Billboards advertising BB11 from Monday
 
According to one of the Channel 4 press team on Twitter, they are putting up massive lit up billboards around the UK from Monday, so it looks like they're going all out to promote the final series.

When was the last time they had billboards to promote BB? Must be a good 5 years or so.

The "lit up billboards" thing sounds like what The X Factor did last year, if anyone remembers.

Edit 7:45pm: Here's a pic of one of the tube posters from Warren St. Station!:

OMG

That's brilliant (If it's true)
At least they're actually standing by their word of sending it out with a bang

If thats true, absoloutley brilliant :D Its been since BB7 in 2006 they last did this.

Looks like the series is going to be heavily advertised then. I wonder if there will be a longer advert tonight where the flowers form the eye?

MusicMan 21-05-2010 04:59 PM

Woooooo! :D
What good news indeed :)

Guessed they would, hope they release a list of where they're situated, would like to see the Cardiff one, assuming there's going to be one here.

Beastie 21-05-2010 05:07 PM

Retweeted by Sarah Ellis (@sarahlucyellis) who works for the Channel 4 press team. Also the 3 of the first 7 followers of @insideeye are people from the Channel 4 press team, which leads me to think it's 100% legit info.

Of course, nothing's an absolute guarantee since no 'official' statement has been made by Channel 4 yet regarding the billboards. But it's very likely to happen.

yippie fuckingdoodar.

That's not sarcastic, by the way.

DigitalSid 21-05-2010 05:16 PM

@TotalBigBrother yes there really are, any they're special big glowing ones, and tube posters... #BB11 #bigbro

DigitalSid 21-05-2010 05:17 PM

If they're doing tube posters, they're probably paying CBS to handle it:

Brilliant news. Absolutely brilliant. And the more billboards, the better, quite frankly. Let's hope the heavy advertising works though.

JohnnyBB 21-05-2010 05:21 PM

obv someone on here as been snooping and listening to our demands!!!

Glenn. 21-05-2010 05:22 PM

We should know the Launch date Monday then? The date has to be on the billboards surely?

Yeah, and if the full trail airs during the Million Pound Drop, that's got to have the date on it too.

So only a few days until we find out then. After reading the bbspy article earlier, my guess is Wednesday 9th June.

Yes! This sounds amazing!

On the trailers, they could easily say 'Coming Soon'. But I think we will find out by Monday the launch date. Wednesday by the absolute latest.

BB Spy probably have it spot-on with Wednesday 9th June, if we look at the provisional schedules, rumours, etc.

Ah yeah, but it'd make sense to have the date on it if it's on the billboards.

Does anyone have any pics of these X Factor billboards you mentioned? I remember some XF ones but can't remember what they looked like.

BigBrotherfan4ever 21-05-2010 05:31 PM

This is fantastic news :hugesmile:

Shasown 21-05-2010 05:32 PM

Hope this makes up to Patrick for them releasing the eye when he was at school.

I remember seeing images of the XF billboards but I can't find them anywhere on the internet at the moment :bawling:! If I do find them, I'll post it here :)
