Not that bothered about them staying outside - I reckon the stage area is perfect. The rotating bridge is genius. Could easily last a few years, and there's no reason why it shouldn't - they've clearly splashed quite a bit of cash on it, and it's not designed to be series specific.

Don't care that it's 'boxed in' either - Big Brother's no longer the draw that it once was and the sad reality is the crowds are smaller.

Agree on the staircase though - they should make that straight again because the curved one made for some awful camera shots.

The crowds arnt smaller due to lack of demand though. Hundreds of people get turned away every eviction due to it getting packed out.

They need a seperate studio for the interview, When Davina used to walk them up to GLS through the extended crowd it was so much more atmospheric.

Loved the stage last year but we need a change now and i want the housemates to walk through the crowd at ground level not upon a stage.

Hated the door, it looked like it was unfinished and like it allways had smudges from people touching it all the time lol.
