The highly successful series, which attracts huge ratings, is expected to return in 2009.

Why can't they just axe channel4 :/

Raymond Lin · 24 Aug 2007 at 13:35

It's the beginning of the end for reality TV, HURRAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The decision not to run Celebrity Big Brother will mean 29 hours of new programmes will be needed to fill the gap in January.

Oh hell, what rubbish are they going to put in 29 hours to fill?

They will one day. Every year more people get tired of it and every year they run out of things they can explore to do with the show.

They've already scraped the bottom of the barrel with the current series, so any more after will begin to bore even the most hardcore BB fans.

The concept of BB is all dried up and is just recycled each and every year, it's crap, but it definitely has a sell-by-date.

I don't care, fill it with repeat of Friends, Fraiser, ER, a movie here and there.

Vulcan · 24 Aug 2007 at 13:43

Don't you people see it?

It's just a stunt, they take it off because it's not popular, and then in 2009, it will be a long a waited return, it will be bigger than ever.

I feel ever so sorry for you people who don't know how to turn over to a different channel when Big Brother is on.
If anybody wants any instructions on how to press different numbers on your remote control or play a DVD or even go down the pub I will be glad to help.

New commissions for 2008 include The Family, an observational documentary series looking at 21st Century family life, and Channel 4's Big Art project, which will develop and fund new public art projects around the UK.

Most likely old Simpsons episodes. But hell anything is better than BB.

LOL, 9pm on Ch4 is a blackhole to me for about 6 months of the year.

jaykay · 24 Aug 2007 at 13:49

Well at least we have a year of no BB.

Uh huh, and pressing the remote also stops the insane deluge of crap that follows in its wake does it? Saturation of the media, contestants being rammed into every show for interviews nobody cares about.

"Tell us about your time in the house, even though we all stared mindlessly at you for 6 weeks watching your every move."

:rolleyes:

Stokie · 24 Aug 2007 at 13:52

Great, I can't stand the damn programme.

I wish they'd cut it forever though.

Ooh, a rolleyes.

Its very easy and I'll send instructions.
you probably have a remote control for your TV and it has different numbers on it.
All you have to do is press a different one from number 4.
You may even have a new device called a Freeview box and that has lots of other numbers on it.
From there you could play a DVD or even go down the pub.
I have 3 women in the house and even they know how not to put Big Brother on.
