Oh ok, I'd rather it be 9 weeks. Though saying that, I get sick of it after a while

[Glenn.]

13 weeks is the norm now isn't it. Has been since BB7.

[MB.]

It hasn't been 13 weeks since BB10.

[Phillip!]

They'll probably extend it knowing C5

[elliebrew]

cAN SOMEONE POST THE DOCUMENT IMAGES??

[Matt]

These planning applications were submitted in July 2013 and approved in September 2013, and civilian Big Brother was still ten weeks long last year (same length as all C5 series), so they aren't specifically proof that C5 is planning to cut the length of BB this year

[Rob!]

Has it been confirmed exactly how long the gap is going to be? If it's a good few weeks it surely gives them the opportunity to extend it if it goes well?

probably 4 weeks, if its starting early May and for 8 weeks then it finished early July, and CBB starts mid august so 4-6 week gap maximum probably.

I don't think it will start in Early May.
If it did, the eye would've been revealed by today.

I genuinely think it's launching the week after, around 13-14th May.
It hasn't been confirmed that it's an 8 week series. They probably want it to be 8 weeks, but I hope it's not.

If it is ten weeks, then the series will end in late July, presuming it launches on the 13/14th, then I guess there would be a 3 week break.

4-6 week gap is really big. I think a 2-4 week break is more than enough, considering it used to launch about 2-3 days after the civilian, in the last few years.

Here's the most interesting image in the documents:

omg is that a BB8 style runway?!!!

[Jamesy]

Just reading through the documents and the whole 8 weeks thing isn't solid fact. It states that C5 is interested in an 8 week civilian series, but it is by no means set in stone. The series could well be longer than that.

[MB.]

Could you give a link to these documents? (...well, a working one...)

That link should work (hopefully)

[Will.]

oh I thought it was a BB8 style house, mis red it was exterior! Thats awesome that were getting a new exterior stage, going to watch BB8 launch to see what it looked like.

[MB.]

And I'd love it if they did go with a BB8-style exterior set. Actually, I'd just love it if they just changed the exterior set.

[Jack_]

ew the BB8 walkway was vile, but I guess any change at this point will be good

Hopefully they'll move the dome set to the left hand side, or better still get rid of it completely

Oh and an 8 week series would be pathetic, I am so sick of C5 putting the civilian show on the back foot

Did you not like it? I loved it it was so different to all the others.

It didn't work too great at the time, but if they shorten it a little and play music over the evictions like they do these days, I think it could be quite a good idea. Quite.

The BB8 exterior was amazing.
I really liked it then, and I think it would work great with Channel 5.
It was a bit awkward, back in 2007, as they never used to have music, so if you were booed, you'd have to face the noise for much longer.

It would work great for Channel 5, though, as it will look good with the music, and for the celebrity series, they can make the walkway red to symbolize the red carpet, like they do with the current catwalk.

I wonder how it'll work though, if it does change. Doesn't that mean they will need to scrap the eye stage?, as the stairs will be in the way. They could move the eye stage to the other side, like BB5 and the BB8 final.

I really hope they do change the exterior.
Time for something fresh. It's boring have the same thing since 2011, especially with 3 series per year.

yeah, it would take that much work to change it, the eye stage looks temporary and not a proper structure, maybe they will bring the cars back?

And Davina actually making the effort to climb up those stairs and walk along the long walkway, just to get her.

Imagine, if it had been a year earlier, and a heavy pregnant Davina actually having to go and get her.

[Jamesy]

Yeah the BB8 walkway was awful at the time. It would work well for C5 though if they ever make changes to the exterior. The added countdown and music would suit a long walkway.
