The only other reason I ever watch Channel 5 is for the Hotel Inspector, so if they want their "own shows" like Flop or Break and Benefit programmes, they can dig themselves their own graves. Who even watched Channel 5 before it got it's hands on Big Brother? All they ever used to show were crime programmes like CSI and NCIS.

I didnt, actually i did briefly for a few weeks while they aired Once Upon A Time but they dropped that and it went to netflix so i stopped watching again.

I'd see it more as Burberry
Used to be classy and elegant and now you see it on chavs so you feel awkward about looking at their stuff in the shops because you're like 'do I look like a chav' and put it back on the shelf

That sounds like he's saying they'll end up having to renew it just because it's so valuable. What an odd thing to say though

They could have easily announced that next year's series would be last but they didn't. Weird.

[supertv247]

So he doesn't want it, and he doesn't like it, but he likes the ratings it gives him so he keeps it.

He doesn't ****ing deserve it

[RileyH]

'but I like the ratings'

There were rumours going around that Channel 4 want Frow to take over when Jay Hunt leaves....

I wouldn't hire him to work in ASDA.

[Greg!]

Omg. A mess if he's trying to sabotage Channel 5 by getting rid of its biggest show before he moves to C4

[AProducer'sWetDream]

Not Ben Frow being a secret BB fan all along and this being a long ploy to get the show back to C4?

'We don't want it on Channel 5' because he wants to take it with him?

^ Sounds to me like they're going to try a more American style format? I wouldn't mind if I had any faith that they wouldn't mess it up.

It can't just be the format that changes. The senior production team needs a complete overhaul.

Well I’m excited for BB19 if there’s REAL format changes x

'yr' oh god

But I don't want them to copy the American format, be more original.

[supertv247]

I love these conspiracy theories

[supertv247]

Someone at C5 said BB is like painting the Fourth Road Bridge... Once they've got to the end, they need to start again and revitalize it

[BBUK-Fan]

"More innovation for the format"

No outside contact.
No favouritism.
Proper shopping tasks.
No backdoor evictions

[BBUK-Fan]

At the time, Channel 5's chief operating officer Paul Dunthorne said: "Big Brother in all its guises brings a huge and varied cross section of viewers to Channel 5, and typifies the appointment-to-view programming we want on the channel."

Then why get rid of it??

[RileyH]

who knew TV producers could be so thick?
