Big Brother relaunch to recapture 'Golden era'

In the original reboot announcement, ITV2 controller Paul Mortimer promised a “refreshed, contemporary new series” that retained “all the familiar format points that kept viewers engaged and entertained the first time round”.
These are already confirmed to include nominations and live evictions.
He added there would be “a brand new look and some additional twists that speak to today’s audience”.
In his March press call, Kevin Lygo also said his vision was for Big Brother to be “intelligent” and “upmarket”.
He said: “The key to Big Brother is to keep it like it was in its golden period, to have it more interesting, intelligent, upmarket, etcetera, than other reality shows.”

Good news imo!!

Sounds positive, I hope they stick with that

As much as I have always adored big brother and as perfect as its earlier seasons/golden era were... It has NEVER been "upmarket" :joker:. Come on now.

what is the golden era though? BB5 to BB7?

I think they mean more upmarket than trash like TOWIE and Love Island.

At this point it would be any Season that was on Channel 4.

The Channel 5 years make the weakest Channel 4 years look like Game Of Thrones quality in comparison.:laugh:

BB2 and BB3 for me

No
but the Australia one on E4HD
was upmarket
using a Tower Block


Bringing a Rubbish Truck
to the ground floor Superb Food
laid out

They watched on Screen as the Truck
Poured Rubbish all over that great food

I feel like that's typically what if referred to as the Golden Years when it comes to BB, but they could mean anything.

I wonder if they'll actually adhere to a strict "no contact with the outside world" rule.
