Are people not understanding that next week is THE END of BBUK....it won't be back
 

I don't think people are understanding that next Monday BBUK is finishing for good

There won't be any interest from other channels or services.

Its done

It will not be coming back.

So saying 'its free of Channel5' and 'cant wait to see what another broadcaster is gonna do with it' is redundant.

It will 100000% not return. After 18 years our beloved show is slinking off out the back door.

Ok...?

(there is interest from at least one platform if press reports are to be believed but whatevs)

But i doubt they would be willing to pay the asking price

Even if this is the end Channel 5 and Ben Vom have treated the show incredibly badly so I will be fine (but a little sad obviously) with never seeing it again if it is away from C5 who have shown they do not care about Big Brother despite it being their biggest show.

Channel 5 will never be watched in my house after monday anyway.

Their shows are typically trashy af about poking fun at people on benefits or losing their homes.

I know.

BB is CH5's flagship show,

Them getting rid of it would be like EastEnders ditching the Queen Vic or X-factor without Simon Cowell


It's their funeral

Netflix have been meeting with Endemol over the last two weeks.

Its not going to happen!

Get your head out of the clouds

I still don't understand why Netflix would want BB , they usually go for New shows that will be a hit . Not tired old shows that have been milked to death aka BB :facepalm: :sleep: .

IT'S OVERRR!!!! https://66.media.tumblr.com/c22bc739...sjnso1_250.gif

TO FREEDOM!!!

i think netflix will buy it, they did great with top gear... or they will just rip it off like they did top gear lol they didnt buy top gear just stole the cast and changed the name.

I'm not getting Netflix just to watch BB, I'm afraid, even though I'll miss it dreadfully.

Wouldn't surprise me if Netflix did it. The show still has life in it but it's the age of micro-management that has killed it. That's a TV thing though. Streaming services can get away with more.

I was optimistic after CBB but the current series has failed to capture a significant audience.

:love: :love:

bringing more positivity and fun into BB again, cause BB's problem now mostly has been, the worry about the ratings, which won't be a problem anymore at Netflix

Its a shame but I think it has had its day, time to move on

They can't just palm it onto a new platform and expect the ratings to go up . It's like flogging a dead horse . They've had 18 years !!! Which is way more than I expected ,they should end it for good .

maybe Netflix can buy the rights of the franchise, and then focus on celebrity big brother a bit more, given that usually is a good fun show

while they can give civilian BB a small hiatus to think of newer ideas


that could work i guess :think:

It should be rested for at least five years, and be re-launched on a steaming platform, it won’t ever work on a TV channel again

Well excuse him for showing optimism for a show we're all here for/love :umm2:

Here we agree at last.
I rarely ever watched channel 5 until BB was on it.

I've sometimes stuck with the half hour or hour long programme between BB highlights and bbbots at times.

I can't really see me watching channel 5 now for anything like yourself.

I think people understand perfectly well that it’s finishing, but it’s always nice to have a little hope that it can come back at some point, I for one hope it does come back on a different channel because It will feel weird without having it on every summer, there’s no harm in being optimistic.
