How an earth could they make that mistake?

Doogle 08-08-2011 08:00 PM

Maybe they were made before the date change?

andydx 08-08-2011 08:00 PM

I think they mean programming because the oktv big brother special is that day?

SimBrotherNetwork 08-08-2011 08:01 PM

People will tune into C5 on thr 17th thinking time for BB and they will end up with some crap USA film and be think wth?!

mrmarky 08-08-2011 08:01 PM

Channel 5 changed the dates at the last minute because of the Movie on channel 4 (on the 17th)

CharlieO 08-08-2011 08:02 PM

They should just send up a poster man and cover up the date with the 18th.

daniel-lewis-1985 08-08-2011 08:02 PM

Disaster.

I really like the billboard though.

People should be fired for this lol

So you're saying its laziness on Channel 5's behalf?

Sawyer 08-08-2011 08:03 PM

Holy crap. This is bad.

Maia 08-08-2011 08:04 PM

The billboard looks amazing, but a wrong date is just gonna put people off.

Jords 08-08-2011 08:06 PM

How unprofessional.

Jordan. 08-08-2011 08:07 PM

Surely they'll change them? Can't be helped if they were put up beforehand.

Locke. 08-08-2011 08:09 PM

LOL. What smart, professional, great working people we have in charge of the show.

mrmarky 08-08-2011 08:09 PM

channel 5 execs met the day before the announcement think it was around 4ish after they got wind about c4, the day before that all the notices went out to (tickets and press) some tickets even now have the 17th as the launch date.

it was to late to warn them, but channel 5 had to make the change to the 18th they wanted the launch night to have good figures.

daniel-lewis-1985 08-08-2011 08:14 PM

No excuse for this.

If they did have to suddenly change launch date the billboards should have been pulled and reissued.

Attention to detail is crucial.

Absolute madness to advertise your biggest show with a wrong date.

Totally agree how long would it have, taken them to make new posters.:rolleyes:

It could be a fake,it looks abit fake.
I mean why would they crowd it so much! The one thing thats making me doubt it is the way they put the freederm advert in,obviouldy it would be there but it would probably take up less space and would look like

The freederm bit takes up hardly any space at all, you can barely see it. :hugesmile: it looks real to me.

Channel 4 always did billboards for every series until BB7. Then CBB5 happened and BB died.

I know they did how i was ment to put it was that when bb really needed great advertising when it was failing, they never did it (bb8 bb9 bb10) they only botherd too when the show had already been axed. x

andybigbro 08-08-2011 09:41 PM

I think its to do with the OK! TV special. Channel 5 wouldn't be silly enough to make an error like this.

Anyway, it's not like people are actually going to see a billboard and be like NEED to watch this show! :/

BigBrotherfan4ever 09-08-2011 07:10 PM

Saw a billboard here in Glasgow today - with the wrong date.:rolleyes::mad:
