Channel 4 bosses have promised that Big Brother will go out with a bang, in it’s final series next year.

The Guardian quotes Head of Channel 4 Julian Bellamy as saying: “Both Celebrity Big Brother and Big Brother will go out with a bang. We are playing our cards close to our chest. Rest assured it will be a memorable exit.”

Roll on January!

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.

E4 boss Angela Jain told The Mirror: “Viewers will be delighted to know that live streaming will be available for a few hours each day on E4 and overnight when Celebrity Big Brother returns to Channel 4 in the New Year for the final series.”

Davina McCall will stay on as host of Big Brother’s Big Mouth and for Celebrity Big Brother in January this will air twice a week instead of once.

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.

She went on to explain how she reacted to the news saying:

I just felt really sad, I cried for a bit and my husband was being very nice to me all day. It was kind of a weird day, I felt like I was grieving the loss of a friend. There’s a lot of stuff other than the show that I experience while I’m making big Brother that means a lot to me. For example, there are people that work behind the scenes at Elstree and at Endemol and Channel 4 that I see twice a year but I know it will be okay, (because) I’ll see them in three months. It’s sad to think that we won’t have that anymore. It’s like leaving school or university; it’s that same kind of feeling.

But Davina is looking forward to the final year of BB and is expecting both the celebrity and the normal series to be ‘very silly.’

I think next year will be silly; I think this is the only way to describe it. We’ll definitely go out with a bang. I certainly will be quite naughty, I’m not sure in what way or how but it could involve some shenanigans in the house or something, I want to go in the house really badly. Staying the night has been vetoed by my husband because sleeping is the only thing he really gets to see me do on my own. Also, I’d probably pick my nose or fart or something, I’d just never live it down. I definitely want to go in there at some point. I’m going to just really have a laugh with it and send it out with a proper bang! People are saying Big Brother’s over, but it’s a good format so I think it doesn’t necessarily have to be over, it can come back in another guise. I don’t know how or where or if or when or anything but I think there’s life in the old dog yet.”

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.

She said: “I have a really amazing feeling watching Big Brother 10 now.

“It’s like I want to cherish every second and love it even more, if that’s possible.

“I am sad. I just refuse to believe this is the end. It is a sad day for Big Brother fans.”

I think it would be pretty amazing if Davina entered Celebrity Big Brother next January, she would so have the insider advantage!

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.

“You can change the personalities and characters in the house but the format of them living together and people voting to get rid of them means it can’t really change very much.”

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.

“I think the public would be engaged with their favourite characters returning and it would be great to see how the winners bond or not bond as the case may be.

“This would be a great way to celebrate one of the most important shows in recent television history.”

He continued: “Imagine how a Geordie stud, a Welsh actress and model, a Scottish fisherman-turned-broadcaster, a transgender, a Tourettes sufferer, an Essex boy, an Irish gay gent, a top lady DJ, this year’s winner and myself, a Liverpudlian builder, would get on!

“We all might have something to prove as we are all competitive and would like to be the ultimate Big Brother winner. We would all be competing hard to win the public’s votes and perhaps funds could go to appropriate cancer charities in memory of Jade Goody.”

He added: “I for one would certainly be happy to discuss something like this with Endemol and C4, and would be willing to help them to bring all the winners together and make this final year as exciting and entertaining as possible.”

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.
