But I wonder if there will be anything left from the other channels that is worth recording. TV seems to be plumetting for the lowest possible denominator in the search for easy ratings.

Time to take out a decent subscription with Love Film me thinks.

I do agree, but im sure other channels will have other good shows on.

Saying that i do wish we still had, London's burning, Heart Beat, Catch Phrase, Blind Date, and the original Family Fortunes.

Channel 5 have some brilliant films on a night time.

The poor non celebrity housemates getting the rubbish weather haha. I'm glad it's back though, it being on constantly for like 17 weeks including celeb and non celeb might be overdoing it a little bit though

August weather is always a hit and miss as you dont ever know if your going to have sunshine or rain. Hope the house doesn't flood like last year for them

From bbspy

Endemol is looking to draft in a big name executive producer to take Big Brother ‘back to basics’ on Channel 5, according to Broadcast.

The show’s production company will apparently hire a new ‘creative supremo’ for its comeback – which was confirmed yesterday – as they look to strip back the format and rediscover elements which made it popular.

The publication claims Endemol is keen to avoid the lavish twists of Big Brother’s later years on Channel 4, even though the new series is set to run for the same length of time. They will also make its multiplatform features a ‘key focus’ and use social media in a more innovative way.

A source ‘close to C5′ said that its owner, Richard Desmond, sees BB as a perfect match for the network.

“Desmond harbours a dream of creating stars for the public, which he can grow and crosspromote in his print titles,� they commented. “Ratings wise, even if it underperforms on last year, it will still shunt C5’s audience youth-wards, which is clearly beneficial.�

Meanwhile, CampaignLive reports that Channel 5 is to begin seeking ‘headline sponsors’ for Big Brother. Their sales director Nick Bampton will hold presentations at agencies from next week to explain the advertising opportunities on offer, which will include product placement for the first time after changes to Ofcom rules. This will allow brands to pay for their products to be included on the show.

Does anyone know if the theme song will be the same? and the eye etc.

[Sasha222]

As the time comes nearer they will probably let us know but I would love if they did keep the theme the same but who knows

[v0id]

The eye design changed every year, and the theme song also changed slightly

[Sasha222]

Wonder did channel 4 buy the rights to the theme when it bought the contract for bb or would Endemol own it?

I should imagine they licenced it to Channel4, so Endemol own the rights

[Sasha222]

On that note I really do hope they use it again as it wont be the same really without the bb music.
