They were (and still are) such a power house throughout the 2000s and were probably one of the few indies that had at least some brand recognition in the UK through its eye logo and the sheer amount of press and controversies Big Brother had. Seems odd to lose that name now.


Well the Endemol name is still being shown in the end credits of the these Best of BB shows that are airing on Ch4 and underneath the INITIAL productions logo on the end credits..

The acquisition has only cleared within the last few days so I imagine we won't see the Banijay name on any of the former Endemol Shine indies for a while.

I know that. I wasnt referring to Banijay . It was about the Endemol name still on BBUK programming.

When did Endemol start featuring as the main brand on the end cap? Series 3?

Yes because that was made and aired before this change happened today. They don't go back and edit logos on the endboards of programmes that have already been aired (edits by distributors on ancient archive excepted, of course). The Best of BB shows ended a few weeks ago.

It was quite clear what I was saying, and no doubt like with most of your posts you're being difficult for the sake of it. The Endemol brand will no longer be used in the UK going forward. You saw the word 'Endemol' in the production company logo of what is now an old show, hence why it still said 'Endemol'. I'm sorry if you lack the capacity to understand something so basic.

Today is the 20th anniversary of the first housemates walking into the first house. The excellent Diamond Geezer blog has been there to see what's left of the site in Bow (spoiler: absolutely nothing). Interesting that Peter Bazelgette, whose production company made that series, was the great grandson of Joseph Bazelgette whose Victorian sewers and pumping station was right next to the house!

Slightly off-topic but a brilliant read from pre-closure Television Centre:

Interesting to see the site now, not that there is much to see. Not sure where the alternative proposed site at Radlett may have been - just looks like a small village outside of Elstree/Borehamwood to me with no obvious production base.


Esquire have done a really nice article to mark 20 years of the show, and pretty much sum up where it all went wrong in the end.

And today is the 20th anniversary of the first episode being aired. Happy birthday to a brilliant show.

It's not a brilliant show.

As a concept, I'll give you unique (for the time), exciting, expansive and even brilliant. As an actual programme, as realised by channel 5, it's faults, problems and criticisms far outweighed any positivity the show created.

I would be amazed if even 1% of viewers of the first series rated the final series as equally entertaining.
