OK!tv was the only thing close to Little Brother and that was mostly showbiz news with a round up of BB news. BOTS is more like Big Mouth now and seems to have lost any reference to Little Brother. I'd like to see a 6 o'clock show on 5* or Channel 5 live from the outside stage with a bit more digital. And it MUST be live!!
Would you watch Little Brother if it came back?
I'd kill off BOTS and bring back BBLB in a heartbeat.
That could only improve the brand.
Couple that with a decent Live Feed and the show would be heading in the right direction.

Yes yes yes--BBLB was Intelligent, serious, probing and genuine fun. Dermot's greatest work, too. Psych stuff was insightful and not much BB prejudice/swaying. Happy days.
BOTS has improved but BB is worse. All of it needs killing off on C5 as they dont know how to do it. So no is the answer, no point.

It couldn't possibly come back - the show is now full of foul language and cannot be shown before the watershed.
Yes, yes, a million times yes! BBOTS is such a cheap and tacky programme. I don't need to hear audience members views (of which I rarely agree with). I would much rather have news segments and one on one interviews with guests. One thing I can think of in particular... interviews with relatives are much more suited to a BBLB type programme than on the Friday night main show. They just bore me most of the time but I still feel there's room for them just not on the main show. They used to be on BBLB and it worked well.
Also agree with Verence on "Get rid of BOTS apart from the post-eviction edition". It's often worth watching on a Friday night. When they had Vanessa Felts on the panel after Pauline's eviction it was a particular highlight and I wouldn't want to miss things like that.

The thing is, being C5, they did try to replicate it with that terrible Sunday TV show Rylan presented for a while, it was absolutely dire.
As BB itself has changed so much, it's rather pointless having a Little Brother I feel. To be honest, it was half-filled with stupid games with audience members, etc. all of which was a waste of time for me.

IMO BBLB had it right when it comes to focusing on the house goings on. BBLB was more of a fanzine, and for all its pre-watershed cleanliness had far more useful content. BOTP is a pale imitation of Big Brain too.
I think on Friday nights we should have a separate show straight after the eviction - Big Brother: The Interview. A 30 minute show dedicated to Emma interviewing the evictee instead of it being rushed in a 5/10 slot
I would.
I think BB is missing BBLB since it returned to C5, especially in the absence of live feed.

Desmond O' Dreary could be incredibly biased at times

Agree totally with the general sentiments here. BBOTS sometimes struggles with good guests and discussion. I would combine the main BB with BBOTS allowing flexibility on extending highlights with a more focused discussion and guests. Guests as in good quality not scrape the bottom barrel types (Lauren Harries etc).
