Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
I watched some of the very first series, back in the days when it was considered a social experiment. At the time it was a new concept for television and vaguely interesting although I must admit I never got hooked like everyone else seemed to. The problem was that the producers, rather than stick with a decent formula, felt the need to drop in more and more social misfits as the years went by until all they ended up with was a freak show with nowhere left to go.
I am glad that it was cancelled because quite honestly there is enough worthless tabloid television without adding to it. There is virtually nothing on that truly grips my attention any more and programmes which glorify people who are famous simply for being famous won't change that for me.
