Exclamation Back To Reality: The last time Channel 5 did Big Brother...
It went from 1.8m viewers to 700,000 in one night.

Does anyone remember a reality show on c5 a few years ago with Jade Goody, Nast Nick etc? It was called Back To Reality. It was almost exactly like Big Brother and it starred ex housemates and celebs. The outside of the house looked pretty epic too, it looked like a mansion.

Possibly, I've forgotten most of the contestants but this does sound right.

I could be wrong but i seriously dont think it would. All the die hards will probs continue watching but a good chunk of the channel 4 audience will stop. Cant actually pinpoint why, but for me theres something about CH5 that is just off putting. Everything feels cheap and tacky on 5.

lol exactly. I flick through channels 1-4, then various sky channels. 5 is always missed out, never anything good on it.

^ This.

It says on the wiki article that the main reason the show failed was lack of tabloid interest, well with Desmond owning the Daily Star, Ok & New magazine I doubt that would happen

That show was epic.

Jade Goody was vile on it, horrible cow. Poor Rik Waller is all I can say (never thought I would!)
