BBXtra are claiming that a show called the Landlord is to air on Sky 1 with the same format as Big Brother WITH a live feed. The Show is according to them, to be set in a House built at Elstree Studios.

Sky are to launch a Brand New reality show in March, in what is seen as head to head with Big Brother.

But most importantly it will feature live feed something channel 5′s Big Brother gave up on.



15 Celebs and 4 regular tenants will enter for series 1 of The Landlord, the show will broadcast from the 31st March 2011.

The house will built on set at Elstree Studios, Hertfordshire and feature many similar things to the Channel 5′s Big Brother almost identical entrance into the house.

... Lies?

Since the March 31st has already been, I'm assuming that is either a typo or this is false.

Typo, as the Article was only published today.

[Locke.]

Sounds a bit better than Big Brother

[BB IS ALIVE]

Sounds highly unlikely to me. Lies.

There is a genuine casting call but unless Endemol are the producers I can't see Sky getting away with this without a huge legal bill

If its true then good news,but what a rubbish name for a TV show.

[emmetmcl]

I doubt it.

Surely if Sky were creating a show like this it would been reported by reputable outlets and since it is only 3 months away (supposedly) there would be some kind of advertising or rumours.


Bull**** I say.

Also, calling it the landlord makes it seem like a TOTAL rip off. If they were to do this, I dont think they would call it after the boss, or Big Brother, in this case the Landlord.

Hmm, if PEJ (former BB producer) is head of entertainment at Sky maybe this is going to happen?

Still doubt it though

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Ive applied for it.

Just in case people arent sure, anyone can create an account and post a listing.

If Sky were going to do this wouldnt they advertise on TV, unless its not a Sky production but just airing on sky.

all im saying is, anyone could have posted that listing, it could have been BBXtra himself.

[emmetmcl]

Hmm, seems Tinie Tempah and Pixie Lott are set to do the show.

The images here: https://twitter.com/#!/TheLandlordTV...com%2FdGfa4X8b are blurred by TheLandlord. Apparently these people will appear on the show.

When I pasted the images into Google images the results came back as Tinie Tempah and Pixie Lott.

Have a look for yourself:

Not to be a spoil sport but wouldn't rumours of "proper celebs" like these have surfaced in newspapers?

Also, wouldn't they have taken their own pictures as opposed to ones lifted straight from Google images?

[Tregard]

Twitter stuff looks amateur, like, really amateur, too amateur to be legitimate. I'd be surprised if this show was real.

[DigitalSid]

It's fake, someone asked Sky 1. They've deleted their twitter

1) "Back due to popular" demand... err?

2) "We thought we'd do another series". Yes, because that's how comission a second series works.

3) Casting for a little reality show a year plus in advance?

4) There is no such publicaiton as "TOP Magazine"

Sky1 confirmed it's not them and the account suddenly changed name, got a different website and is now apparently being presented by Ant and Dec on ITV . Whoever's made this up is , we think it's BBHB as it was their old twitter account the show was using, they have the same facebook theme and apps and they were petitioning to get their BB fans site made into a spin-off by Channel 5 :

They're a friend of the person they were claiming was presenting it and they had fooled someone from Geordie Shore into thinking he was in it .

Pity it's not real...competition might have prompted channel 5 to try a bit harder!
