Great news everyone:
Big Brother Axed
Wed Aug 26 11:04AM by TV Editor
Channel 4 has confirmed that it is axing reality TV series Big Brother.
The broadcaster has announced that the show will not return following next year's 11th series.
The news comes after ratings for the current run fell to an all-time low, with an average of just two million viewers tuning in to watch the housemates' antics.
The series once attracted audiences of up to ten million viewers and made household names of the likes of Jade Goody, 'Nasty' Nick Bateman and Brian Dowling.
There is also expected to be one more series of Celebrity Big Brother before Channel 4 drops the series entirely from its schedules. The channel is currently locked into a three-year deal with Big Brother's creator Endemol which ends next year.
A TV insider told The Sun: "The reality is people are bored with it. Even at Channel 4 the vibe among staff is that if you like Big Brother you've not cool. If the people commissioning the show don't think it's cool, what hope is there?"
However, it may not be the last UK viewers see of Big Brother as another broadcaster may snap up the series and speculation suggestions that Sky may put in an offer.
I'm grateful for cable and all the different channels even though most of the programmes are repeats. Hence, there's no compulsion to watch Big Brother and I haven't got strong views on what's televised because I can change channel, watch a DVD/video or switch off and read a book. Nevertheless, I'm glad to see it axed since I am sick of people discussing it but there will probably be a Grand Comeback after a couple of years with all the nonsensical ballyhoo and hype that will bring. Anyway as the most surveiled country we have enough Big Brother in our everyday lives.
If i really had to say what i think about this farce i would be banned from BM , maybe even expelled from the UK thank God we can choose what we watch !!!
thankd the lord....i praise thee......hallelujah!!!!! the last big brother is coming...why not put all contestants that have ever been sad enough to go on it......out a bid ratchet strap around the house and blow the f**ker up!!!!..............is that too harsh
