I thought I'd never read of 'gravitas' in the same sentence as Big Brother.
Please no more...
This is great news. Really hope they choose some strong and varied episodes from different series. Presumably Davina will introduce C4 episodes whilst Rylan will do the C5 ones? It's a shame it won't be Emma - I feel she always kept a level of gravitas to the Channel 5 version even as it descended into tabloid desperate trash.
And no matter what Channel 4 have said recently about having no plans to revive the show, if these do well there's no way they won't start seriously considering it. And wouldn't Big Brother be a perfect format to revive if social distancing measures continue indefinitely? Launch and evictions would need re-thinking, as would the safety considerations for crew behind the scenes, but as all housemates would effectively be self isolating inside one household the main series could run pretty much as it used to.
