Latest post in Change to CBBC Promos...?

YE
yellow_hello
I've just seen a promotional ad for 'Dick & Dom in Da Bungalow' on BBC TWO and it featured the 3D moving bug in the bottom-right corner, much like in all the other BBC channel promos, but not as a rectangle. As the red caption strip came up, the bug jumped up and left the screen, returning for the final caption-free shot at the end.
I believe this is the first time it has come about, but I may be wrong. Any chance of some screen caps??

On a similar note, the great Charlie Brooker returns soon with a new reality TV spoof set in the Big Brother house...

From what I've read before, that's actually slightly misleading. It won't be a reality tv spoof and it certainly isn't a comedy, it's a straight up horror show albeit with comedic elements. I suspect the Guardian have latched onto this BB thing when it's probably only mentioned for five minutes in one episode of the series.


Don't know how dangerous it will be to admit this, but I've seen part of this being filmed...cos I was in the Big Brother crowd a few weeks ago. The week Belinda was evicted, they asked everyone in the crowd to stay for an extra 20ish minutes so they could film a 'fake' eviction with a cast member for a new TV "drama". She was taken into the house through a backdoor and we were asked to cheer her name (can't remember it now) as she walked out of the house like a real contestant with signs especially for her character. (Note: No zombies, but there was a teeny crowd of screamers separate from the house which struck me as a little odd...perhaps they part of the story??)

But I can assure you the BB aspect isn't just a fleeting part. They showed on the big screen a few minutes of footage from the house of the 'housemates' sitting in anticipation and silence. Not only was the whole thing shot so realistically that my first thought was that it was an international version of BB, but the entire house/set was incredibly convincing - it was so well designed and structured, it could easily be a real BB design. So I'd be willing to bet big bucks that, well, big bucks have been spent on it!

And I shook Charlie Brooker's hand... he looked at me like I'd given him lergees haha.
