It was axed with good reason - but they acted as if there was nothing wrong with the format, and just ended up making it worse with an incapable presenter and somehow making Marcus Bentley even worse.


Now feels about the right time to try the show once again - hopefully with Emma Willis at the helm I'll at least be able to get through the launch show and early signs of much needed changes being made are promising - althoguh I'll still find the highlights a struggle thanks to Marcus Bentley. Having watched and enjoyed BBUSA, most of BB Aus and BB Canada over the last year though I'm ready to give BBUK a try again.
I'm not really sure really the 4 year hiatus of BBAU did the show any good... Not to say that it was all bad but they are still marketing the show to a demographic that is much too young for it... Which is now nothing more than a completely sanitized, diluted, and dumbed down version of what Channel 5 has been dishing out... TBH I think Channel 5 have learned much more over the last 2 years than anyone would have during a two year hiatus...
