Personally, I will Sky+ Junior Apprentice, but meh. There's replays of them both as well, so not much of a biggie.

People, name a UK series in the last 10 years that has been recommisioned by another channel?

I rest my case.

If C4 cancelled it in it's prime then it could have been picked up by another channel but it's been a dead horse for years now with ratings. Seriously, enjoy this series but don't put your hopes up for anything for a few years at least. You'll only set yourself up for disapointment because it WON'T get picked up by another channel. It makes no sense, the ratings are down the public are generally apathetic and it takes up a lot of valuable airtime to do. Nobody with a sane business mind will pick it up.

But that wasn't cancelled in the last ten years, that was more of a revival rather then a pick up. The only example I can think of are Futurama and Family Guy but they're both american examples and don't apply to UK Broadcasters.

Im worried...

Most homes can record the BBC
while watching the Live Start of BB11

So it is no problem.

daniel-lewis-1985 · 06-06-2010, 03:54 PM

WTF?!

Its very important to have good ratings this year. As a BB fan i want the show to be huge this summer and go out with a bang!

I wanna prove all those people wrong who says noone gives a f u c k about BB anymore

Im a true fan therefor want BB to be succesfull

iRyan · 06-06-2010, 03:58 PM

There is too much negativity going on.

Never say never....

In the end, ratings = money. Press attention does not matter. As long as a show gets great ratings, a channel WILL want it because it means more money for them.

daniel-lewis-1985 · 06-06-2010, 04:00 PM

People need to stop comparing the ratings to ears ago. Just coz the ratings are down doesnt mean they are s h i t!

A show that attracts millions of viewers is gonna appeal to any channel especially someone like channel5 or a sky channell who never even gets close to say the 6 million cbb7 got!

FACT!

You're not taking into account that the circulation and budget for these channels are less then C4. Even if they did want to pick it up it wouldn't get as good ratings as C4 does and it would be done on a shoestring budget.

Just let it die people, Chances are it'll come back eventually after a rest.

Jordan. · 06-06-2010, 04:03 PM

I wouldnt be too worried BB will get more ratings

It's only a BB site for 3 months a year, half the regulars don't stay here for BB.

JohnnyBB · 06-06-2010, 04:06 PM

He's been here longer then you so he just hasn't popped on to piss you off. The fact is that a lot of the regulars stay on for the non BB topics rather then BB, Gary's a fan but he's ultimately realistic. Enjoy this series but don't put your hopes up for a renewal because there's been more profitable shows that have been cancelled without a pickup by another channel.

Enjoy this series for what it is.

You are pathetic for being so deluded about the Show...
There are no Rules here that state " you have to arse lick Big brother to be a member of the forum "
