Just saw this tweet from Ian Symes:
Ian Symes ‏@ianiansymes
On my way to rehearsals for A Brief History Of Time Travel, the sitcom that I'm in along with @henryimbert and @bobbyllew.

Wonder if this will be just a guest appearance or if they will be the 'stars' of the show? I find them spectacularly unfunny, but will probably give it a go anyway:)

    They're not even so unfunny that they're funny; they're just not funny. End of.

    Blokes from BOTS who do a lot of the internet side of BB and also present a "comedy" segment on the show!

    They need to stay behind the camera or BBBOTS is killed before it's even started.

    Going upmarket surely means shelving these two and all of the other smutty segments.

    The forthcoming series of BB sounds very promising so far I'm really hoping that Channel 5 will deliver this time and actually give us Big Brother..

    Agree with all of this.

    Agree with all of this.

    I'm hoping to see all of this...
    A social experiment premise
    Countdown to series launch - no teasers or house pics beforehand
    Intro bit from Emma before titles a la Davina
    New stage
    A sedated rentamob and eviction interviews conducted away from them
    Cars and suitcases
    Brand new OMG house
    House tour with Emma on launch night
    2 bedrooms
    No outlandish launch night twist...let them get on with it!
    First eviction to take place after at least one week
    No contact from the outside world whatsoever
    Let the housemates hear the true crowd reactions to them and no dubbing over in an attempt to the fool them or the viewers - not sure about this one..
    Less booing and crowd management - it's not that difficult to tell them all to shut the f@*k up!
    No incoming guests for tasks etc.
    A much stricter and tougher BB
    No favouritism
    Harder tasks
    Harsher punishments
    Less rewards
    Live tasks
    NO electric shock suits AT ALL
    NO eating foul foods tasks
    NO gunging or fish guts tasks
    3 strike rule re-introduced
    No tampering with the prize money
    No tampering with nominations
    No discussion of nominations allowed whatsoever
    Absolutely no fixes or vote rigging
    No nametags
    No or very little incidental music
    No montages
    No ridiculously over the top narration from Marcus
    Some live feed...please!
    A clean and decent BBBOTS show with discussion, footage and clips and that actually focuses on the show and the housemates - not the behind the scenes crew, guests or wannabe audience members...
    The return of Diary Room Uncut
    More psychology

    Oh and I would love Gray and Oakenfold to remix the theme and snazz it up a bit! It's slightly dated now! And I want the old eye back unless they come up with a decent theme and give it it's indentity back!

    It's not too much to ask is it? Anyone care to add anything?! :D

    I like all of this! :D

    I'd add for them to back to Big Brother doing the "___, you have been evicted" thing. It makes no sense for Marcus to, and the way he bellows it just makes it seem like a parody.

    But, on the subject of "Too Hot for the Internet", I just REALLY hope it goes. It's actually borderline offensive that whoever is in charge of it thinks we'd rather see pointless crap like that rather than things actually related to the show, like action from the house, etc.

    Yes I agree entirely! Sorry for going a bit off topic :D

    Also, the housemate synopsises before they enter the house need to be done by Emma like Davina used to and fathomable over rentamob.

    If they keep "Too Hot For The Internet" they can kiss goodbye to the viewers they have left...or if they must keep it then it should only indeed be available on the internet - not featured on the show and clogging up valuable airtime..

    I forgot one majorly important thing...Absolutely totally NO CONTACT from the outside world or incoming guests for tasks..
