I am literally unironically happy that Big Brother will be coming back and will probably watch it a lot if there's anyone in it who takes my interest. Suck my dick.

I was and I had a big post written out but both the thread here moved on and it seemed a bit pointless to post it in it's own thing when it would be both of no interest to GBS and of little interest here. I'll see if I've saved the post (written as a .txt), though I've put a new HDD in my computer since.

Also I wish I'd run a sweepstake on how long it would take since Dirty Des getting the rights to BB for it to appear in a puff piece in one of his papers, as apparently the Daily Star spent 300 words today on who they think will win Celebrity Big Brother (transmission date: August onwards).

An STV spokesperson said: "STV is exploring a range of options for Taggart with number of broadcasters. We are committed to the brand and recognise the continuing popularity of this long-running series."

A spokesman for Taggart's international distributor, DRG, added: "Taggart is a hugely popular series internationally. For example, it is aired across three different TV channels in Australia and, the most recent seasons have achieved their best reception yet. It's our shared ambition to return Taggart to UK screens and we can confirm we're currently working closely with STV as we explore options to achieve this."

� Studio HQ7, first floor: 1,615 sq ft (150 sq m)

The studios at MCUK are really badly designed though, they're all connected from the scene dock by one corridor so if you're loading in/out of S1 then you can't get anything to/from S4 because the route will be blocked. Also there's only one entrance/exit for crew and audience, which is less than ideal if you're dealing with celebrities (or just don't want to be hassled walking in/out)

With regards to the BBC's decision to flog TVC, I don't understand the logic behind selling your own studio complex and offices that are owned by the BBC in excange for renting somewhere. It's like PFI in reverse, and just as poo poo. At least if they're not going to use the offices and studios at TVC they could rent them out or something rather than just bin them.

It would certainly clean up the (mostly correct*) image of TV freelancers being a bunch of scruffbags.

But yeah it was pretty excellent and I like all the characters so far and yeah it's another crime drama and yeah everything looks a little bit too clean but it looks like it can probably Go Places so I'm going to stick with it.

Yeah it's still made by an endemol subsidiary but it's got a new-ish team of producers (the execs are probably the same though). Also 'biased editing' :lol:

What does TVIV feel about the suggested ditching / cutting back on BBC4? It's part of the BBC's Delivering Quality First media strategy of "say we're doing a thing and see if the public are bothered" but it got someone on a TV workers forum brilliantly wound up:

quote:

OK. Here's a bit of blue sky thinking.

Why don't they scrap peak time BBC1? In fact all channels could just start at BBC2 - they could just run some footage of someone throwing a pot accompanied by some muzak with a caption that reads - "Apologies for the interruption to your programmes on this, the former flagship of the finest broadcasting system in the world before the corporation that created it became a political football". There would of course be uproar when the audiences couldn't choon in for 'Stenders or Strictly but it would bring it home to the public what it means to have to make 20% cuts to the corporation on top of steadily falling budgets throughout the last decade or so (thanks Gordon you oval office). Making cuts to BBC1 might make apathetic joe public care a little bit more about the corporation which (I hasten to add) is akin to the NHS inasmuch as it is just one of the few ways we still do excellent things in this country. The BBC generated billions of pounds in turnover for British business and yet this loving bunch of Eton educated coke heads (allegedly) slashes its budget as a sop to their friends in a soon to be criminally indicted organisation (allegedly) who placed one of its own coke heads (fact...... (allegedly)) in the heart of British government while still on the payroll of the aforesaid organisation (allegedly). The resultant cuts to the corporation have sent the British media industry into recession and made hundreds of previously tax contributing individuals unemployed. Meanwhile a subsidiary of the former are free to reap billions in profits because they produce a fraction of the output that the BBC does. In other words they have been handed a licence to print money you loving fuckers!

Of course the corporation won't do this and I don't blame them. It's a silly idea.

But then why not can the proms? Hit The Telegraph readers where it hurts and see how they like it when the loving cuts bite.

Actually don't do that either because they would only bleat even more about why they shouldn't pay the licence fee because it's an unfair tax and there's nothing they ever want to watch on it forgetting the fact that they also get poo poo loads of high-quality radio stations. In fact I defy any of those smug anti-licence fee Tory MPs to deny he ever listens to BBC Radio 3 or the Today programme.

gently caress the lot of that smug bunch of arrogant, self serving, claret gargling cocks with all their ugly wives (except for John Bercow although he can get hosed as well... Oh, and the rather attractive Louise Mensch) and your loving �20,000 duck houses. I hate all of you so much you horrible lot I'd like to take a dump on each and every one of your neatly manicured lawns.

Have you ever watched Sky Arts? No, nor me.

Can't honetly say I disagree with that though. The BBC (like the NHS) should be properly funded and then left alone to do it's job, if both of them were they'd be excellent.

The Guardian has made a nice point about the front cover of today's Daily Star (proprietor: R. Desmond)

Namely that the Star can't know that Big Brother had record ratings, because the overnights for Channel 5 (proprietor: R. Desmond) don't come out until, er, over night, long after the print deadline for the 'news'paper.

Although it is correct if you use a very specific record. Because it's not got the highest ratings for Big Brother ever (over 10 million in 2002), it's not got the highest ratings for Channel 5 (5.63 million for England v Albania in 2001) or highest non sport ratings for Channel 5 (5.41 million for the premiere of Independence Day in 1999).

So yes, it is a record. Well done, Celebrity Big Brother 8, for your record ratings of 5.07 million viewers. Channel 5's highest non sport or film figures. :toot:

Celebrity Big Brother ratings tumble

SUNDAY: Celebrity Big Brother�s first weekend on Channel 5 drew to a close with a series low audience of under 2.2m - a 58% drop on its debut.

