I can't see how that could be avoided - I don't think you're entitled to "shoot down" intrusive drones?

Watched jade goody eviction from bb3 the other day, it's still a series I need to watch, anyway that walkway eye thing it's showing reminds me of the stage walkway they had in that series. I like the look of it all so far

They've certainly crammed a lot into that space between the 2 stages.

There's an open door into the back of the stage on the right (Iris 2) so maybe they can use space in there for the interviews and support show, well away from the house built in Iris 1.

The late C5 area was also quite cramped - the crowd sizes were small, but angles and cameras made it look bigger on TV.

Those shots of the house entrance have got me far more excited than anything else so far. Weird "Is it indoors or outdoors?" vibe, campy futuristic look, walking through a giant metal eye. Just that whole creepy trapped in a TV simulation vibe they got the aesthetic of so right in the Channel 4 years.

Granted it's only breadcrumbs. Please just stick 10-12 relatively ordinary, diverse people in there where at least 50% of them are actually likeable and relatable, don't dick about with it too much, and the good TV will just make itself happen.

Hard to explain but my thinking is the soundstage doorway could have its own shutter, and rolls up to reveal a porch - from inside the house, ahead is then the garden, under the canopy, and to the right would be the main exit door.

I like that the housemates will be entering the house through the eye "archway" - an inverse of the C5 era where housemates appeared from the eye and then walked through the crowd and into the house.

Also, I guess it makes up for the fact this is a soundstage and therefore doesn't have a fancy big staircase doorway entrance like the Elstree house did.

But yeah it's weird how close it is to those office windows. Whoever's in those offices will be able to look down at what's going on in the garden, unless they will be closed off while the series is on?

The offices are attached to the studio so I imagine they just won't be in use, or if they're used for something like the gallery or production offices they'll probably just be blacked out.

The garden wall is fairly high so may block out the view of the offices. We'll find out in a few weeks.
