What?From house delays to presenter schedules and ITV reality schedule
What?From house delays to presenter schedules and ITV reality schedule
It’s not so much the delay I find questionable but the fact that they didn’t foresee how front loaded their scheduled was until recently.TV shows getting delayed by months is not unusual at all - the initial rumours were for the autumn anyway.
IMO the show only needs one presenter and AJ is different enough from previous presenters that her alone is enough for the refreshed vision ITV have for the show.Much deserved and amazing to go from being axed from the spin off to hosting the main show in a decade, though she is a different class of presenter nowadays.
Worth remembering last week though Roman Kemp was reportedly about to sign a deal so nothing is final until it's final. I wouldn't actually mind to see them co-hosting. That would at least set it apart from what has come before.
I would watch, but it's a baffling commission that will struggle to pull in viewers. A documentary would have probably made more sense, and is cheaper to produce.ITV are reportedly set to commission a drama based around the early years of Big Brother too, supposedly around Ruth Wrigley and her role in making it a success.
Even as a massive fan of the original incarnation that's a pretty hard sell.
I agree.I would watch, but it's a baffling commission that will struggle to pull in viewers. A documentary would have probably made more sense, and is cheaper to produce.
Source?Another little titbit of info picked up from elsewhere is that as I suspected the delay from the Spring to the Autumn next year is nothing to do with scheduling but all to do with the house. The initial plan was for it to be at Bovingdon as widely predicted but it fell through, so they're now having to look elsewhere.
I can appreciate the obvious need to announce something like this in advance while also acknowledging how much of a disastrous this rollout appears to be. Leaving it be just a rumour until they could work out more of the details would have been a much better idea IMO.Well they have to announce itself early enough for auditions. Trouble is now fans expect, irrationally in some cases, to be informed of every decision along the way.
October is very late though and I agree it might slip to Spring 2024. Whether they'll be another Winter Love Island next January looks doubtful as the series airing now has been a ratings gs flop with absolutely zero buzz around it.
