Big Brother

Well all listings have now been confirmed for the next two weeks so they can go to publishing, ie TV Mags ect. BB will most definatly start the last week of May.

I know it's not been done before, but think how good the ratings could be by having the first night on the Bank Holiday Monday (28th May)?

They could even have an eviction that Friday (1st June). Would make the show have quite a fast-paced start.

Can't see them launching on the Monday myself - Wednesday or Thursday is the hot-tip - most suggest Wednesday, but scheduling suggests Thursday is more likely.


BB eye designer Daniel Eatock has started an online gallery of mock eyes:

Well not long until we find out, the provisional listings are out tomorrow - which means lots of TBA, then they are fully filled in next Wednesday - which ties in with when the Press Pack should be out.

Some very nice designs on there

This would work well as a "random" teaser breakbumper....i.e. the eyes each flashing in turn etc...

I notice the Big Brother live feed (that was being used during Celebrity Big Brother in January) has changed from E4 to colour bars with 'CH4 LONDON' over them. I'm presuming this means the feed will be back again on Sky this Summer?

Don't think there was ever really any doubt it would be on Sky. Freeview I'm not so confident about!

A link is being posted around most forums as I type this, it appears when clicking on 'Week at Glance' on the CH4 Press Site Big Brother appears from 8.30 till 9.30, Ugly Betty, then 10.30 till 11.05 with a BBBM repeat at 12.10am.
Sounds like June 1st!

If it is true, I cant believe Big Brother and Channel 4 think the launch will win over the football.

Although its not offical though, it just says "Big Brother" in those listings. We will know for sure tomorrow.
