Re: Big Brother: Channel 5 close to deal

Sorry dude, but Wikipedia is not an authoritative source, especially not on pages that can be edited by just anyone, and especially on a topic that is loaded with fanboys who so desperately want something to be true that they will latch onto anything that gives them hope - even if the essence of the story is that nobody has signed any contracts yet, and there is no date set when they will be signed.

I'm not saying it isn't going to happen, I'm just appealing for people to be a bit less hysterical and to see Dirty Desmond's PR campaign for what it is.

I think you'll find the Wikipedia entry is a little more accurate now.

On the 2 April 2011, the Daily Star, a newspaper owned by Richard Desmond, which also owns Channel 5, reported that Big Brother is returning on Channel 5 in August 2011 with a Celebrity edition and a main edition following in September. It claimed a five year contract is set to be signed extending the series for 5 years until 2012, with Big Brother being run in the Summer and Celebrity Big Brother being run in January [1]
