I would guess that could be on ITVX online only
to see if it gets the numbers

As ITVX starrting this year
the new ITV HUB
will have many Pay for shows
and the free stuff


I hope they do not want a credit card number
to log in
I would not give them that.

They've had the option to take it back any time in the last 4 years but decided the time wasn't right, they could find shows with a better ratings per pound spent ratio.

If ITV can make a big success of it, as they've done with LI, then C4 may regret that. But they live in uncertain times as the government is about to flog them off and they've no idea what the new owners will want.

The Ch4 Sale
is on hold.

Labour would halt the sale.

I hope the house is like the old houses, the stairs separated from the house, individual rooms rather than an open plan layout, even though it was nice to look at, id love a living room away from the other rooms, like bb6 again as well

I liked the BB10 living room tbh especially when they had a long walk alone on exit

Marcus is a BBUK icon. I think he just needs to scale back his accent emphasis to what it was back in the earlier days. He was really hammering the Geordie accent in the later seasons and it was excessively over the top and at times annoying.

Am eye being thick or is that the confirmed EYE?

Yeah, something like that again would be great to see

I am so excited for the return of the show!!!

If so, it being the colour of the ITV2 logo probably means they won't change it much, like Channel 4 and 5 did.

It’s good to be back.

I can’t imagine that eye will end up being the official one

Very excited for this!

He is an icon but for these very reasons he needs to go. He says he's been talking to producers though which is worrying.

ITV have their own Geordie on their books in Andrew Hayden Smith, but I think they may go for a lighter narration with a comic in the way most shows do now. Whoever it is the narration needs to be minimal - let us see what's unfolding rather than have every scene introduced. The narrator should only crop up where added explanation is required (to explain a task for example). I think C5 did move away from telling viewers where every single housemate is in the house at the beginning of every scene but Marcus's ego got to him and he seemed to want to outshine the housemates. A good narrator should barely be noticed.

Has there been word on where it’s going to be filmed now?? Just finished my TV Production degree in Manchester so praying it’s gonna move here and finally fulfil my dream as working on big brother hahaha

It's been a while but it feels just so good to be back on the BB forums with all this recent news. :)

According to The Mirror there will be no influences like Love Island and no outside interference

Latest rumour in The Sun says a shortlist of three potential locations "on the outskirts of North London".

So you'd have to move South to get that job. Doesn't look as if they'll be moving far from the previous House.

i cannot see BB doing that well honestly


i am more liking The Circle nowadays, more funny to see those ''catfish'' try their ultimate best to play someone else

I just hope we get the same sort of adverts we got for Celebrity Big Brother 7. Those eye flashes were incredible. It was so obscure what it was at first with just some fire and he'll lies in others and all built up to an epic advert. I would love to see something like that again. Also the orchestral version of the theme tune in that advert is good too

Netflix don’t run their shows in to the ground the way broadcast networks do. All signs point to season 5 being the last season. Given the expense of relocating the series I’m inclined to believe the rumours are true. I also don’t see Channel 4 or any other networks lining up to revive the show. At least not immediately.

BB may not be a massive success right out of the gate but I definitely see room for the show to grow its audience on ITV2. Aside from one article claiming production have been reaching out to influencers all the press we’ve received for this series has been overwhelming positive. ITV’s statements about the show have all signalled the show is moving in a direction that’s palatable for fans and that they have reasonable expectations in terms of performance. If the finished product is anywhere near what we’ve been promised there should be little doubt the show will achieve at least moderate success in its first outing.

While we wait for BBuk, itv2 is showing the Australian one. Not the best show but that will do for now :joker:

Oh I hope they don't overload people with BB, especially the current Australian abomination. People won't want to watch when the actual UK series comes on. And please G-d do not let ITV follow in Australia's footsteps with BB...

I seen the 2 ITV 30 seconds adverts on the Youtube Very excited and both are great great videos in my opinion.


Here is one of them:
