Big Brother 9 Start Date Announced

The next series of Big Brother UK will start even later than it did last year, and it's a mammoth 13 weeks long again... so you'd better start getting some rest in preparation, BB fans!

Series 7 and 8 both ran for around 13 weeks, but prior to that, the series were up to 11 weeks long, with the original show in 2000 lasting just 9 weeks.

Frankly, here at Big Brother Online we feel that this year's show should definitely have been shorter and faster-paced to sustain the momentum; in fact we've been saying that for two years now.

However, we understand that Channel 4 don't want to be seen to be taking a step backwards, which might suggest withering popularity. But, with Big Brother 8 having reached a similar number of viewers to BB7 at peak, effectively the show is as popular as ever, despite the format being a creaky 8-years-old now.

Anyway, for all the fans who still haven't booked their summer holiday and have been waiting patiently for more news on BB9, you need to take into account that you won't be able to get away until early September without missing any of it.

Big Brother 9 starts at 9pm on Thursday the 5th of June 2008, a week later than last year, which is mainly so that Channel 4 won't have to go head-to-head with ITV's 'Britain's Got Talent'. The series will end on Friday the 5th of September 2008.

Dunno' about you, but we can't wait for it to get going now!

Stick with BBO for more information over the coming weeks.
