Default channel4 big brother Full Press release Here!

BIG BROTHER RETURNS TO CHANNEL 4 FOR ONE FINAL HURRAH!

This summer the doors to TV’s most famous house open for one last time. The final selection of housemates will spend a summer in front of the cameras as the biggest television series of the past decade offers up its last dose of Big Brother to Channel 4.

True to form, Big Brother will not be leaving the limelight quietly but will be creating an almighty ruckus as all the stops are pulled out for a summer of frenetic, fascinating and fun-filled television.

Both housemates and viewers should expect some surprises including new twists and turns to the existing format, rewarding the housemates with what will inevitably be some of the most memorable, challenging and revealing weeks of their lives.

Cocooned from public opinion and the world outside, ultimately it’s the relationships the housemates build with each other that keep viewers hooked. No matter what Big Brother has in store, one thing that won’t change is that of the power of the fans to change the direction of the show. Each eviction night it is their votes that count, deciding which housemates to discard, and who to save.

Finally, as one housemate emerges triumphant, the doors will close on one of the most ground breaking, compelling, controversial and downright entertaining chapters of British television history.

Commissioning Editor for Channel 4 David Williams said: “This may be Big Brother’s swan song on Channel 4, but I can promise that it will be one hell of a chorus. Every idea that we have wanted to do with the show has been brought to the table. This is our chance to pull out all of the stops and ensure that Big Brother is remembered as the entertaining TV juggernaut that it is. “

Creative Director Phil Edgar Jones adds: “I have worked on Big Brother since the second series and every year it’s thrown up new surprises, its capacity to surprise, delight, make you gasp and make you laugh never ceases to amaze me. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that no matter what Big Brother has planned something unexpected always happens.

He added “I am very excited by this year’s mixed bag of housemates, and when they move into their brand new Big Brother house they need to be prepared for Big Brother to have a lot of fun with them.”

Throughout the series E4 will continue to be the home of the ultimate fanzine shows Big Brother’s Little Brother and Big Brother’s Big Mouth, while fans can also keep up-to-date online with breaking news, and sneak a peak at the latest footage via the official website www.channel4.com/bigbrother

DAVINA McCALL INTERVIEW

By Benjie Goodhart

When Big Brother first burst onto our screens in 2000, a young, enthusiastic presenter called Davina McCall was at the helm. Ten years on and with the show approaching its curtain call, she’s still at the helm, still looks youthful, and is, if anything, more enthusiastic than ever. The Big Brother story has also been the Davina McCall story, the two inextricably linked from first to last. If life without Big Brother will seem strange, Big Brother without Davina would have been unthinkable.

Here, Davina looks back at the rollercoaster ride that kept a nation transfixed, was never short of controversy, and changed the face of television forever.

The last Big Brother is upon us! Going back ten years, what do you remember about the opening night of the first ever Big Brother?


I’ve been doing a lot of reminiscing and looking back – I’m full of nostalgia this year, looking back at everything that’s happened in all the past series. And I’ve been talking about series one. I don’t remember a huge amount. The first episode of the first ever series, I was just trying to do what the producer wanted me to do. The housemates had already been in the house for four days, so there was a little bit of a buzz about it, but I was too busy being petrified, I think, to really think about anything other than putting one foot in front of the other and trying not to swear.

At what point did you realise that what you were dealing with was really going to become a massive phenomenon?

I think pretty quickly. The buzz around the first few days got bigger and bigger and bigger. People loved the fact that this big press thing was brewing and the housemates were totally oblivious to it. There was something rather delicious about the fact that there were all these lovely housemates cocooned away from this huge furore that was happening on the outside. Looking back on the first series I think is hilarious now. Our housemates now think they get bored, but our housemates in the first series literally did nothing. They got one task a week, and that task had to last them the whole week. And that’s all they did. Our housemates now are up and at ‘em from the moment they wake up. They must have gone nuts. Nowadays if that went on telly, people would think “Jesus, this is the most boring thing I’ve ever seen in my life!” But back then it was groundbreaking.

Big Brother has changed the face of television, but how has the show itself changed over the years?


