Hopfully I loved BB5 and it was all about sex and fighting.

This Big Cash from King Desmond

It is understood that Big Brother will return to its traditional schedule in 2012 – running the celebrity show in January, before reappearing with the traditional group of wannabes in the summer months. That would mean an almost continuous run of Big Brother programmes – running night after night – on Channel 5 from August to January.

OVERKILL

Ł200m? Is that more than the final contract C4 had with Endemol? I never thought it'd be that much, **** me

[DigitalSid]

The September series is 13 weeks meaning just a few weeks between BB12 and CBB9 (CBB8 airing immediately before BB12), massive overkill, hope CBB9 doesn't launch till the end of January if true.

No, well, yes, Ł20 million more, but it's for five years, so works out at 40 mill a series rather than the 60 C4 paid.

Exactly what I saw

[Tony1111]

Yep 200 Million Divide that over 10 shows and we'd get a rough house bufget.

We Need Rough.



Keep It Real.

[Tony1111]

I mean rough as in estimated.

It's be 20,000,000 budget per series if it was divided equally.

It's probably divided around 60/40 (celebs cost a lot but I imagine hiring the George Lucas Stage and 300 odd staff for 3 months costs more).

Though I should point out, a fraction of Endemol's fee actually pays for the show, 5 million of the 60 million per year they got from C4 was actually used on the (summer) series.

So the budget shouldn't be affected at all by the move.

Oh I get you now, thanks. Let's hope the quality of the show won't be affected too much or anything

The quality of the "show" will, inevitably, be tawdry and titillating .....

It shouldn't be affected at all, only 5 million of that 60 million is actually spent on the show (the summer series anyway). Though C5 and Desmond's input will inevitably put pressure on them to make it worse.

If Channel 5 get Charlie Sheen and they probably good given his current state then there will be so much publicity.

King Desmond has a Great Cash Deal for him.

[Tony1111]

He also had one for Peaches and Cheryl.
