Endemol have submitted application to retain house at Elstree for another year
 

According to Blagger

wow this is finally some news

Looks like they might be planning Big Brothers 20th anniversary :D

IIRC they asked for an extension around July 2010 too, just under a year before the C5 deal was announced

So this could be promising (if you want the show renewed of course)

omg.

Slay a bit?

Good news I think but someone on Twitter just said it could be to accommodate Summer CBB since BB19 is launching later

Its Renewed until next September, so they could potentially air three more seasons next year (2 CBB 1 BB)

This could just be a way of reducing the pressure for Channel 5 so they’ve got more leg room to air the next series. As it stands, the house has to be demolished by the end of September :joker:

Doesn't mean much.

They renewed it in 2010 when BB went off the air for almost 12 months.

It's just Endemol securing the site if the show is renewed. No point letting the lease go, demolishing the house and then channel 5 deciding to give it another go.

BB20 will be an all stars last series dealy then

This at least means BB19 will launch after LI is finished which is good

Always look on the bright side of life my love :hug: don't be too negative, you might end up loving the upcoming BB series

I probably won't be watching to find out.

Li isn’t the reason why it doesn’t get the ratings, CBB21 proved it.

Yeah it doesn’t mean much.

They are making BB19 late which could see the final at the end of august or the start of september and then they have CBB22 to do which will go over the house deadline.

I understand the reasoning that this may be just to extend this years series, but then why would they do so for an entire year as opposed to another month? Are they required to do renewals only on an annual basis?

That breaking news banner for Big Blagger is embarrassing.

it’s very sky news

Perhaps.

The last lease renewal was a 5 year one in 2013 so it is peculiar that they’ve only gone fore 1 year.

Doesn't mean much... I'm sure they can un-reserve/reuse it later. (or use the property for another project/liquidation/storage)

It has 2 obvious aims:

1. So this year's series (BB/CBB) can start later (which we know is the case) and continue after September 30th.

2. To allow the house structure to remain standing for another year whilst Endemol secure a transmission deal with C5 or another broadcaster. Otherwise they would be negotiating with extra cash needed to build a new house from the ground up.

Aha, the extension application has been removed.

Apparently this has been returned for being invalid or s/s?

Doesn’t look like they’re airing anymore series’ lmao