I suppose it’s changed in a lot of different ways. One of the things I think is really clever is that Big Brother reserves the right to change the rules at any time, so Big Brother is forever morphing, even during a series. The right to change the rules means we can do anything we want. We can change the way housemates go in, we can change the way they come out, we can change the style of the exit interviews – we tried that last year, with a couple of extra people on the panel. We’re reverting back to just me and the housemate this year. The show has changed every series. But the main thing is they just do a lot more. There are a lot more tasks, a lot more housemates – there were only ten in the first series, and we can now have anything up to 15 or 20 going into the house over a series, with all the newbies and stuff like that. And we’ve gone to hell, we’ve gone back to basics, we’ve gone complicated again. I’ve never got bored – even in series 4, when everyone was like “This is so dull, everybody’s so nice!” For me, even in series 4 I was addicted.

You’ve said before that you’ve seen so much of Big Brother that you think you know how to win it. How would you go about it?

If I was a punter on Big Brother, first off, when I was doing my audition, I’d impress Big Brother within the first ten seconds. You’ve got to do something or say something or be different enough for them to say “Oh, you’re interesting.” It’s not good enough just to be kooky or weird, you have to be interesting. I always think they’re looking for multi-layered personalities. When you get in there, I would say hang back for the first couple of weeks. Hang back, get to know people, watch a little bit from the outside, let all the really big characters annoy everybody. I always think that the people who are really loud right at the beginning are the first out. I hate people who run around talking to the cameras all the time. I don’t want you to start having a commentary with Big Brother. Once in a blue moon this is appropriate, but not for joking or jesting. It’s not clever, it’s not funny, don’t do it. Secondly, don’t break the rules. Don’t tell people things from the outside world. Tim ‘Comprondez’ really upset me that year when he went in and told them straightaway what was happening in the World Cup – I couldn’t wait for him to be out, because it really annoyed me. And there’s a part of me that would say “Don’t be too much of a peacekeeper – if there’s a stonking argument going on, please don’t go in and just break it up, because I do quite enjoy watching something and see it resolve itself. There are people who can’t bear a cross word. Just let it happen. And the other really important thing is, use the diary room. A lot. Because we want to know how you’re feeling, and Big Brother wants to know how you’re feeling. You get a dynamic in the diary room – when someone’s looking down the lens, you feel connected to that housemate. And the public need to feel connected to you if you’re going to win it. And have a reason to be in there, rather than just being a wannabe. Like, I loved Nadia’s reason for being in there.

Wow. You’ve really thought about how to win it, haven’t you?

I’ve had a lot of time to think about it!

Do you ever get nervous before eviction nights?

Always. I always get nervous, because it’s live, and things go wrong. Or the dress run might have gone on too long and we might not have much time and we’ve only got 45 minutes to do hair and make up and get dressed and go live. But it’s never nerves that are crippling. Now, literally the moment I open my mouth I’m in it and I’m enjoying it. Those nerves go after I’ve said “Welcome to Big Brother.” Or, actually, they go when I hear the music, and I get excited and start pogo-ing on a stage, with everyone else in the audience all jumping around.

Looking back over a decade of Big Brother, is there anything you’d do differently? Any interviews you’d change, any questions you’d ask, any outfits you wouldn’t have worn, anything at all?


There’s one thing that I said to Katia at the end of her interview that I feel a bit bad about. She said “You wanted to go in and change people’s perception of you. Do you think you’ve done that?” And she said “Oh, I don’t care,” or whatever, and I got annoyed, and I went “Well, you didn’t.” And that was mean. It was my own personal feelings, and she’s not a bad girl, and she’s a young girl, and I left, and I thought “That was a bit mean.” I’m not in the business of being mean – I want to get the best out of people, I want to get the truth out of people, I want people to reveal things about themselves, but I don’t want to be mean. And I haven’t watched Makosi’s interview back, but there was a bit of a furore about me being mean to her. When I left that interview, I thought she’d behaved worse than I had, but if I was mean to her as well I apologise for that. And one last regret – that the Kinga bottle incident ever made it to air.

How has Big Brother changed your life?

Oh God. Big Brother has been the biggest godsend for me and my career. It’s made me, in my work. I have also presented a couple of turkeys in my time that I have been presenting Big Brother, and going back to Big Brother has always made the nation forgive me quite quickly, and I’m so grateful for that. And I’ve made some lifelong friends, who I’ll be friends with forever. God, it’s so much more than a gameshow!

