Just a general question regarding CBB adverts. When will they air if, there is any? I dont ever remember it being advertised during the Christmas period? Just wondered if anyone can shed any light on it?

[30stone]

Dont know but they dont seem to advertise so well anymore i the last 2 bbs i didnt even konw were on until 3 days before for one of them and one of them on the day.

[Matt]

No-one knows exactly when the ads will begin. However, they could begin very soon - the Hijack ads begun airing on the 13th December last year, and it's now the 14th...

[Glenn.]

So soon then hopefully?

Yeah. After all, it begins on January 2nd, so they've got no choice but to advertise over the Christmas period...

[Glenn.]

Cool. Looking forward to a BB fix, im starting to shake uncontrollably. Think I may need help.

[Tom]

I guess during Peter Kay thing on Friday

[Brekkie]

That would be my bet too.

Well it isn't long now. It's ten days in a week.

[Spike]

My guess is Wednesday

[Rob]

im guessing tomorrow, weve got the press pack tonight, so the eyeflashes will begin!

[Spike]

Yeah maybe tomorrow then
I didn't realise how close the 10 day mark was until I read Markus' post so eye flashes should really be starting this week, idealy within the next 2 days
but maybe C4 are going to see if Big Brother will follow the trend of TV shows this year which is reduced advertising = Bigger ratings.

Im hoping its soon cant wait for BB to start, where can i read the press pack

[Jamie.....]

Probably very soon and if its in the christmas period eveyone will be watching tv to watch films and stuff so it will get more people to watch it

[Spike]

My guess is still tonight before Desperate Housewives
if not then I think it will be certain adverts will start Thursday

I've been reliably informed that they will start on Friday 19th December. The first one is currently planned to be shown during Britain's Got The Pop Factor 2 after 9pm, though they may show it before that.

I haven't believed a word you've said since you said that your 'insider' told you about Big Eyes, which someone then said that they'd made up over at DS.

[Redmond]

They'll start Boxing Day I think about a week before it starts. Plus people always say that the first advert will be during a big ratings pulling show but it hardly ever is, they are usually spotted between Friends or Hollyoaks repeats on E4.

Im guessing Saturday for some reason.

Good good. I don't expect anyone to believe me until it happens. Same thing happened over the summer. I told people what would happen, I got a backlash, then at the end I was always correct.

And as I've explained previously, there was always an intention to pilot a new programme. The name was going to be either: Big Eye, Big Shout, Big Agenda. This was due to George Lamb supposedly going to leave, but he's staying now.

The promos will start this Friday, I've heard, with the 9pm slot the favourite for its first airing.

There was never any intention though, the show was made up by Voodoo Child on DS.

There was an intention to make a new show, as I've explained. I don't know who this Voodoo Child is, but I do know what I'm told from a source is reliable.

My source has told me more info about this subject in the last few hours - Endemol were going to test out a pilot for a new programme which was going to air on the Internet. Some kind of Video Podcast which would last 20 mins or so. Endemol have recently been wanting to explore the Internet side of things, but ultimately this did not occur because of budget issues. The money was originally thought to be available to do such a show, because BBLB was supposed to be rested during CBB6.

BBLB was supposed to get rested during CBB6, with just BBBM. This is because George Lamb was not going to return and bosses wanted to take their time appointing a new host for a intended BBLB comeback during BB10. But since George Lamb's deal with ITV did not get fulfilled as orginally though, he decided to stay on BBLB. As a result no budget was available for the intended new programme.

Apparently there is going to be a advert for Big Brother during Dancing On Ice on Xmas day.
If the adverts don't start this week then its time to start worrying at the ratings because C4 doesn't pull big audience from Xmas to New Year.

Voodo Child is a member on the Digital Spy forums who has contacts at Endemol, he created 'Big Eyes', made it up, completely fabricated and then got one of his contacts at Endemol to send a fake emails out about 'Big Eyes' to get people talking. It may be likely you got one of those emails but either way there was never a Big Eyes it was all totally made up.
