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.

"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.

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?

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
