Channel 5 are teasing the new civilian series as “The original social experiment, featuring housemates from all walks of life entering a new-look Big Brother House” with a “whole new feel” #BBUK #CBB

Ben Frow: "I'm planning for a year without Big Brother" #EdTVFest

Talking about the schedule in general and not just Big Brother, C5 boss Ben Frow says: “You have to free up the schedule and open it up to new ideas. I am over quite a lot of things." #EdTVFest

It needs to end tbh

[Denver]

The show needs a long break

[Denver]

Unless he means CH5 will take a year break and bring it back in 2020?

[Cal.]

It needs to go.

Yes but youve conviniently left out the next part of his quote. After saying hes planned for a year without it, hes also said "but never say never." Why would you selectively leave that part out other than to try and mislead people and bolster your conclusion that this will be the last ever. If he said he hasnt planned for a year without it, that would be foolish as it would put Endemol in a stronger negotiationg position as they would have him by the balls. Im not saying its necessarily looking great for a renewal but that was a very crucial remark that you purposely chose to leave out.

Ok I apologize I thought it was intentional.

[DanielM787]

Well we all knew the end was nigh

[Glenn.]

If they can’t look after it properly then they need to end it

[Jase.]

He can **** off. He's clearly never been a huge fan of the show anyway.

i feel so sad for you guys, but maybe they want one year off to come back with BB20 then, would be a nice series for all stars vs newbies i guess

So it's taking a year off.

So it's not the last ever.

I personally think if C5 were to axe BB forever they'd be doing UBB2 - because we all know C5 love bringing back past housemates

[lewys]

they should leave ha for a year, bring BB20 back in the year 2020 and have all stars vs newbies and if it's **** leave ha alone

[supertv247]

Basically, the BB contract hasn't been renewed yet and they can't put something without a contract into their schedule, therefore they will have planned some of 2019 without Big Brother. That's all he means

[JoshBB]

I don't understand why people want it cancelled on here.. like surely you're a fan of the show, why would you want to see it axed?

I think most want it gone before Channel 5 ruin it anymore.

But there is a pretty high likelihood that the show wouldn't come back.. and if it's bought by MTV or a channel like that, it'll likely ditch the original format even further.

C5 are promising 'back to basics', and this should be our best hopes tbh

Some of us are thinking about actual longevity for the show rather that being thirsty for it being on every year, if it carries on the way it's going the show will get canceled and this time for good. But if its given a long needed break and picked up by someone who knows what they're doing then I can see it lasting.

wow it's almost like you can be a fan of a show and still recognize how awful it has gotten over the years

I'm optimistic that ratings can recover a bit if this series goes on well, since Civilian BB will follow CBB which usually rates better.

I can understand people thinking a one/two year break will boost the quality of the show, but the way some people speak, it's as though they want the show permanently cancelled. "Dead format" and the likes comments..

I agree with you, its not more likely to return if its cancelled, thats just a ridiculous notion perpetuated on this forum-- theres a good chance if it goes it wont ever come back . I also think the show is still great, though there are some things I dont like or agree with its still my favorite show , period, and Im so happy its on the air and love watching it. I dont know why the majority of the vocal people on this forum are so negative and slag it off to the degree they do, they act like spoiled children having a rant. Times change, life changes, its never gonna be what it was. Just enjoy that its still around and for what it is and dont be so nitpicky.
