It's not only Celeb BB that's getting the chop. Bosses at Channel 4 have been wielding an axe and have slashed more or less all of there homegrown shows in the peak time schedule including Brat Camp, You Are What You Eat, It's Me Or The Dog and Selling Houses Abroad. In fact the only one to be saved from the rubbish pile in the first half of the year is Grand Designs – phew, we love Kev! The move comes as part of a major programming shake-up designed to refresh the network and reaffirm its public service broadcasting credentials. Instead we're getting a new show about family life in the 21st century called The Family. Sounds thrilling :-(

I think The Family sounds good actually, haha.

lol. I don't think it's gone forever. There must be something good to replace CBB6. If Big Brother 9 does go ahead it will be even more exciting because we will have been deprived of Big Brother for a hole 9 months!

It isn't getting axed, it's just not going to be on C4 next year.

I heard a during last years series ITV are intersted in buying Big Brother.