The following are questions sent in by members of the public for Davina to answer:


Dylan Mills: Are you going to make the last Big Brother go out with a bang?


Of course I am! It’s going to be massive. Massive, naughty, bad, great, good, evil, happy, fun, outrageous.

Sharon Forbes: I’ve got no doubt that you’re going to be extremely upset on the final night. During those last few minutes when you say goodbye to Big Brother forever, will you just let the tears flow, or are you going to try your hardest not to break down? Personally, I reckon you should just sob your heart out. I know I will.

You never know what’s going to happen, but my feeling is that I might cry in the day while it’s happening. I think I’ll probably do most of my sobbing either in the day or afterwards. When I found out that Big Brother was finishing, they’d called me and told me that week, and then it had been announced in the press a couple of days later. And was still a bit upset, and then I went out on Friday night, and I felt like the crowd gave a bit of an extra cheer when I walked out, before the cameras were rolling, and I had a little moment then, a little tear trickle down my face. It’s that support you feel from people.

Tony Dixon: Would you consider going back in the house this summer?

Yes, yes, yes! But they won’t have me, I’ve done it. But it was great! Tweet tweet.

EMMA WILLIS INTERVIEW

By Benjie Goodhart

This summer, for the final series of Big Brother’s Little Brother, George Lamb will be sharing presenting duties with Emma Willis. But the model-turned-TV-presenter won’t need lengthy briefings on the show’s subject matter – she’s something of a Big Brother obsessive. Here, she reveals why this is her dream job, what her favourite ever Big Brother moments are, and how her wedding almost had a Big Brother theme…

You’re presenting the new series of Big Brother’s Little Brother with George Lamb. You’re more than qualified to talk about Big Brother, aren’t you?


Yeah, I’m a bit of an obsessive Big Brother freak. From when it started, really. The first one, when Craig won, I got hooked then, and I’ve watched every single one since then – even year four, which not many people talk about.

Davina says she’s seen every single episode that’s ever been broadcast. How do you fare on that scale?

I’d say pretty much the same. I’m one of those people who tapes it when I go on holiday, and I catch up when I get back. I was pregnant when it was on last summer, and then after I gave birth it was pretty difficult to watch it, but I caught up. Even if I miss two weeks and then I watch it, I still watch the two weeks I’ve missed even if I’ve seen the latest episode. So I watch it back-to-front, but I have to see every episode.

So in all that time spent watching Big Brother, who have been your favourite housemates?

I really loved Alex Sibley, I thought he was a brilliant housemate. Kate Lawler was amazing, Brian Dowling was possibly the best housemate they ever had. Jade Goody had the most classic one-liners in the whole 11 years. I really loved the Stuart and Michelle romance, I thought Victor was brilliant, he really mixed things up. Nikki Grahame was brilliant. Last year I liked quite a few – Charlie I really liked, he was just a really nice guy. Nasty Nick – you can’t help but love the original baddie. And then Craig, for being the first winner, and winning it basically because he was a really nice guy.

Have there been any you didn’t like, for one reason or another?


I didn’t like Charley – she was just far too mouthy for my liking. Who else? I didn’t dislike Rachel at all, I just didn’t think she was a worthy winner. I don’t think she did enough to win. But there aren’t many who I’ve not liked.

What have been your favourite moments?

Alex Sibley behind the door, when he popped his collar up and started singing. Kate Lawler, when she was really drunk and tried to put loads of clothes on and fell over. And one of my favourite tasks was when Emma and Michelle went into that bedsit and watched everything. That was incredible. And I loved the boxes task, when they all had to stay in their boxes for as long as possible. The tree from Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year I thought was genius. There are so many to pick from.

Going back to your level of obsession with Big Brother – is it true you wanted to have a diary room at your wedding?

Yes! You know you have a book at your wedding where people write notes? I just thought it would be nice to have people record messages. But I didn’t do it because the marquee cost enough, and to add an extra room onto it was just extortionate. So it was purely a cost reason. But the guy who videoed our wedding, I did tell him I needed a Big Brother moment where he’d get people to record their messages. But I didn’t go the whole way and have a diary room. It would have been brilliant.

You and Matt have a baby daughter, Isabelle. How are you going to cope with the challenge of combining motherhood with all of your presenting duties?


We are really lucky as our families and friends can help out. I think I’ve just got to get her involved! I might even take her with me sometimes. She came up last summer with me, when I was a guest on Little Brother, and George was just brilliant with her. And she came up in January when I did Celebrity BBLB. So maybe she’ll become part of the Big Brother family too!

You’ve mentioned that you’ve been a guest on BBLB before. Will that make it easier, or just make it a bit weird?


I think I’ve been a guest on every series of Little Brother. It’s not weird. It’s my dream job. I couldn’t ask for any more. Being such a fan of the show, and now being a part of it was well – I’m just so overwhelmed and overjoyed. I hope it’s not too weird, I hope I can enjoy it as much presenting as I do being a guest on it, because it’s such a fun show. I’m so excited. And it’s going to be really nice working with George, I’m really looking forward to that. I’ve met him numerous times coming on the show, and we always get on really well. I screen-tested with him years ago for a different job, and we got on brilliantly. Can’t wait actually – he’s one person I’ve always wanted to do a show with.

You’ve presented Big Brother’s Big Mouth before. That show always looks like complete anarchy.

It is, but it’s so much fun, because you never know what’s going to happen. You don’t know what anyone’s going to say. And the people in there are die hard Big Brother fans, the people you really want to be debating the issue of the day with. I did a week a few years ago and loved it, and in January when Davina went into the house I stepped in for her. That was a real honour, to have her job for the evening. As a Big Brother fan it’s brilliant to do, because you’re surrounded by other Big Brother fans, and you can just have a crazy Big Brother evening together.

Loads of the TV stuff you’ve done over the years has been live. Do you enjoy the buzz of live TV?

I do. Working on TV full stop is fantastic, and I enjoy it immensely, but live TV is just great, because you never know what’s going to happen, it’s spontaneous, anything could go wrong at any point. You just don’t know what’s going to happen, and that uncertainty gives you a real buzz. You’re nervous, but that nervousness keeps you on your toes.

Have you had any horrifically embarrassing moments on live TV?

The worst one was when I was doing TRL [Total Request Live, on MTV] in Leicester Square with Dave Berry and Alex Zane. We were about to do a competition link where people won tickets to a movie premiere. We went to an ad break, and I had the opening line, and I was standing next to Dave, and I was checking that I had my cue cards and my tickets, and then in my ear they counted down “Five, four, three, two, one, cue Emma…” And I put my hand up to my mouth and started to speak, except that I’d forgotten the microphone, and there was nothing there. Dave just looked at me and pissed himself laughing. I was talking to my fist. As a presenter, you don’t have many things you have to remember. A microphone is quite important, though! I quite like things like that, though – it keeps it real.

Who’s the biggest star that you’ve interviewed in your TV work?


It’s got to be someone like Will Smith or Harrison Ford.

Have you interviewed anyone who’s been really awful?

Yes, I have, a couple of people. But I’m not going to mention any names, because maybe they were just having a bad day, and I caught them at a bad time. Everyone’s entitled to have a bad day once in a while. If someone’s being quite rude and doesn’t want to be there, I just ask my questions, spend the time there that I have to, be as polite as I possibly can, and leave as fast as I can.

What ambitions do you have left in TV?

My biggest ambition is just to do this [TV presenting] for as long as possible. This is what I want to do for my career now. Just to be able to stay in it. Any job is hard, especially at the moment, and to hold a job down in the current climate is my ambition at the moment.

Davina reckons she’s seen so much of Big Brother that she knows how to win it. If you were to go in as a housemate, how would you play it?

I dunno. It’s a tricky one, you can have a think about what games to play and how to come across, you can go in and try and get involved and be part of the storyline and really plan things out, or you can just go in and be yourself, and hope that’s enough. I think I’d probably just end up going in there and trying to be myself. A lot of it probably depends on who you’re in there with anyway. I always swore that I’d never go in the house, I love watching it but you’d have to be crazy to go in there. But then in January I got to actually go in the house filming for some online content, and I just found myself thinking “Oh my God, I want to be in here!”

Big Brother has been such a big part of your life. What will you do with your summer nights when it’s all over?

I dunno, man! Endemol and Channel 4 better come up with a new show, because I need something to watch. Either that or I’ll have to go on a really long holiday just to cope with the loss.

