No doubt this animation is completely different in style to the actual titles, as in previous years. They're always very slick and sometimes better than the official graphics IMO. Who actually makes them? Channel 4 Creative?

Davina will be hosting a new Sunday night show this year - Big Brother: On the Couch.


Basically it's a replacement for Big Brain with her talking to psychologists, and taking an indepth look at the past week in the house.


Meanwhile, the Saturday show will be axed, giving BB fans (and non-BB fans) one day off a week. The show has always rated poorly since it became highlights of Friday in the house - not surprisingly considering the main event was what we had seen live 24 hours earlier.



Also, the new press shots have been release: all this and more at http://www.beingbigbrother.com

Shame they can't bring back the live Saturday night task.

Though I liked the live task, especially in BB5 when it wasn't just "drawing straws" or "musical chairs", I think on the whole the Saturday Challenges have been better since they've been recorded - enabling the producers to do long challenges etc.


It's likely Diary Room Uncut will become the main Saturday show, airing firstly on E4 around 9pm or 10pm, then later on C4 around 11pm/midnight.


Talking of DR Uncut, initial schedules show Little Brother has got it's Monday show back, meaning DR Uncut will be cut back to just the hour-long omnibus at the weekend - which worked far better than the 30-minute edition on Mondays - which wasn't "Uncut" anyhow!

I don't like Diary Room Uncut - there's nothing big ever happens that we haven't seen from the main show.

To me, most of the 'uncut' show consists of...
"Baztwonk's gone to the diary room.."
"Hi Big Bro, can we have some toilet rolls please?"
"Baztwonk, Big Brother has noted your request and will get back to you"

On the contary last year I thought the Saturday edition was probably the best spin off show of the week - and though alot of it is stuff we might have seen before, I think BB needs a weekly omnibus of some sort.

Can't wait for the new series to begin - does anyone know if they will do a 'golden ticket' style thing again this year?

And the 10 days ads have started! Excellent. I look forward to seeing one.

At the pictures look nice, they seem similar to BBAus, in the fact that it looks spacious.

Mm, and on Inside Big Brother they've also printed some other rumours from the Star which sound supiciously like BB Oz.

They are apparently putting the bath in the living area and the oven in the bedroom.

Well thats one way of making BB different! Either way i just hope we dont have a "chosen winner" on the first night (ie Pete last year)
