Proving that TV executives do sometimes listen to fans, Big Brother will be returning for its final season in 2010….WITH LIVE STREAMING!
While we won’t quite be back to 24/7 live streaming, Channel 4 have promised to increase its coverage and have said that fans will be able to watch challenges and tasks on E4 in the afternoons.
In a video interview for Channel 4, Davina McCall has explained why Channel 4’s decision to axe the show has upset her so much.
“This week has been such a shocker. I got a phone call from my producer saying that next year we were going to have the last Celebrity Big Brother, and indeed the last Big Brother. Even though I kind of knew it was coming to an end and that it gives Channel 4 an opportunity to try something else, and they’ve had a lot of flack for Big Brother in the past, I think they’ve been very brave to stick with it as long as they did.
Davina McCall is so upset by the forthcoming end of Big Brother, that she plans to enter the BB house as a contestant!
She wrote on her Twitter page: “Well next year we may as well go out with a bang. Think I’ll audition ha ha. Yes please (sic)!”
Davina previously expressed her upset at Channel 4’s decision to bring the show to an end next year.
Dermot O’Leary has said that he is relieved that Channel 4 bosses have canceled Big Brother.
The channel have announced that next year’s eries will be the last and former Big Brother’s Little Brother presenter has said that the show is “exhausted.”
“I felt a bit sad, but only for ten minutes,” he told The Sun.
The original Big Brother winner Craig Phillips, has called for Channel 4 to make next years final series an allstars version.
Channel 4 and Endemol have confirmed that the 2010 series will be its last and Phillips thinks that a fitting final would feature all the shows previous winner and notable housemates. They could even have a cardboard cutout of Jade Goody placed, naked in the corner.
“I think the best thing for next year’s final show would be for C4 to go out with a bang in style by making 2010 a best of the best show – with all the ten winners, perhaps some surprise Celebrity BB housemates and notable BB contestants from the years entering the house.
Big Brother presenter Davina McCall has revealed on her Twitter page that there will be another series of BB next year.
This is what her announcement said: “Message to all. There is another BB next year. I am presenting it.”
What she didn’t say was whether she means that the summer season will be back or if she was referring to a Celebrity edition in the New Year but we’ll keep you updated if Davina adds any further announcements.
The Sun has reported that the eleventh series of Big Brother will be its last.
Big Brother kicked off way back in the year 2000 and The Sun reported that Commissioning Editor Angela Jain admitted that she would rather end the programme this year, on its tenth anniversary. However Channel 4 is contracted for at least one more series.
Channel 4 sources have today denied that Angela has sounded the death knell for Britain’s most famous reality TV show and have assured Unreality TV, that no decision has been taken on the show’s long term future.
So what are your thoughts on the matter. Will the summer be too long without our usual Big Brother extravaganza, or would you like to see the back of the show and all the crazy people that come with it? As always, leave your comments below.
