Bad but not unsurprising news for uber fans of Big Brother with little live feed scheduled for this year’s series.



While the ‘Timebomb’ twist may see former housemates, tasks and twists return the live feed is very much staying in the past.

The new run kicks off on Tuesday evening with a 2 hour launch from 9PM before Bit On The Side airs with Rylan Clark straight after until midnight.

Our first taste of live house action then begins for an hour but it looks like that’s the most we’ll ever be getting on one night.

The next instalment of live feed isn’t until Friday evening following the second live show of the week and Bit On The Side.

Over the next few weeks the schedules show similar short stints of footage from the house only airing after the main live shows.



The lack of live feed has long been a big complaint amongst Big Brother fans ever since it was cut back in the days that the series was still on Channel 4.

An online subscription model was trialled for one series while in 2013 5* aired live footage nightly for all of a month before it too was canned.

But while live feed may not be coming back, this year will see the return of Big Brother to TV screens in Ireland.

The show has been off-air there since the Channel 5 but this summer will air on TV3 and 3e.

“As the new director of content for TV3, I am delighted to announce the return of Big Brother UK to Irish screens,” TV3’s Lynda McQuaid said this week. “Big Brother and all its spinoffs are large, explosive, constantly evolving, creative vibrant television properties that appeal to a varied cross-section of the audience, and will find a perfect home on TV3 and 3e.”

Who goes/stays/wins, THEY decide

Who will be loved and disliked, THEY decide

Only what THEY want us to see through the highlights and very vague Tweeting, and no doubt it will be arguments and fighting all the way through as usual

No feed, no watch.

Simple as that.

It's reached the point where I'd rather have no live feed.

Unless BB went back to the old days when there was (a) a lot of live coverage, and (b) housemates more worth watching, I'd rather have none. Not a live show here and there. Not a few hours a night. None at all, ever.

If there's a little live coverage, it beings in most of the problems that come with a live feed but too few of the benefits.

I can't see myself watching much of this series really.
The live feed tied me to the show and without it I find myself not that bothered if I watch every day and then once I miss a couple of days apathy sets in.

each year goes by you think they cant mess it up anymore but they continue to

Won't be watching it without the feed, That goes for CBB too.

We'll never get live feed again since fight night. what baffles me is Channel 5 and Desmond love to throw out controversial programs but are afraid of televising live feed for Big Brother .

Is the a new VLC link for what there is and mostly for the nightly shows? Its the easiest way for me to watch.

This seems to have stopped working for me.

The best bit of last night's launch was the live feed. I didn't bother with highlights tonight I watched nashville.

For the love of BB, C5 give us LIVE FEED.

Day 2 and out comes the live feed thread.

No Vote.

Well there is not much else to discuss because we have nothing to watch.

Is there anywhere to watch last night's feed? Only bit I'm interested in and can't find it on Demand 5.

Mind you last time they had all the links up on there but you couldn't actually watch it
