Big Brother moving to Channel 5

Reality show Big Brother will return to television screens later this year after Channel 5 signed a two-year deal with its creator, Endemol.

The series will begin with a celebrity version in the summer followed immediately by another featuring members of the public.

The show was axed in 2009 by Channel 4, which broadcast the final series last August.

Channel 5 said it was "hugely excited" to have secured the deal.

The series will continue to be filmed at its old home, Elstree Film Studios in Hertfordshire.

Channel 5 said Big Brother would form "a key part" of its TV schedule.

"The series has previously captivated a decade of television viewers," said Jeff Ford, Channel 5's director of programmes.

"We aim to bring Channel 5's energy, optimism and vibrancy to the series."

Presenter Davina McCall has previously ruled out returning to host the show.

Speaking at the National Television Awards in January, she said: "I think Big Brother has got legs and any channel that picks it up would be a very lucky channel.

"But I don't think I'll go back to it. I think I've said goodbye."

The show, which had been broadcast by Channel 4 since it began in the UK in 2000, was dropped after director of television Kevin Lygo said the show "had reached a natural end point".

Big Brother was a hit with viewers in its early days but had suffered from falling ratings in recent years.

The finale of the last series was seen by an average of 4.1 million people - around half of the audience that watched the show in 2002.


The report is dated April the 6th this year, but I only just found out after someone mentioned it on the book of face.

I just thought I ought to warn people.

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I dunno, the fact they've rounded them up all in a single place makes it easier to exterminate them....

I gets worse though, it could be that "Chelsea shore" show or whatever it's called.

EDIT: Made in Chelsea, just seen an ad for it. My heart weeps for this species.

I blame BB for singlehandedly making every single announcer, on every single channel be geordie. A crime of such magnitude there can never be reconciliation.

Plus the program itself is the mutant stillborn offspring of all that is wrong with the world.

Why? WHY WHY WHY?

Right. That's it. Stuff culling Badgers, it's high time we culled the readers of moronic 'celeb gossip' mags, the sort that drive people to be on Big Brother, so they too can be famous for feth all and transmit every second of their tawdry existence in a shameless whoring.

Blech. Not for me ta. TF for all my lovely Dr Who VHS.

We could always just shell the house every time a 'contestant' is released so we can hopefully kill of the viewer base fairly quickly.

Nah.

Runningman style explosive collars get my vote. Just imagine how much better the world could have been had the announcement been...

'Jade, you have been voted out of the Big Brother House. You now have 30 seconds......to live'

Even better if you leave the corpses in the house for the survivors to deal with. Soon see how desperate for fame these chimps are then what?

I really thought this was going to be about some new over the top security measure being put in by someones government, I have absolutely no idea what you guys are talking about, but I feel that my sympathy and condolences should be going right about now, unless it was like that show on Dr. Who, where it was a house with cameras everywhere...where people got killed, I loved that episode...

If only it were a snuff film... Though give the level of mental activity that some of the "contestants" operate at it would be quite difficult to tell when they were actually dead...

Now that's good television.

You all have so many guns yet nobody has decided to 'deal' with the Jeresy Shore problem yet? I am disappointed.
