Celeb BB Gone
Oh deary me....
BBC
Quote:
The 2008 series of Celebrity Big Brother is being axed in the wake of the race row which engulfed the show's last run, Channel 4 has confirmed.
A decision about a return for the reality show in 2009 is expected to be made next year.
The move is also part of a shake-up of the broadcaster's evening schedule which will cull some factual shows.

Re: Celeb BB Gone
The British TV landscape will be all the prettier for it.
Unless of course they do the usual channel 4 trick and commission something with a deliberately provocative and outrageous premise just to get headlines.

Doubt they'd do that though would they? I mean, it would be so unlike them it would be unreal.....

Re: Celeb BB Gone
Did I not see that VM had pulled out as the price was a little heavy for what they wanted to pay, or was it a dream?
Good old VM well done, now could you arrange some good war programmes with no repeats?

Oh, that would be Heaven...a day where I can switch on the TV and not be subjected to that Big Brother drivel.
I remember the days when any reference to Big Brother originated from Orwell's "1984".

Re: Celeb BB Gone
I wish they'd cancel them all...
Along with all the singing/dancing shows too.

Sadly, they won't. It's cheap TV, and still gets the viewers. I read once that one good comedy episode can cost up to £1 million to produce (this may seem a lot, but when you take into account how many people can potentially get involved, not to mention hiring fees for equipment and the various licencing fees involved, it isn't a lot).
I don't know how much BB costs to produce, but once the hardware and the house is set up and the licence to Endemol (the original owners) paid, they only need to provide crew and presenters, and then put up some money for a prize, and the rest is profit.
I should think Xfactor costs even less..
