Channel 5 to sign new 5 year Big Brother deal soon

[Jack_]

Not sure whether this is good or bad news, to be honest. Being on such a small channel would probably just drive the ratings into the ground even more, and then the chances of it coming back in the future are therefore even slimmer.

this question sounds strange but what are they like? i mean are they all strict and snobby or will they be more lenient if they do get big brother? lots of people complaining about lack of booze this year, would C5 give them more booze? or am i just being stupid lol is it the actual channel ie C4 or C5 or the company ie endemol that decides on all that stuff? im asking because not many people watch C5 so they have nothing to lose if they make the show really controversial and pick really crazy people

[ILoveTRW]

Yay then they can kill the show even more and then it will never come back.

He says in that report:

"Big Brother is a well-known reality brand, but it's tired and so there are other reality programmes that could be more value to Channel 5."

that doesnt sound too promising

I'd love to see what that comment about buying BB is based on

[billy123]

the only quote from him about big brother is the one ive posted above.

[GiRTh]

If you've never watched it dont bother.

It'll do a good job IMO but it wont be the same. We need to savour this series cuz if 5 get it it wont look much like it does now.

Endemol produce the show, so as far as I'm aware, they have control over what housemates are chosen, and how much alcohol they receive.

However, I'm sure there has to be some agreement between the production company and the broadcasting channel. So in the case of C4, they have probably told Endemol on numerous occasions not to provide too much alcohol incase something controversial happens. Don't forget, C4 will always review the shows to ensure they are happy with what they are going to broadcast.

Five in theory should be more lenient, but then again they're a smaller channel and thus have a smaller budget...so I'm not sure how that would affect Endemol.

next years looking good

I was meaning the comment in the Scotsman.

[the-gaffer]

Channel 5 is Channel 4 with less morals which before Channel 5 came along was pretty much considered impossible

where has that been reported? where is that quoted from?

[Shiner]

Couldn't really do a worse job that the divs running it just now.

[vesavius]

After this series I am now thinking it's better that it just dies.

[the-gaffer]

I'd really love Channel 5 to take it over and run it properly, the way it was supposed to run back in 2000 when it debuted.

It became a shortcut to the London Party Scene after the second series, I want it to return to the social experiment it was supposed to be when they first aired it 10 years ago

[brian3]

One good thing is we might not get Davina

[billy123]

im still waiting for a source the op is conveniently not answering me.

that link doesnt say he plans to put big brother on c5 either?

his only quote on big brother remains big brother is tired and their are reality shows that could be better options.

dont get me wrong i hope it does find a new home but posting threads proclaiming big brother is saved and has found a new home then posting reports that are made up is not good.

Are you looking for the source of what the op quoted in the first post or the source for where the media got it from?

Chinese whispers?

Yup.
The problem arises though, where to find HMs willing to participate in the show that aren't camera savvy or media *****s.

I want him to back up his claims in his first post that desmond intends to bring big brother to c5 but if the op could he would have done by now.
the only thing op has provided is a report that says he thinks there are better options than bb for c5.

More like childrens whispers i think why do people just make things up.
