Big Brother 7

A poster on Digital Spy Forums just said it has been announced on Radio 4 that Big Brother has been cancelled/delayed because of the leakage of new housemates to the press.
Not sure if i believe this after the teasers starting today informing us its ten days, will get many people confused.
Anyone confirm/deny this ?

I won't believe that until Channel 4 themselves confirm or deny the news.

I love this stuff

Why would they start their countdown then a couple hours later cancel it? Stupid 10 Days to go!!!

Not to mention why it would be announced on Radio 4

I mean please, were these people who believe this stuff born yesterday. The build up to Big Brother is more annoying than the time it is actually on

Thats debateable though - i mean, I get annoyed by housemates just sitting in the garden on their own with a bottle of beer thinking about their life.

I mean I know they cut to this to compromise for legal issues but its soooo draining.

"C4 London" bars and tone have appeared on

Astra 2 - 12.168 V 27500 2/3...

...but it's not viewable with a Sky Digibox.

and what does that mean???

It means that if you have a free-to-air (ie non-Sky branded) satellite receiver you can tune into that channel, which may well be the one which carries the 24/7 live feed from the Big Brother House.

ah i see... kool, thank you

BB in widescreen this year....

*Big Brother will be filmed in widescreen for the first time ever
*Its the smallest ever house with a mix up of outside / inside - inside the house will be grass and concrete, outside will be carpets etc
*THE RED BUTTON IS RETURNING
*Sponsored by the Carphone Warehouse

Just a shame it looks highly unlikely that Freeview viewers will get the live feed, considering Quizcall took it's place. The only hope is they close More4+1 down early, use it for BB over the summer before launching FilmFour.

So cruel too just to give us the feed one year then take it away! I do think the main channels should be forced to reserve one channel for interactive content!


Also, the launch night schedule is a bit dodgy IMO:

C4:
9pm BB
10.15pm Bring back the A-Team
11.35pm BB: The Love Stories
12.40am Big Mouth
1.10am BB Live

E4: (10pm Funny Cuts - whatever that is!)
10.15pm Big Mouth
10.45pm BB Live


As much as I love Big Mouth, there is nothing to talk about straight away! I'd rather see the HMs live than see people discussing how the HMs might behave!

Same goes for Love Stories on C4 - I'm sure most people would rather go live to the house earlier than relive the old love stories!



Finally, one rumour I'm happy to here is that Davina will anchor the show from the studio again, rather than from the middle of the crowd!

Really hope this is true - the show just worked so much better with Davina linking to the studio from a near empty house then the screen opening up for Davina to walk through the crowd to meet the evictee!

It was ridiculous in Celeb BB this year when Davina said "I'm coming to get you" and then walked AWAY from the house!
