In other news there will be a second run of Celebrity Big Brother later in the Summer after the main series concludes.

BB must have a massive fan base to make a second run later in the summer, but many people I know including me who use to watch it no longer watch it.

I like Big Brother but three series a year is far to much just especially since they pretty much just left the house as it was last time.

Last year was understandable because there wasn't one in January, but we already had one this what is the point.

I would rather watch normal people then celebrities anyday beause they actually do something. Its good that channel 5 are finally making succesful programming but they shouldn't over do with Big Brother.

As far as I know they've only said a second Celeb is airing this year after the normal version. I don't really see them doing 3 series every year.

[Strangesam]

If they did do three series every year I could see the ratings decreasing etc.

The eye looks better than the last one at least but then you have to get better when it was ***** as that one.

The full length advert aired last night on Channel 5 just before The Walking Dead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIY9mVXAqZI&list=UUFkn332WI_1VJA3MmaiVghw&index=1&feature=plcp Have to say its a better advert than last years "Bruv Takes Over" ad, still no official launch date but its definitely the start of June.
