When will we expect an announcement on the move to C5 if at all.

I think we should get over that it's done on C4 first.

If they delay an announcement for too long most people will have got used to the idea of it being gone and it will be greeted with a large amount of derision.
About 2 weeks time would be right.
Unfortunately its likely the new channel might want to adjust it simply to make it different to the C4 version but Davina and Marcus Bentley are the 2 main ingredients that need to return aswell as using the same theme music.
It may have dropped ratings over the years but even at the level its at now it beats anything that C5 air.
And hopefully BBLB and BBBM will be on FIVER to complete the picture
Of course all this is dependent on C5 being able to reach a deal with Endemol , but the longer the delay the less chance I think there is of it becoming a long term success again
god no, not davina, her time has gone,it needs a fresh presenter.
No Thanks
let it go...we had 10 great years...well mostly !
Endemol have become greedy they think that as the production team they hold all the cards and powedr forgetting that without somebody to broadcast the show it is little more than a primary school play.
CH5 is now owned by a shrewd business man who knows that it will take a few years to build up revenue for his channel and certainly isn't going to line the pockets of a two bit production company buying a programme that has essentially failed due to incompetance and poor production values.
I doubt CH5 and Endemol will ever come to an agreement around BB as CH5 can still fill the void left in next summer with new and innovative reality programming that moves in a new direction.
No offense, but when it comes to Ben, get real. It's a big job, they're not going to give it to someone with no real presenting experience.
He has to prove himself in a lesser presenting job first.
It was actually reported by The Guardian that talks were taking place between Endemol and Channel Five. The owner of Channel Five said in a televised interview that he wanted Big Brother. Reliable enough for you?,
If the talks hadn't worked out, that would also have been reported by now.
Rumour (yes, I know) has it that Endemol has already applied for another three year lease on the Borehamwood site, which strongly suggests they've reached a deal.
Nothing is certain until / if the news breaks, but it's looking very likely.
I'd laugh if that was correct.
Wouldn't that be a bit of an anticlimax... not to mention extremely embarassing after this big ending complete with funeral and lots of tears. Suddenly Davina is back gurning at the camera "BB House, this is Davina - AGAIN - you are Live on Channel 5... etc' :rolleyes:
PEJ confirmed a while back that there will be no CBB in 2011 whatever happens.
Yes for once I agree a new presenter would be really good besides davina seems to look tired lately lol.
Very good, and how many seconds would that be and will it be raining at the time.
Then they are as wise as me.
I never denied talks hadn't took place. I was suggesting that the rumours that a deal had already been done was coming from sources I would not consider to be reliable. Even The Guardian article pointed out that a deal was nowhere near imminent. Talks take place all the time - they don't always amount to something.
Maybe it will be
What?
The article actually says: "However, it is understood the full details of the deal are still to be finalised and no announcement is imminent." which is a bit different
That was nearly three weeks ago, so discussions will have moved further by now - though how far, who knows? But talks are certainly taking place.
