Don't know if this should go here or Telly Addicts, but they're cancelling Big Brother!

[Bleh]

Yay!!!

It's about time. I for one wish they'd never started the ridiculous show, but anyway. It's all over now.

[Wonderstuff]

Good, bloody stupid programme.
Annoys me that it dominates the schedule all summmer every bloody year.

[notnowbernard]

What mid-series?

Or this is the last one ever?

[whomovedmychocolate]

Oh thank god! I've never managed to watch it. Mind you what will Jeremy Kyle fans watch at night instead?

[squeaver]

No they're doing one more series on Channel 4 next year.

Someone else may well do it after that eg Sky

[Paolosgirl]

Yes!!

Does that mean we'll also see less of the madly irritating, gurning Davina McColl?

[violethill]

It had its day.

First couple of series were interesting, felt genuine, and threw up a few really pleasant candidates.

Then it quickly deteriorated into a platform for boring, thick unattractive people to try to make a fast buck.

[Jimmychasesducks]

how nice to read some good news

[bronze]

they should stop this year 10 being a nice round number

[shinyshoes]

Woohooo!!

Can't stand the programme, this won't please my sister though she loves it.

[UnquietDad]

Hooray! About bloody time. I can't believe they are wringing one MORE series out of it!

There is very, very little in TV which can survive more than 5 years without some major changes in format. It's just been going nowhere since about Series 4.

[lal123]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not another series next year!!???

[GreensleevesFlouncedLikeAKnob]

best news I've had all day

it's like the fucking colosseum, should have been banned years ago

dread to think what they will think up next though...

[UnquietDad]

We're about 10 years away from "The Running Man"...

[Rindercella]

About fecking time. Only about 9 years too late.

[GreensleevesFlouncedLikeAKnob]

I'd forgotten about The Running Man

scary film

[midnightexpress]

Perhaps they could just leave them in there and not televise it?

[UnquietDad]

Heh-heh... I wrote a short story with that very premise.

[Squidmission]

Hooray! Its really rubbish.

Though I think they should keep the celebrity one.

[flamingtoaster]

About time - the first couple were fine, but then it became the haunt of the untalented wanting to break into television, etc.

[UnquietDad]

The first one was best, when they had no idea what was likely to be going on in the outside world, or whether anyone even cared.

[waitingforfanjo]

Agree with violethill and flamingtoaster. First series was interesting, the contestants didn't have a clue whether everyone or no-one was watching & it felt more like a genuine social experiment. Now it's full of wannabes and it's just too contrived.
