Interestingly in 2006 Ch4 bid ÂĢ180 million pounds for the rights to broadcast BB for a further 5 years.
Was it not during 2006 that they really started interfering with the prog. The Nikki saga as mentioned etc. Was this to try and recoup the money.
Result: F minus.

It's a great question, OP.
Loads of media studies people are trying to answer your question. (Even PhDs.)
There's a guy who says that there's a cycle for each and every audience: It goes:
Innovation (BB 1 and 2), Convention, Cliche, and Self-parody.
But, sometime back BB went beyond self-parody into the GROTESQUE.

I read somewhere that this type of show has a 'shelf life' of about eight years. People have been losing interest in it for a few years now. The same thing will happen with 'The X Factor' etc, I expect. Nothing lasts forever (except, perhaps, for Bruce Forsythe)
