I didn't get round to this before Christmas, but it is something I've intended to do. So wipe your memory clean of the last month, and indeed BB9, and enjoy Brekkie's Celebrity Big Brother 2009.
This is the follow up to my
BB9 plan from last year, so if you haven't read that it might be an idea to take a look first, as the idea of this series is it's a continuation from that, which obviously was hugely successful and hence Celebrity Big Brother is back and will develop naturally from that.
I'm not going to repeat myself too much as alot of the set up is largely the same, but I'll outline the key changes before going ahead with a more detailed plan for how the series will pan out.
Firstly, the
Schedule.
I'm knocking a couple of days off and starting on the Sunday instead of the Friday, with a 90-minute launch show from 9pm. The show will continue nightly at 9pm with hour-long shows, but there will be 90-minute shows on Tuesdays and Fridays for evictions, with the possibility (if required) of 90-minute shows on Sundays for additional live shows.
It goes without saying I would not have axed the live stream.
BBLB would air in it's usual Sunday to Friday slots (though I think 7.30pm rather than 6pm during the week).
Big Mouth would air four nights a week - Sun/Mon and Wed/Thu, straight after the C4 show. On Tuesday and Friday E4 concentrates on live streaming from the house following the eviction, though in the first week though the show would air Monday to Thursday as there is no Tuesday night eviction, and on the Sunday we want to get straight into the live streaming after the launch show.
Diary Room Uncut would air once a week on Saturdays at 10pm, including on the day after the finale.
Ad Campaign
The ad campaign is a continuation of the theme I used for the summer series - The Mark of Big Brother. The idea then was that people were disappearing from all sorts of places, with only an etching of the BB eye left behind as an indication of their disappearance.
That idea is now reworked for celebs, so rather than workplaces etc. we have celebrities disappearing from the red carpet, the middle of a concert, a movie set etc. with only "the mark of Big Brother" left behind to indicate where they've gone.
The titles
Not quite as lazy as slapping a star on the eye - we've also changed the colour from a
boring old blue to a starry pink. I think Celeb BB2 left an impression on all of us because even though it's not been used since, alot of us seem to still associate the colour pink with Celeb BB.
That's about it for now while I decide which direction I want to go with the show, which will impact on how many celebs I require and if I need to make any major changes to the house.
