Last on channel 4. I am reliably informed by someone who will be involved in the filming that they may try to keep it going on a cable/satellite channel.
Personally I will not watch it and hope it gets burried.

Not me .... and thankfully swmbo hates it as well :y :y

Way past it's sell by date.....not me...total crap.. :y

Personally I dislike a lot of this 'reality' TV.
The BB series of shows rapidly went down hill after the first one or two. The whole point initially was to have a broad cross section of the public in the house, young/old, male/female/ different backgrounds etc etc.
While the intitial few shows were entertaining and to a point interesting to watch how everyone interacted and reacted to certain situations, it seems that the shows makers (as they always do) have opted for ratings rather than quality and have since chosen housemates that will clash, stand a good chance of getting their kit off, getting it on with other housemates or are gay/lesbian or somewhere inbetween.
I personally don't have any prejudices against any one race/creed or sexuality but chosing BB contestants for no other reason that to up ratings, no longer makes it a 'reality' show.
My Mrs. will watch the opening to see what dregs of society they are putting in the house and she may watch it a bit now and then, I however, wont be.
Thank God for Sky multi-room :y

Tripe like this has been responsible for the decimation of broadcasting standards in this country and has led to hoards of brain-dead disciples falling in thrall before contestants devoid of any level of interest, content or ability to inspire anything but the self-interested spectacle of individuals prostituting themselves in the name of 'celebrity'.
We will remain broken as a nation – fundamentally so - as long as people give credence to this nonsense by allowing it to pollute their television screens.

It never had a sell by date it was putrid before it started.

Sorry Zulu, as much as I have promised myself not to involve myself in any political thread on the OOF, I have just got to say you are rather overstating things somewhat!
We are talking about just a TV programme, that with only a few exceptions had overall low viewing ratings figures and is now to be taken off our screens due to a lack of public interest. This has nothing to do with a so called "Broken Britain", if that exists anyway!
All the time individuals make a big drama with serious words over this "Broken Britain", and especially over just a TV programme, not the outbreak of civil riots, food shortages, power outages, law & order collapse, no medical treatment due to no medications being available, oh and WW3, then we continually talk the country down.
Lighten up, and think twice about using such serious, heavy implicated language on the OOF, if no where else, as we are NOT in a country with the previous mentioned disorders. Lets think ourselves lucky we do not! :y :y :y
Now I will go back into political hibernation (on the OOF) :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

id rather wipe my rse with crushed glass stuck on a sheet of paper, then rinse it in a bidet with running ralgex water after than watch that crap they call entertainment. ;D ;D

political thread on the OOF
I thought this was a thread about a trashy television show?
overstating things somewhat
That's somewhat subjective E - and I admire the breadth you have to embrace the current woes of the country - as far as I'm concerned we need to highlight the difference between perceived reality as depicted by such television content and the reality encountered in every day life.
overall low viewing ratings figures
Ratings are not necessarily the issue here as the trend in current television production - as well as some areas of the print media - is towards pandering to such an audience 'entertained' by such tripe. This inclination isn't fuelled by just one televission show but by many across the multi-platform network.
Broken Britain", if that exists anyway
I'm surprised to find that you don't feel we have a problem here.
big drama
Where is the big drama E? again this is subjective as I certainly remember a very big drama being made over certain events in the Middle East recently - although I held off commenting on it.
Your appreciation of what constitutes ‘drama’ certainly differs from mine.
Lighten up, and think twice about using such serious, heavy implicated language on the OOF,
Perhaps you should have considered that before starting your Israeli thread E - so it seems that I'm not the only member to use 'serious' language when posting here.
just a TV programme
This isn't just about a television programme E; it's about a general trend towards the banal, the make-believe, and the vicarious experience of life through the television screen and computer monitor.
not the outbreak of civil riots, food shortages, power outages, law & order collapse
Not yet E - and if you don't believe that any of this is possible then my view is that you're very much mistaken.
Finally, on the general point of this country being broken, we have seen over the recent past the general decline in the respect for our fellow citizens and the rule of law;
The dependence on the welfare society to get through life and the expectation of many that they are due to receive what they desire irrespective of whether they have the means to pay for it or not;
The increasing use of violence as a means to express dissatisfaction or to impress a will onto others;
The 'wide-boy' culture where anything seems to be acceptable in the quest for the individual to achieve their goals;
Incompetent government, that certainly over the recent past, seemed to be steeped in the theoretical rather than the practical;
A legal system that seems to being geared to punish by way of immediate penalty dispended by a cadre of untrained individuals only too pleased to mete out such punishments as a means of guaranteeing their jobs and a system where the notion of being innocent until proven guilty seem to have become an inconvenience for certain elements within the justice system.
The list is almost endless so I'll end this by saying that I'm only too pleased to comment on these issues as I feel that this nation and its apparatus is broken and that sentiments to the contrary - whilst valid - have been responsible for allowing, us as a nation, to have wandered doe-eyed to a point where many think that there's nothing much worrying about.

1. So did I Zulu until you added a political slant to it by quoting with serious language "Broken Britain" Hardly the language to associate with TV and Big Brother! :o :o
2. The words you used Zulu are dramatic when linked to the political implications ::) ::)
3. So you think the Israeli incident wasn't dramatic then? That amazes me, but still that is your opinion :y :y
4. ..........and to continue, so you didn't think that the Israeli incident justified "serious language"? Again, I am amazed and perhaps that explains how you cannot differentiate between the vocaburary to be used when discussing a TV programme and an international event. :D
-
Oh well then, here goes - I'll probably watch it. Utter shite as all of you have said but I always end up getting into it.
Sad? Without any doubt at all :-[ ;D

Following from E's post as there was no room left to quote.
Hardly the language to associate with TV and Big Brother
Why not E, do you not think such television requires comment and that it is unlikely to engender a line of thinking in its aficionados?
The words you used Zulu are dramatic when linked to the political implications
I'm glad that you recognise what I'm driving at E.
So you think the Israeli incident wasn't dramatic then?
It certainly was E, but how justified were you in using the language you chose - was this to make a point? - To show your dissatisfaction with the situation you decided to comment on?
Again, I am amazed and perhaps that explains how you cannot differentiate between the vocaburary to be used when discussing a TV programme and an international event.
That's a bit of a cheap shot E if I might say so, I am more that capable of understanding the import of such language.
Perhaps it's necessary to worry more about what's happening within the curtilage of our own borders – and the potential it holds - than to be overtly concerned about an intractable problem overseas.
My use of language in this context is as valid as yours - especially when considering the current situation in this country, unless you feel that you're the only one capable and justified to use language in this way?

i liked the series where the contestants were all eaten by zombies ;D :y

I don't watch much telly & having a short attention span do'nt watch films/movies either which many of you do. I've honestly never seen Star Wars (sorry Darth Lorraine Kelly) & more recently any Matrix & other popular even more recent stuff. I fall asleep or go in the garage/kitchen..anywhere else really. I'm sure many of you love movies so each to thier own.
That said if i do watch telly i do so lying in bed at the end or beginning of the day. News in the morning & complete bubble gum trash in the evening, so yes i will have a look. I love the way it's an experiment. Put in a few demented, add some deluded & top up with one or two clever ones to patronize the idiots,a couple of gays, deprived of news, pencil & paper, music & set them against each other with little or no money/food privacy, sit back in our own surroundings & watch the fireworks.
Last time entertainment was this cruel was in Roman arenas.