The reality show launched with C5�s third biggest audience in its 14-year history on Thursday, but has seen its ratings gradually decline over the course of the past three days.

It debuted with 5.16m (22.13%), but this dropped to 3.21m (14.75%) on Friday, while Saturday�s first non-live edition of the series was watched by 2.74m (12.1%).

The downward trend continued on Sunday as the Endemol-produced format drew an average audience of 2.15m (11.8%) over the 10pm hour, bringing it precariously close to the 2m viewer mark that C5 owner Richard Desmond doesn�t want the show to reach.

Despite the decline, it remained resolutely above C5�s slot average of 1.16m (6.08%) viewers for the year to date, according to overnight Barb figures supplied by Attentional.

C5 can also take heart from the fact that when the show was on Channel 4 last year, audience figures tailed off in a similar way. The show launched with 5.9m (20.97%) in January, but settled down to around half this audience at a time when television viewing is usually higher than in the summer.

Sunday�s Celebrity Big Brother was preceded by Hollywood blockbuster 10,000 BC, which clawed in a crowd of 1.22m (5.3%) from 7.55pm to 10pm.

Although it's still doing better than normal for Channel 5.

Presenting, by YouTube user Applemask, "ITV In the Face" - a potted history of the ITV network in different regions, along with breakfast and Night time included for good measure. He looks at the history of the channels, how they looked (idents etc) and throws in some amusing comments about the story of the evolution of the network on the way through.

Yes, he's trying to be Charlie Brooker, and yes he's a bit smug and nerdy in places, and his west-country voice is a little grating, but stick with it. He's really good, and clearly passionate about the project.

Talkback to revamp Buzzcocks for new series

Talkback Thames is planning to revamp long-running music quiz Never Mind The Buzzcocks ahead of its new series in October.

The super-indie wants to retain the essence of the BBC2 panel show, but give series 25 more of an �event feel� to keep it fresh.

Comedy entertainment specialist James Longman has been drafted in as series producer to help the team introduce new rounds to the 15-year-old quiz, as well as changing the show�s logo and refreshing the set with �a lick of paint�.

Talkback will continue to use guest hosts and it is understood they will be given more time to establish themselves on screen than in previous series. Team captains Phill Jupitus and Noel Fielding are set to return.

Decisions on the new games are yet to be finalised, but it is thought that the famous intros and line-up rounds will remain in place.

The last series of Buzzcocks, which predominantly aired on Thursday at 10pm, was above slot average with an audience of 1.72 million (7.7%).

Longman has just finished showrunning the second series of The Rob Brydon Show, another Talkback production for BBC2.

Will it be good will it be poo poo? Who knows! but I already don't like the idea of the logo being changed because I always giggled when pictures of musicians were put up with a big pink cock between them.

Politicians don't understand how television works: part MCMXVIII http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/sep/16/eastenders-olympic-site-move

MediaGuardian posted:

The BBC has defended its decision not to move EastEnders to the site of the 2012 Olympics, after London mayor Boris Johnson accused the corporation of snobbery for vetoing a move to the East End.

Johnson, who had a walk-on part in EastEnders in 2009, revealed on Thursday that he had recruited prime minister David Cameron to try and rescue the deal after Mark Thompson, the BBC director general, informed him last week that the move had foundered.

A senior BBC insider blamed technical issues for the failure to do a deal to move the flagship BBC1 soap from Elstree, north-west London, the Olympic site in Stratford, after 12 months of secret talks with local officials. "It's sad. It would have been great," the source said.

However, City Hall said any technical issues had been solved and claimed the deal broke down because of BBC snobbery about a move to the East End.

The BBC insider said that issues with the move included a 23ft wall around the proposed site for the EastEnders set, which would have interfered with sight lines. The site will host broadcasting facilities during the 2012 Games.

By 2015, 30% of filming time would have been lost because of air traffic from nearby City airport, compared with 5% at Elstree, the BBC source said.

EastEnders airs four nights a week all year round, which means filming is constant and there is no time for delays, they added.

The BBC is also understood to have had concerns about privacy, with private homes overlooking the proposed set. The Stratford site, a leasehold, would also have cost the BBC more than Elstree, where the corporation is the freeholder.

Johnson told the London Evening Standard: "There was the chance for the BBC to show genuine commitment to the East End � an area it has harvested for audiences for decades. I'm astonished that the boss class don't see the obvious advantages of rooting a popular drama in an area it claims to portray.

"Perhaps if they seized this opportunity their plots and script lines would reflect the vibrancy and optimism of this critical part of the capital and not the relentless negativity that often comes across."

Yes Boris of course the BBC are idiots not to want to move to a new location where they:
* can't shoot outside 30% of the time
* when they are shooting outside have their shots hosed by a massive wall and have sets overlooked by private housing
* have to spend money on renting the studio site

There might be cameras but that doesn't mean anyone's watching.

Ding ding ding! Correct! I imagine it's the same as it used to be, which means it probably wasn't recorded. To record all 60+ cameras is hilariously expensive so to save money (and tape and hard drive space) they only record from ~6 and just switch which camera they're taking the feed from. If there's a conversation happening that will be followed, but someone taking a poo poo and then going to the kitchen nobody will bother with because there's no story there.

Of course this also means that if it blows up into a huge argument later on they can't air it because they've no proof of why it happens, and that would open them up to huge fines and legal bullshit once the housemate that did it gets out. There is a reason that some things aren't shown and it's not censorship for "favouritism" or whatever the DS forums like to say, it's the same reason that BB has never been successfully sued for cutting someone in a misleading way.
