What changes (whether they be new or reversions) would you like to see introduced to a revived Big Brother on a new platform?

I think, personally, detail is what matters and defines a show that is so driven by a core, cult following. With this in mind, any network looking to adopt BB has to be prepared to care about the format and it's intricacies. That said, the show does need refreshing, too. A balance is needed.

I would firstly end the Marcus narrations and possibly have Emma (or a new presenter) narrate the show in a more documentary-like style. I would also lean on the voice of Big Brother more. Marcus bellowing on eviction nights has become cringe-worthy and parodying - as his involvement overall, truthfully.

I would also look to change the live show format. I don't know how exactly the format could be changed, but I would start with possibly removing the audience. Or at least scaling back the audience and placing the set-up in a more sophisticated inside studio. The show needs to feel less tacky and brash. It has to go back to it's experiment roots - and I think scaling back the audience and set would help to reflect this.

It could be an interesting idea to have the live shows start from within an inside studio with a panel of guests / presenters. The show is introduced as usual by a main presenter (with a small audience), and the panel are seen in sight and watch the highlights show as we see it. When a contestant is evicted, they come out into this set-up and receive questions from the main host, and the panel too. It could expand on the concept of a social experiment, with participants being more fully analysed upon their exit.

The show could then transition very easily into an after-show that elaborates on what has happened - perhaps in a different studio for differentiation, and with a different presenter obviously.

A smaller, inside studio does not have to feel regressive or less exciting. The studio should be high-tech, super modern and interestingly designed. A lot of camera feeds should be projected on walls, and maybe crew members could be seen running the show. This could help to shift the focus back to the concept of experimentation. The audience should include true fans of big brother, but also family and friends of contestants... less of the filler audience members.

What do you think?
