Big Brother To Be Scrapped
« on: August 26, 2009, 09:30 »
'Boring' Big Brother 'to be scrapped by Channel 4' after ratings disaster.

Although C4 is contractually obliged to screen one final series, the next will be the last.

Whoopee!

It's not so much the programme itself that I don't like (I don't watch it) but all the attendant trivia which clogs up the media.

We just need to get rid of the soaps, X factor and its ilk, quiz shows with basic questions, anything with "celebrity" in the title and reality shows then we could possibly have some decent TV to watch.

Don't worry, it'll be replaced with something just as bad.  ;)

Years ago most of those contestants would have been safely locked up out of harm's way.  ;D

I believe so, David, somewhere in the region of £12K, but I don't know where I got that from.
