[irony] Yeah... cheap archive footage with a newly recorded top and tail doing alright on your dwindling digital channel totally warrants employing dozens upon dozens of freelancers and committing hours upon hours of air time for weeks on end to a programme that is a lot more costly to produce than it looks.

Thanks for that condescending tone. I think you'll find I didn't say they would immediately start production on a new series and throw money into it without question. What I said was that if these (yes, cheap filler) shows do well then Channel 4 will be looking at the Big Brother brand again. I don't for one second underestimate the work and money involved in bringing it back, but if these repeats prove there's still an audience out there for it, nostalgic or otherwise, I would be surprised if they didn't give it some consideration.

And no matter what Channel 4 have said recently about having no plans to revive the show, if these do well there's no way they won't start seriously considering it.
