Who's idea was it to give Makosi a staring role? Should have started with Craig with him being the first winner and all that or Brian D. There wasn't enough Brian Dowling or Emma Willis. Other than that I quite liked it.

No live Feed? then its not bigbrother.and for shame on Channel 5/daily star for the silence you have done.a wise BB fan said without the feed this is nothing more than a 2nd rate TOWIE or was that the idea? bigbrother UK is the only bigbrother we have this issue over 24hr coverage over and over and it has to stop..the show launched with it the feed is the Core element that makes BB special Yes it might hamper the plans of Endemol to edit certain housemates a certain way,but the feed is the liveblood of the fansites and the forums.

I'm someone who analyses every frame, I'm a bit OCD like that. No Steve, Shabby, "Glory" Dave? Were last years' contestants contracted not to appear? Maybe my eyes. Also noticed the music was slightly tweaked. Anyone else notice that?

I love the Big Brother advert its amazing Ive watched the BB advert clip over 10 times :D

BB2011RIP
Totally Agree Oathty ! BB without 24/7 Live Feed is NOT a real BB IMO. Time to rename it TOWIB 'The Only Way Is Borehamwood' IMHO as that is what it will be.

Good ad but you seem to have air brushed out the older people who took part. Guess that is why I was rejected at the London auditions!!! You will alienate a lot of viewers...

Older contestants airbrushed out? People liked it because of the mix of ages...

Brilliant ad. It has certainly got me excited for the new series. It would be great in C5 did a half hour doc on the making of the video cos although i have watched it a dozen times now I am sure there will still be people in it who I have not spotted yet. Cant wait.

Why have the awful Brian Belo featuring, why not have a fresh start not looking back to one of the worst HM's ever to appear and all the rest.

Would LOVE to see Pete Bennett have a role in C5's BB. He was one of the most talented HMs ever: singer/songwriter/musiciam, accomplished artist - and just about to spend 28 nights at the Edinburgh Fringe doing stand-up and storytelling! Get him into the studio with Brian - or better still - with Emma!

No live feed, Brian D talking us through it all! can he do it??? not so sure, how can it take over our summer when it does't stat till 17th! thats nearly autumn, But hey major brownie points for keeping the 'voice' of bb, wonder what other changes we have to look forward too? no diray room/chair perhaps??? don't spoil a fantastic product C5!ps please bring back the chickens and bread making from the begining

Some of the requests on here are quite uninformed... Davina chose not to return, not Channel 5's decision. The RSPCA stopped BB from using Chickens in the house years ago, so again wouldn't be Channel 5's decision. Marcus chose to come back and narrate and had been nagging on Twitter to do so and has also left Channel 4 to do so, again, not all up to Channel 5... people need to know their info before slating something for the fun of it.

Looks good, however i wouldn't of chose Brian Dowling on his own for presenting, or at all. Josie Gibson + Emma or Brian would of been good. Also Josie would of been good on Big Brother Big Mouth (:

24/7 LIVE FEED is a must! If that's there then everything else is looking quite good :) nothing without lf though..
10 months ago
Kate
@graeme Everyone is "going on about it" because the show is called big brother.. being able to watch 24 hours a day is the whole premise of the show. You're exaggerating a little with the editing but yes it is quite annoying but how about asking C5 to sort that out rather then just axe it when it's such an important aspect of the show? Unless they've seriously underestimated the need the only reason can be that they want to manipulate what we see to create fake drama & feed their tabloids which would be a major disapointment to a fan from the beginning. I have faith C5! Don't let us down. :)

knowing what celeb's are rumoured to be in it, this series sounds a lot better than channel 4's series where they put in celeb's which were mostly unheard of

@Kate Agreed Kate could not have put it better myself ! NO 24/7 Live Feed = Not a REAL Big Brother IMO. Better to call it 'The Only Way is Borehamwood'

Nice trailer. I want to be excited about this, because BB is one of my all-time fave shows, but it'll flop unless there's 24/7 live feed (remember BB10 & CBB6 - worst viewing figures ever). C'mon C5, don't disappoint us! I expect some LF for CBB8 and 24/7 LF for BB12. If not via red button then make it a ppv internet stream, and BB will deservedly become huge again! Thanks :-)

you have ruined the buildup for me,So thrilled when BB was coming back but isnt the reality C5 only want a nightly show and to heck with the rest. 'Back to basics' would mean a 512k stream on the website just like BB1 and it was amazing.No feed its not big brother and the silence about all this is very telling,

@Andrew Great Post ! No Live Feed 24/7 = Not a REAL BB IMO. Totally agree with Andrew the silence about this is very telling IMO too.

i have watched big brother from the start i was so looking forward to it coming to channel 5 but now we are told no live feed!! big brother is about watching when ever you want! but sadley i wont be watching now no live feeds! i think it will be the bigest flop because of it!!

Shazz
I can't wait! Channel 4 had already done away with the live feed anyway, so it's not going to be much different. If this launch video is anything to go by, it looks like the show's in good hands.
10 months ago
BB2011RIP
@Shazz, erm no they had not. BB11 had online Live Feed for a fee and there was also some overnight coverage on C4/E4 and an hour or so during day on E4. On C5 It appears at this point there will be none atall, not even an hour in afternoon on C5/5* etc let alone overnight coverage on C5/5* or any online live streaming. SO IMO It is going to be VERY Different. IMO should be renamed 'The Only Way is Borehamwood'. NO Live Feed 24/7 = Not a REAL BB IMO.

YOU HAVE SPENT MILLIONS TO BRING THIS SHOW BACK YET YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS CHANNEL 4 YOU NEED THE LIVE FEED TO MAKE THIS SHOW WORK - I M BITTERLY DISAPPOINTED, ITS NOT GOING TO BE WORTH WATCHING SO I PROBABLY WONT

Yay! I don't really care about CBB, but I can't wait for BB2011. Being from America our BB is completely different from the UK version and ever since BBAUS was cancelled and BBAfrica's season ended, the UK one is the only English one that follows the original format.

24/7 Live Feed IS NEEDED (have it every series or give it a try at least for this year) !..... and btw channel 5 video quality = crap!!....

Bev
Heck pretty peefed there is no live stream as this makes BB but channel 5 will no doubt learn that the live feed brings in the viewers, It would also have been a great show with MR PETE BENNETT presenting part of the show as Pete was and is the ultimate winner in my eyes and his fans eyes Pete would have been perfect for the job

Oathy
you knew 2 weeks ago when the story broke aboutthe livefeed there wasnt any.you didnt even have the nerve to admit to people far from Bigbrother coming back its that in name only.Now you go the full C4 route and even start removing comments about the issue. 'many clips' Clips dont replace a live feed because those clips are what you deem worthy of sharing and not for fans to take out of a feed and share on forums what THEY deem worthy of talking and sharing. the entire concept is lost with you,why even bother buying the show in a pick n mix format?when it fails dont bother looking for lame excuses the fact you thought it would work without a feed you have already lost so many fans..its just madness.

i may be frustrated that there is no live feed but i'm happy about it being scheduled through autumn winter rather than the summer. makes a lot more sense. as it gets colder i dont mind spending more time indoors watching it but i used to miss the summer nights watching bb so well done whoever thought to schedule in the winter. a good idea! ps where are the older people in this?
