Summer LI will be the SHORTEST series since 2015

how can it be the shortest series since 1 when it will be same as the winter? Winter is 6 weeks and 8-2 = 6 so summer will also be 6 weeks.

I don't watch the show, but why are ITV trimming weeks for a show that pulls in 5 million viewers for them?:conf:

I dont know why they are doing it also. I am a bit disappointed. I used to be a huge BB fan but since I started watching Love Island in series 2 I much prefer it and so I dont even miss Big Brother

I’d imagine it’s down to the fact they’re now doing multiple series a year and ITV mustn’t be giving them the schedule space to allow to full series.

Because how it is at the moment, it’s still 12 weeks of Love Island a year compared to 8 when it was just one series. If they were both full length - it’d be 16 weeks a year and I assume ITV don’t have the space/budget/creativity to accommodate that.

It doesn't make sense at all. :laugh:

Should’ve just kept it to one summer series

Although this is a good thing for when it’s running out of steam like the current series

The end is nigh :clap1:

Hardly.

I think it might be too short and a tad rushed, I'd rather just one summer series

If that's the case I'd just scrap the winter series going forward.

It's sad what Ch5 did to BB, because like you I don't miss their version at all.

I'll always miss Ch4 BB though.

It's over, your honour.

ITV have cut 12 eps from the summer run, this winter run is only 7? shorter I think

According to Broadcast magazine anyway, who are pretty spot on

Dogeatdog 12-02-2020 09:56 PM

A bit strange that it will be shorter than the current winter series as surely the summer is when the show is most popular? I mean I was expecting it to be the same length as the winter series but not shorter?
