost 4 years.

Just hope it goes ahead I really do

There's also rumours survivor and pop idol are returning. If they bring back Popstars too it's TV heaven for me having all these shows back

It's definitely coming back.

Really??

Really??

What’s your source on those rumours? I could see a Pop Idol revival being in the works now that The X Factor is on hiatus. Survivor I’m not so sure of as far as I’m aware the US version doesn’t even air in the UK so there’s not as much brand awareness. Also the previous two UK series weren’t well received. That said tastes have changed, twenty years have passed, and if they aligned production values with the US and Australian series it could have a decent chance at finding audience in the UK.

Talks are definitely happening but still in early stages. I wouldn’t be surprised if the series did return but I’m also not counting chickens before they’ve hatched. There’s still a lot of room for talks to fall through.
