All the media commentators are super-excited and we are just a day away from discovering if actual members of the public are actually going to give a toss. In my head I’m still trying to work out the format – 16 people going in on night one, six weeks later they’ll be a winner, so how’s that going to work? Twice-weekly evictions? Weekly evictions to be Big Brother but then nightly ones going into the final week I’m A Celeb style? Will they be enforcing “no nominations” talk? How long before we get annoyed at people using the phrase “up for nomination” because they’ve not stopped to think about the meanings of words?
Anyway here’s the theme tune you can buy on iTunes or whatever if you want:
The live pre-recorded launch show is tomorrow (Sunday) night 9-10:30 on ITV AND ITV2, followed by Big Brother Late and Live on ITV2 until 11:35pm. The show continues nightly on ITV2 nightly at 9pm followed by L&L at 10pm and nightly live streaming on ITVX, hopefully the housemates haven’t just gone to bed by then.
Launch night was OK, the cutting and editing from VTs and entrances felt a bit crap, it all felt more natural as the reality bit started. I do like the house. I hope they’re not going to “do an Australia” and dub the voice of Big Brother with the voice of Our Graham from Blind Date throughout and they just had the same producer on duty for launch, differentiating the Big Brothers is part of the charm.
2m on ITV1, 500k on ITV2, 392k for Late and Live are the overnights floating about. Will probably watch tonight, although I don’t know how long I will keep it up. The nightly shows could be anywhere really.
