Big Brother UK scrapped after 2010 season.

There is a god. There is also panic in C4 no doubt about what the hell they'll fill the hours with.

I never watched it for a second this time,and you can be sure they will find something as useless to fill in for it.

Buíochas le Dia! Although the article does say:

However, Big Brother is unlikely to disappear from UK TV screens, with another broadcaster expected to step in to pick up the rights from Endemol.

I'd have thought SKY would be a perfect fit as they have recently started producing more shows in the UK.

Highlights program on Sky1 in the evenings, Sky2 or 3 for the BBLB type programs and for the livefeeds.

And they would be less bashful than C4 about plugging it on their their news bulletins so SkyNews could play a role in it as well.

LONG LIVE BB.

Big Brother has done absoultely nothing positive for society or to enhance peoples minds

We are subjected to over egotistical melons each year who then believe they are "celebrities" when they leave a house with camereas in it

People who watch this show are telly addicts and will eat up any rubbish put in front of them - its great to see the viewing figures dropping as this shows the true substance to the show

lostexpectation

another year jeez

The show has definately had its day. The first couple of series were ok and pretty interesting, but I stopped watching a few years ago.

Wasn't ITV rumoured to be interested in picking it up a few years back when there was talk of CH4 dropping it? The format has gone as far as it can go.

My god you are cluelss, its meant to be entertainment not create world peace, it entertains me and millions of other people.

If you dont like it, dont watch it, simple.

You are being narrow minded and condescending, dont tell me what kind of person i am at all, you havent a notion what you are talking about.

Mr E

Big Brother in its current format needs a complete revamp. Fly-on-the-wall coverage with extrovert housemates, no strategy, random humiliating challenges and public voting is past its shelf life.

American networks realised this after one single season of the UK format, so they changed it. It has gone from strength to strength (and 10 seasons in the vastly improved and more interesting format to prove it wasn't a fluke).

Seraphicblue

why? does the US format allow the voting public to relase hungry leopards into the house?
because thats watchable.
How long can the housemates survive when they have to wear a belt of steak!

Julian Bellamy,senior administrator at Channel 4,announced today that the monies released by the programme's closure will be used to produce more home grown creations:documentaries,film,drama,comedy etc........at which they are quite good.Great move and about time!:)

Well, my summer has been pretty chaotic following a study period in France and then having to sit exams, so I didn't get to see this series at all and I don't really see the point in watching it from this point.

I do think, being the long standing HMod of this forum (which started off as Big Brother) that the C4 format has indeed been tired out for a long while. While the show itself is good, the concept for our series is no longer entertaining to the masses. I have to say, been expecting this news for a while myself. Anyone who says they haven't I don't believe.

I expressed an opinion - you dont like it then dont read it, like I practice not watching big brother

You didnt, you showed your ignorance by making 2 ridiculous statements.

Mr E

Lets keep it friendly, folks.

One can only hope that no other TV network would want to pick up this tripe though probably some network will with the intention of "reinventing" it.

Canis Lupus

BB1= Unique

BB2= Fun

All other BB = C4 getting loads of keeerazy people and hoping that because they're so keeeerazy then controversy will happen. Instead BB became full of fame obsessed, annoyingly keeerazy wannabies watched only by people who rate Heat magazine as essential reading. I had a sneaky feeling this year that due to the absolute lack of talk about the show that it would vanish and I wouldn't have to keep remembering to not channel surf through C4.

On the flip side it might just be an attempt to drum up ratings for next year. Who knows....

If they do it'll run for one season and then be axed!
