If BB was a bbc show, there would be no swearing or unseemly displays of emotion shown. Everyone would be wearing suits, there would be hardly any accents :cool: (apart from London of course) the show would not last longer than a few weeks either and there would be no live feed .
In short it would not be the bb we know and love today on the beeb.
Torchwood has swear words and in the first series and some of the second.. a few of them a lot worse worse than you hear on big brother.
They could always bleep out ones that went over their quota or were completely unacceptable.
But I can't see the public being happy with it.
The rest we already see in BB anyway, except they don't wear suits lol.
If it was a BBC show I would certainly demand a cut in my licence fee!
Actually, I wouldn't. Although I obviously do watch it and did enjoy it this year, right up until it was clear that Rachel was never going to be treated properly by the morons on the production team, I probabaly wouldn't bother with a TV at all if our premier broadcasters were wasting their time churning out that sort of rubbish day and night.
The BBC, because of its public service remit, would not be able to get away with the kind of bias Channel 4 indulges in. Davina, had she been working for the BBC, would have been sacked for her treatment of Rachel.
Thats not to say the BBC would not be biased. Its likely that any Muslim or gay HM would get a very good edit indeed.
Didn't know anything about that programme. Ah well, my comment means nothing then.
The only thing I actually tune into occasionally on Beeb is Strictly Come Dancing, so I know nothing about what else the Beeb show.
Twas a musical they showed a couple of years ago.
I thought it was quite amusing really - a parody of the Springer show and religion (with a fair bit of swearing) but it received the most complaints ever for a TV programme... before it had even been shown!!. :rolleyes:
I think it ended up with around 50,000 complaints to offcom.

I can well believe the complaints for JS. I'm surprised they even considered showing it - did someone have too many sherries when they agreed to it?
That's why I couldn't comprehend Beeb showing BB - too many headaches for them to cope with
I like BB on Ch4, it just makes sense to keep it there.
If the Beeb showed BB instead of Channel 4 and it was on BBC2 in the start of the series. I guess it might have been shown on BBC1 by now if that was the case like many BBC2 shows that moved to BBC1.
Who owns channel 4 ???? is it not a goverment run channel ? designed to brainwash the masses keep them distracted from real issues !......just wondering !
It'd never have been a success either ... I imagine it to be like Castaway,a half hearted attempt at what is a great idea.
I really enjoyed Castaway, but what ruined it for me was they kept changing the times around, so I kept missing episodes. The Beeb have a habit of doing that. Previous series of Masterchef being a classic example, when they kept moving it backwards and forwards by half an hour/an hour to accommodate other programmes and sports coverage etc. Used to drive me nuts! As for Castaway, I agree it was a half hearted attempt at what could have been a great programme.
There would have been widespread outrage that TV licence money was spent on this stuff - instead of just handing it all over to Jonathan Ross's stylist like they normally do.

The Living Soap was on the BBC,it was the forerunner to all Reality TV shows since,as it was if i remember correctly the first to throw random strangers (students) into a house and the first have a diary room.
It was a real life soap in as much as they were filmed doing what they would normally do,so there were no tasks,no engineered group splits,no starving of the house mates for our entertainment (something that seems to have become a staple of all reality shows unfortunately).
It was on BBC2 and was quite popular at the time,there was a house mate called spider who became the first ever reality tv hate figure.

I remember that! Ha! I remember pretending to people I met my nickname was spider because I thought that sounded cool. I was only 13 so it's forgivable.
There's no way the government would ever allow the BBC to show BB. It's too "dumb" by their high-class standards! At least we wouldn't have to put up with those annoying sponsor clips when thye cut to and from a commercial break!

shown every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on BBC1
BBC2, weeknights at 6:30, Big Brother's Little Brother, with Claudia Winkleman.
A Sunday night eviction special presented by Natasha Kaplinksy.
I think I'd prefer the C4 version (apart from Claudia, she'd be great on BBLB!)

Rachel is a deserving winner but people cannot accept that
BBC would never take Big Brother from Channel 4 their credebility would be taken away from them.
And?......

Funny.
The BBC have jumped on more bandwagons than John Wayne. They would love to have had a show as iconic as Big Brother.
Maybe too late now.
So I ask again who owns channel 4 ...?????
