Is this true, I can't find anything on it.

I managed to get through the entire series without seeing one episode, or knowing a single housemate's name, which I am very pleased with. However, they are still drawing audiences, and I'd be surprised if it went. Okay, so they don't get the audiences they used to, but still a few million.

Yeah BBC wotsit or ITcrap or whatever it?s on have cut it. Next year will be the last one apparently unless it gets bought by someone else.

Or so I was reliably informed by my brother and sister in-law when they made us eat our tea in front of it when I was visiting recently.

Wasn't Saw 1 to 5 a much better version of Big Brother? I thought so anyway.

"An average of 2.88m tuned in to (Big Brother) between 10pm and 11.15pm last night

Elsewhere last night, a My Family repeat brought in 3.12m (14.1%) to BBC One at 8.30pm"

I think they should run BB on every channel, seven hours a day. At least 3 million people don't deserve anything better.

Synchronicity purposes...

What a wicked individual you are *Bob* :))

At last some good news, a vehicle for sad talentless losers has been chopped. HURRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[daizie]

What!? Is the forum closing?

[Brendan]

heh heh.

Nice one.

This last series of Big Brother was actually very good, and was much more people-watching than a freak show. It was possible to see human emotions/interactions etc to differing situations, it was actually like a drama. There were also some very funny moments too. Another channel will buy it and I will watch it again no doubt.

To actually want it off the telly is a bit strange though, as it's not as if there aren't loads of other channels to choose instead. Isn't there room for this AND whatever it is you want to watch?

[bigbadwolf]

I'm gonna let what you've just written pass lard. Any more though and you're out!

What a cracker, I bet the long winter nights just fly by in your house.

big brother uses 200 hours of tv airtime which is a scandal.

I notice that the papers have just been reporting viewing figures and not the scandal that it was there in the first place.

But rejoice, be happy, its going.

For the best part of 10 years, Big Brother provided a large slice of Ch4's revenue.

Did you watch 102 minutes last night? It was an amazing documentary. Probably paid for by Big Brother in some way.

The whole thing was an abomination and the sooner it goes away the better

['bout now]

Staying in to watch other people....er...staying in. Then another follow on programme about those tools that stayed in. Ever thought you've been had?

The old "next year will be the last ploy". Boost the raitings and change your mind ...

[Moos]

Yay, Mike's back!

Have you seen his new Whip on facebook. Mikes pushing a raw new set of wheels, a VW Golf if memory serves.