GEORGE LAMB INTERVIEW

By Benjie Goodhart

This summer, Big Brother returns for one last, loud and lengthy hurrah, and with it, as ever, is its cheeky and irreverent younger sibling, Big Brother’s Little Brother. At the helm once again will be George Lamb (alongside new presenter and Big Brother obsessive Emma Willis). Here, George looks forward to a fantastic summer, looks back on his favourite moments over the show’s history, and reveals why real men can still cry.

So, George, what can you reveal about what’s in store for us with the last ever Big Brother this summer?

There’s nothing I can tell you yet! What I do know is that they’re going to be pulling out all the stops with the show this year. I think the intention is to really push the boundaries of what we’ve seen before, and make the most of it and create something really special. Something that hopefully people will not have seen before. With that remit in mind, it goes right across the board to Little Brother and everything else. It’s the end of an era – arguably the most important TV format of all time – and it’s got to go out with an absolute humungous bang.

There are a few changes afoot on BBLB, aren’t there?


Yeah, the same thing applies to the show as to Big Brother – it’s going to be different this year. They’re completely ripping up the rule book. We’re not going to have a live audience, we’re not going to have loads of games, its going to go back a bit more to being a real behind-the-scenes look at the show. It will be the first port of call for real opinions and real inside info, and for the up-to-the-minute reports on what’s going on. In the past, my foil has often been the audience, and if they’re not there, me sitting there giving opinions on my own isn’t really going to run. So we’ve got Emma Willis coming on board to present the show with me. I love Emma, she’s fantastic, we’ve worked together brilliantly every time she’s come on the show, and I’m really looking forward to working with her and creating something fantastic. We’re going to have a lot of fun together.

What have bent her moments you’ve enjoyed the most on BBLB?


When you’re locked into BBLB it’s such an intense schedule, and you’re pushing so hard the whole time, you kind of pop out the other side and thing “Whoa, did that all just happen?” So my favourite bits are when, every year, at the end of the series, we do a best bits collage, and you get this quick-fire run-through of what’s happened during the series. So watching those often makes me well-up a little bit. That retrospective at the end of the summer is often my favourite bit – everything that’s gone on, all the funny people that have come on the show, the bits that have worked, the bits that haven’t worked, getting bitten by wolves, machines not working when they’re meant to, housemates running at the glass when you’re in the camera runs. That’s the nature of live television, and that’s what I love about it – the fact that it is so spontaneous and so bonkers and anything can happen. The unpredictable side of the show is what I love most about it.

One of the key elements of BBLB is the guests you have on. Who have been the best and worst that you’ve had on?


Lisa from Big Brother 9 came on – and she’s not the only one this happened to. People who go on Big Brother are often superfans to the nth degree. So when they find themselves on Little Brother, they can’t quite cope. They’re in some weird, surreal virtual world. You ask them a question, and they’re just sitting there taking it all in. They’re looking around them, seeing the wall of TVs, looking at something else, and they’re in a haze of wonderment. So they can’t really take in what you’re saying. That always makes for what you might call an ‘interesting’ interview. Boyz II Men were great, it was a lot of fun having them on – we got them all singing and getting involved, and they’d only turned up five minutes before, they had no idea what was going on. They were really good guys. Having Dirk Benedict on was pretty cool, because I always wanted to be Face when I was growing up. So that was a pretty cool experience. And I love having Iain Lee and Rick Edwards on, I really enjoy working with them.

You’ve mentioned the live element of the show, and the fact that anything can happen. Have you ever said anything or done anything that you wish you could change?


To be totally honest with you, that’s my job – to not say the wrong thing, and not buckle. If you’re going to be a proper television presenter, then you need to be able to do live properly, and there was nowhere in Britain I could have gained this kind of experience with such a cutting edge show. And I’ve now got 200 live shows under my belt, which at this stage in my career is pretty impressive. Watching myself from the first day I did it to how I do it now really is interesting. Things can be going wrong and falling down all around you, and your job as the presenter is to keep focus and make sure everything’s cool, keep a calm head. More often than not, everything’s going absolutely fine, but when you earn your money is when things are going wrong.

So do you think you’ve improved as a presenter having gained all that experience?

