Saved by a torturer, yeah fantastic... guess this means Five Star will carry the 'live' stream that no-one gives a crap about. Channel 4 axed it due to falling ratings, did they not? Hope 5 have considered this in their decision.

Unless it's like the Doctor Who version of Big Brother, I won't be watching.

Yeah, if Channel 5 think they're going to get brilliant ratings for it then I fear they may be sorely mistaken... the general consensus seems to be that the British public are sick to the back teeth of it.

So save the last dance

OK, so it will get low ratings, lower than on Channel 4, the question is how low? You have to compare these ratings with the ratings Channel 5 usually get. For example, week ending 20th March the highest figure's Five got were just under 300,000, with the football. Aside from that it was CSI with 260,000. I believe when Big Brother ended on 4 it was averaging a couple of million. If they lose haf their audience but still attract something like 1 million, or even 750,000 this will be a massive ratings boost for 5.

The figures can drop even lower, and this still could be a success for Five. If the figures are around the 300 - 400,000 mark 5 will probably wish they hadn't bothered. It's a gamble, but it just may work for them.

YES!!!! Brilliant news. Can't wait. I think the new series will be the best yet. It will probably be a complete change in direction from previous series'

Well it'll still be made by Endemol so unless Channel 5 sees enough reason to demand major changes...

Who actually watches BB? Can't think of any reason to do it...

I'm really not bothered where it's being streamed, I'm not watching anyway and according to what I've read about Channel 5, people are rather watching other channels. So why care if it's back? :)

Based on the ONE positive reaction to this, and massively negative reaction, even from previous fans of BB, I hope 5 really don't set their hopes too high, but it'll be cheap TV like it was on 4.

No no no, mine wasn't positive, mine was a polite way of saying it might be slightly less shit than all their other shit therefore attract slightly more people to watch it.

I meant more Viv's reaction (and feeling the need to post this as 'news' :P ), she did seem more pleased about this... maybe.

Well they would be wise to. There is a reason why channel 4 axed it and that is because there was a drop in viewers so they will make big enough changes to get the viewers in again

Serious question: Isn't BB still doing quite well in other countries or has it been axed in a lot of other places too? I ask because if it's still doing well elsewhere, Endemol would probably see less reason to make other changes.

Ah I see, well this is Viv, she couldn't be seen to be missing out on the "hot goss".

I think it is still doing well but I'm not too sure

You're just crazed with jealousy over my hot titles and hot-as-coal posts.

Hot-as-ice and cool-as-fire posts more like...

Ice Road Truckers is one of a few things I'll watch on 5... the others being the Eddie Stobart Trucks And Trailers show (especially the episode where they transport the Mercedes F1 car of one Michael Schumacher to a race last year <Turkey I think?>... nearly breaking it at some points in the process :confused:), Gadget Show and the odd film... oh and Live From Studio 5 of course*

*that part may not be true, especially as it isn't even on anymore.
