Seeing Big Brother Panto with it's excellent Christmas remix made me think it be nice to have a Christmas special series running through advent, Christmas and New Year.

This year would be perfect, beginning on the last Friday in November, with evictions every Friday until the eviction on Jan 6th. Put 8 new housemates in with the chance to win £50,000 for just six weeks work - and because it's Christmas, maybe a £50,000 prize for a charity of their choice as well.

A six week winter special, plus 10-12 weeks in the Summer would be perfect!

As per it depends on the HM's, as has every BB so far.

IMO BB1 was just right for timing. BB2 could have been slightly longer and worked, as could BB3. BB4 should have ended week 6, and did for me. BB5 was long enough.

I fervently believe in the right mix of the right people to keep the entertainment and suspense flowing.

I can already hear the coffers being made bigger in the Endemol office for all the money they will make of people voting,
