Default Dom Joly: 'Channel 5 will ruin Big Brother'
Just read this on DS

Dom Joly has told Digital Spy that he suspects Channel 5 will ruin Big Brother.

The TV comic and I'm A Celeb contestant, who was a regular guest on Big Brother spinoff shows during the Channel 4 years, said that the new series would probably be just more "stupidity and breasts".

"I think [Big Brother] will be ruined by Channel 5 if I'm honest. I don't think it will be the same without Davina [McCall]. I think it will become a conveyor belt for OK magazine to produce instant freaks, put them in the mag and then churn them out," he said.

"I expect even more stupidity and breasts. I thought it had reached its maximum breast stupidity level and I did think the last series was the best ever, but... just leave it."

I'm surprised he was a fan of the show tbh. I thought he was someone who would rip into a show like this.

Lots of BB fans are BB fans largely because it's so much fun to rip into.

I had high hopes 5 might just shelve this for a season or two and return with something more sophisticated, purist and really aim for something like the original 'serious' social experiment.
It 'appears' (so far) this is going to be another freaks and breasts idiot 'Puerile Pool Party' shock show.

I'm really sorry if that is what happens.

He's probably on to something, after all, C5 isn't known for its sophistication, and the Daily Star, let's not even go there, but it's really a matter of whether you find "dumbing down" dumb or exciting.

Because it seems like the new BB could be very dumb indeed...

He's not ripping into it. I'd agree with him that Big Brother ended for a reason on C4. We had ten years of it and it was tired at the end.


It needed a break and it hasn't had one.

Did you read my post?

I said I was surprised he wasn't ripping into it, I didn't think he'd be a fan of the show.

Nothing wrong with a bit of trash TV. We always complain it's too boring, let's have sex, tears and fights!!!

Channel 4 and Davina did a pretty good job at ruining Big Brother a long time ago...

Agreed.

Dom Joly is talking out of his arse. Big Brother was ruined on Channel 4. Especially from series 10 with a major stupid decision of cutting the 24 7 live feed.

BB11 best ever?? Errrr. No.

I agree with him that we shouldn't just have stupid/big breasted people in there. Sure the odd one but we need fiery, intelligent, entertaining personalities!

Channel 5 won't ruin it. It's a fresh start whatever they do with it. Times have changed and the show has got to move on.

Apart from 3 things.. Marcus Bentley, the eye and hopefully the 24 7 live feed stay the same!! Woo. Especially the live feed......

I love when dopey BB fans get dopey because someone criticized their precious show.

He is entitled to his opinion. And it's a fair point of view. It's entirely plausible Channel 5 will piss in it's grave.
