Brian Dowling speaks about how BB has changed...
.. And calls it "produced reality".
http://bit.ly/2bsiCaB I haven't heard him talk about the show since he got fired. Thoughts? |

He's alive
firing him was the best decision they ever made.

Ahhh nice to know Brian still watches the show and he even says he would consider going back in! I wasn't a big fan of his presenting but I felt bad for him when he was sacked.

For me those marathon length tasks were the best bit about it, they all had to work together as a team to pass or else they actually had to survive on a basic diet, soaking peas/beans the night before. Now they may as well all refuse to do anything, and just carry on fighting as they get fed no-matter what. |

Emma and Rylan are far more relaxed in front of the cameras. Too much so in Rylan's case. |

I think Brian is right in a way the new audience now would find it boring.
BB2 was a riveting series for me, due to the mix of HMs and Brian although not perfect (Who is!) was hilarious "Hold me Bubble!" The tasks were class and we had LF! I think C5 did Brian a favour in sacking him, he is a more off the cuff sort of chap and very naturally funny. And if anyone asks, yes I have stopped watching BB on C5 I think I'm like a lot of forum members keep coming back here, in the vain hope that BB might "pick up" again also I like to chat about past C4 series, although not perfect especially in the later years, they were certainly streets ahead of the utter mess we have now. I can't think of one memorable moment from any of the series on C5 one or two things have made me laugh, but it just seems to be nasty and depressing. |

Aww - I didn't think he was too bad. He was certainly a 'natural' housemate, before he presented!
![]() Brian will always be my favourite housemate and he was perfectly fine as a presenter on smtv. |

Brain is a warm, funny, kind charismatic person but he's not a 'natural' as a presenter so he didn't come across as himself. He's not a 'scripted' person, he's a natural wit, comedian and all round good-guy.
I hate reading out loud myself so sympathise and though I miss him on my screeeeen I think he's better in the house than presenting it. Love Brian!! |

He'd be better at Marcus's job if ever he leaves. His voice and wit would be perfect.

I think Brian under-estimates the GBP, people watch the bake-off in huge numbers and that's not for the twists and gunging people
![]() I watched the launch show of BB2 again recently and found the way the show was put together quite lovely, almost like 1960s tv it seems now , if you have a spare hour check it out ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sume...nw0Ddd-0RCoeJP |
