Question of the week: will Big Brother work on Channel 5?

13 April 2011 Rob Buckley 1 Comment

So if you haven’t heard, Richard Desmond, owner of various pornographic television stations and publications, as well as the Daily Star and Daily Express (yes, there is some tautology there), has acquired for the princely sum of £200m the rights to make new series of Big Brother on Channel 5. 

Yes, £200 million. For two years.

So the big question this week is:

Is Richard Desmond mental? Can Big Brother even be made to work on Channel 5? If it can, can he ever recuperate £200m with it? And will you watch it?

Answers below or on your own blog, please!

Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. Don’t forget to include your name in the filename so I don’t get mixed up about who sent it to me.

The best pic in the stash each week will appear on Tuesday and get ten points; the runners up will appear on Friday (one per person who sends one in) and get five points.

You can also enter the witty and amusing captions league table by commenting on Tuesday’s Sitting Tennant photo, the best caption getting 10 points, everyone who contributes getting five points.
