Soon enough, they're starting with the extensions.

[Glenn.]

Maybe once it’s gone people will just move on

[Marsh.]

I bet Rylan's glad he has that parking space now.

I doubt it, even with pictures like this people are still denying the house is being ripped down.

[Marsh.]

When did they have the lease for the house until (before it was axed obviously)?

[Glenn.]

I thought they extended it to a couple of years?

[Marsh.]

So they haven't been forced to take it down then as they still have the lease for the land?

So, either a) They've decided to rip the house down anyway or b) They've decided to end the lease and therefore need to dismantle everything.

Either way, it isn't looking good for those supposed "discussions" some people still say they're having. Obviously not going very well.

Yeah I don't understand what the point in applying for a three year extension was (as opposed to a one year originally) if they were just gonna demolish it anyway

[Greg!]

I'm going to be sad when they tear down the actual house. All the TV history and legendary moments that happened in that building

Having said that if it ever comes back they need a new location

So, when they got their three year extension it was to retain the Big Brother House for a further three years - but without a production and no Big Brother in the foreseeable, Elstree are wanting the space back, which is completely fair enough. Most likely going to allow The Crown to extend their production and sets, considering it's already right behind where Big Brother is now.

Talks are happening with Netflix, or have happened and are being thought on, and I know that a move for Big Brother was already on the cards if the show actually got renewed anyway. The house at Elstree was completely unfit for purpose, being inside there and in the camera runs it was basically help up by tape at this point. It was damp, cold and was just patched up everywhere, bit of a nightmare overall. It's also basically costing more to keep the house up than it is to get rid of it.

If Big Brother does come back, don't expect to see a purpose built house like this. We're most likely going to be getting a Love Island style set up or a Big Brother Canada "house in a warehouse" feel, which is cheap and easy to produce, without hefty maintenance costs.

[Marsh.]

Why would they extend for three years if they wanted to move location even if channel 5 renewed?

[reece(:]

A mess that they can spend thousands/millions revamping the interior but can't improve the camera runs to be less of a stable.

It was on the cards to move. A renewal really doesn’t mean much at all. It just gave them the choice to stay if they wanted too

[zrc]

They've been removing the house since the last series ended. Its old news. Just like the show.
