After failing to win the rights to Big Brother last year, ITV look like they might buy the company that makes it instead!

From C21 Media: http://www.c21media.net/news/detail...1&article=34339


Basically, Endemol up for sale, ITV considering a bid - and if they got it ultimately they would get first refusal on all Endemol formats, meaning ITV could get their grubby little mits on Big Brother.


Now, C4 are contracted up until 2010 and it be difficult to break that contract, but after that BB would be fair game for ITV - which wouldn't be good news at all for Big Brother fans!


Well they cant mess it up any more than C4 did with CBB this year Wink


ITV really doesn't know what it's up to does it

Far too many assumptions to make this anywhere near likely, and remember press stories are ignored in this thread now aren't they?

As others have said, I'm sure Channel 4 will run Big Brother into the ground by 2010 after this year's fiasco

Big Brother will be a totally different show if ITV get it. It'll be hosted by two z-list presenters for a start.

That itself wouldn't be the point - it still move (more) into the entertainment category and any pretence, however small it might be, that it's anything other than entertainment would be gone with ITV.

If ITV got hold of the programme, they'd probably ruin the format and make a celebrity version or something.

Oh.

Oh please. Rolling Eyes BB hasn't been anything other then entertaiment since the 1st series. I don't think even ITV could sink any lower then passing bullying off as "entertaiment".

So according to Digital Spy Shilpa is now set to launch her own perfume.


The phrase "Your claim to fame is this - good for you!" is getting more ironic by the day - Shilpa has stolen Jade's career!

Easy name for the perfume then...

Shhhilpa.

Next thing there'll be a programme called Shilpa's Salon on E4 and so on.