Yeah. I think in life you have to improve and evolve all the time. It would be pretty disappointing if you just stayed at the same level. Wayne Rooney has been a world class footballer for donkey’s years now, but this season he’s really come into his own and he could be the best in the world. So even those guys who are absolutely at the pinnacle of their game still have to push it on. I hope I keep improving, I hope I get twice as good as I am now. Nothing beats experience. You’ve got to put the time in and have things go wrong. There’s no substitute for that.

In Celebrity Big Brother, Davina snuck into the house. Would you like to do that, and if so, what costume would you wear?

I’d probably have to go in as a massive sheep/lamb thing – I know it’s super-basic, but that’s okay. Or maybe a giant bow tie. I’d love to go in there, and who knows what we’ll do on the last run.

You’ve said before that you’ll probably shed a tear when Big Brother comes to an end this year. Will you do that on screen?

Let’s hope so – a real tear-jerker. I’m pretty in touch with my emotions – crying’s just a release of tension, and I don’t have a problem with it. Anything you put your heart and soul into in life, when I comes to an end it’s sad. There’s a natural progression, and shutting one door will allow another to open, but it’s still sad. I was sad when I moved from weekdays to weekends on the radio – even though I’d decided to do it – I was crying on air when we did that, because it had been such a big part of my life. And it’s pretty much the same team on Big Brother and on Little Brother every year, so you become family. It’s the end of an era, so of course it will be sad.

Have you given any thought yet to what you’ll say when you sign off for the last time?

Not a sausage. I’ve got about 14 weeks to figure it out. I’ll hopefully come up with something wonderfully profound. Watch this space.

What’s been the best thing about presenting BBLB?

The best thing has been being part of something that’s as significant as Big Brother – it’s a world-recognised leader of conceptual television, and to be part of anything like that is fantastic. It’s a phenomenon, and to have been part of that and to have played just a small part in it has been a real honour. And I’ve got to work with some incredible people. It’s been such a lovely adventure, I’m gutted it’s coming to an end. But we’ve got one more summer to go, so let’s make the most of that.

Thats so crap, not even the press pack say anything interesting, even news on the launch would have been decent, we got NOTHING. And it said "BIG news".... my ass.

They’re completely ripping up the rule book. We’re not going to have a live audience, we’re not going to have loads of games, its going to go back a bit more to being a real behind-the-scenes look at the show.
Reckon this is a good thing?

No wonder people blame them for the shows demise, waste of time that was for lots of people. C4 can't wait to get shot of the show really IMO.

This.

All it said was the usuall crap, 'Expect the unexpected' and 'Out with a bang' and 'For the final ever time' and 'Its going to be the best series ever!!'

God, provide us with proof to back this up.

I bet it will fail like BB10.

I'm quite excited after reading the interviews. Got a bit teary over the question posed to Davina about how she'll react on the final night.

Still, I'm pissed how IBB hyped it up to be something 'really interesting and exciting', when it wasn't. Yeah, 'BB news' would've sufficed, but don't hype it up to be something it's not.

LMAO at Davina's last part..

'Tweet Tweet!'

Does anyone remember Makosi's interview?
What happened in it that was mean?

I can't remember it but it sounds like there was a hell of alot of tension between them two?

What was said that came across as mean?

I'd like to know too. I've searched on YouTube but can't find anything. Davina seemed a bit p**sed off at her too by the sound of that interview.

Why can't you guys just wait to be surprised? All this desperation to know stuff. You dont need to know anything about whats gonna happen, frankly. Youre like spoilt kids approaching christmas.

Patience...you gotta have..patieeeeeeeence.

Kingas' wine bottle escapades were a memorable part of BB6. Glad they left them in. I can still remember being sat there going "What....the....."

Yet it was a big ratings failure. When Endemol have a show they want to flog to another network they do not want another BB with ratings like last year.

From what I remember she just didn't really laugh along with Makosi, her mannerisms and voice tone just made it clear she wasn't a Makosi fan. And the crowd were really ripping in to her on that stage but Davina didn't really defend Makosi.
Whether you love her or hate her, she was a big part of BB6 and deserved to be heard, like all housemates, on their eviction interview.
Think Adelle BB3 crowd reaction plus how Davina interviewed Jo in CBB5
