It\u2019s been more than three years now since Big Brother UK aired its final episode \u2013 and according to Marcus Bentley, the time is right for a return.<\/p>\n
The long-time narrator sent out a tweet yesterday in response to the news that a new season of the Australian version of Celebrity Big Brother is set to air on E4 in the near future, simply writing: \u201cInteresting.\u201d<\/p>\n
And although Bentley said that the news doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that a revived UK series will be back on our screens any time soon, he has exclusively told RadioTimes.com<\/a> that enough time has passed since the show was cancelled for a return to be welcome.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is nothing that compares to Big Brother and I believe that the viewers have missed it dearly, especially the January edition of Celebrity Big Brother, which always delivered the new year with a bang,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cBig TV shows often need a rest \u2013 look at The X Factor<\/a>. Big Brother has had that now and if it came back it would be refreshed and ready to go and I believe there is a viewer appetite for it.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cI\u2019m led to believe, via Twitter, that E4 are having an Australian-themed season \u2013 so this may not be heralding a new dawn for our BB, but I\u2019ll be watching and hoping that our show returns.\u201d<\/p> Big Brother was cancelled in 2018 after seven years on Channel 5, with the reality show having first become a major sensation during its decade-long run on Channel 4 between 2000 and 2010.<\/p>\n In 2020, Channel 4 boss Ian Katz ruled out a return for the show any time soon<\/a>, telling the audience at the virtual Edinburgh Television Festival that there were currently \u201cno plans\u201d to revive it.<\/p>\n But fans of the show will be hoping that that stance could change in the future \u2013 and Bentley for one certainly seems to be on board.<\/p>\n Looking for something to watch tonight?
