LISTEN GIRLS

Not ONE show reaches 1m on E4, but a 1m average is seen as bloody DIRE for BBUK. Therefore, the Best Shows Ever should be rating ATLEAST 1m and the higher the ratings are, the MORE LIKELY it is for BB to return on C4!

So SPREAD THE GOSPEL tell all your friends to watch (and say it’s classic C4 episodes none of the C5 ****e) and then tell THEM to tell THEIR friends!

Thank u hons Xx

BB will always be an expensive show. Having it on a smaller channel where it gets 200/300k more viewers than their other shows won’t make it any cheaper.

[Morgan.]

That said I wouldn’t complain if it was back, I just don’t see it.

[Denver]

They have no house

[Samm]

there’s literally no set, house etc ff it’ll be mega expensive to invest that much in a show that will still bomb it has only been off air for two years. Needs at least five more years.

This whole E4 show is cute but there’s a reason for it, it’s the 20th anniversary and a show that can be easily made to fill content in this lockdown climate.

This is all subject to a lot - Big Brother cost C5 £40 Million a year, for example but this was including two Celebrity series a year.

Big Brother can be done a lot cheaper than before. Big Brother series around the world are using pre-existing houses and just rigging them up cameras. You don't need a massive fancy live set either. The Circle is a good example of this. Any House can also be done super cheap, if they wanted to go down the route of a custom build. Big Brother USA and Canada build their houses in a soundstage, nothing is stopping it happening over here and would be a way to cut costs down. You wouldn't be paying for upkeep of a house like the one at Elstree because they can dismantle it between series.

It can be done a lot cheaper. If Big Brother comes back it won't be the same as we've come to know and expect, it'll look different and feel different. Look at Big Brother in Australia for example, they cut costs by pre-recording the entire series. It wouldn't surprise me if Endemol pack off this format to other countries around the world if the AU series does well.

They said they were using the AU series as a trial to roll out this style of show worldwide.

There you go, so it wouldn't be a surprise if they tried to get the UK to do it.

[Greg!]

Not here for a pre-recorded format at all. If they’re gonna bring it back they need to do it properly, and in a few years’ time at least. Most people don’t even know it’s been axed at this point. It needs a longer rest.

C5 had nothing to do with the house being demolished - that was Endemol.

[Rob!]

Let's be real - this is basically a set of repeats and the launch of BB19 only got 900k odd. I'd be surprised if it gets more than 500k.

If it does get more than 500k that'll be more than most things on E4, but who knows. They are really going all out for it.

[Aaliyah]

It will never be relaunched purely because of how much it'll cost to rebuild the house. CH5 took it off CH4 because there was a house ready and waiting. Sad but true!

I love BB but would rather it stay off air than have it come back as some cheap pre-recorded North American knock off.

[Maxxie.]

could they not use a different country's house at first?

[Epic.]

[Strictly Jake]

If it does return I hope they still keep the circle too!

[Marsh.]

Campaign GET OVER IT

[Calderyon]

Two years is not enough time for a hiatus.

They struggled to get a live crowd in the UK let alone get people to travel to another country just for an eviction

It needs revamped anyway so I'd say lose the crowd. It's dated anyway.

[Denver]

A big part of the evictions was the crowd (although they were non existent towards the end)

[Jodie.]

They promoted it right after Corrie (!) btw so this is just adding more fuel to my fire Xxx
