OK then. BB3 has finished. Yes, I am in official mourning, as predicted. And yes, they did c-ock it up this year Big Time.

BB1 was the first to make me wish for more. BB2 made me wonder why. Why? Yes. Why is it only on for 64 days in a year! One thing we all agree on is we love the format. Though BB3 clearly lost its way, and made us all very frustrated.

So here is my idea. Please treat it gently. Its an only child.

Since we (mostly) watch at least one or more "soaps" which run for 52 weeks in a year, why not Big Brother.

Bare with me.....................!!!! LOL

Firstly, all the other BB's run longer than ours, and secondly, we all, I reckon, prefer BB to most, if not all, soaps.

So, suppose we extended BB4 to run for say 3 months. About the same as some other countries? Yes? Ok then.

If we started with 14 HM's and evicted as normal, job done.

With me so far?

Now here's the clever bit. We add a Housemate every fortnight and evict every fornight. The additions dovetailing with evictions, so that we have a weekly either Friday or Saturday night show.

Now extend to a rolling 52 weeks in a year.

A little fine tuning is required, as
a.) the tasks need to be on-going and properly thought out to take account of the seasons,
b.) when a couple wish to leave together (ala P and H) two replacements are introduced, and
c.) if one person becomes too popular, they have to retire ( be "killed off") as a champion. This would be after, say, 64 days, with a cash prize of, say, £70,000!

Job done!
