Is Big Brother past its sell-by date?

Big Brother is facing the axe after Channel 5 boss Ben Frow admitted he’d be happier without it in the schedule, following a drop in viewing figures.

YES 64%

NO 36%

No. Those who don’t like Big Brother don’t have to watch it. Some of us do actually like watching the show. SOPHIE

No. But it should be taken back to basics. Stop all the wannabees getting in there. It started as a social experiment, not a ladder to fame. LISA BARR

Yes. It’s time to axe it. I am a huge BB fan but it hasn’t been the same for years now. They just don’t put normal folk in any more. SAM PERRY

Yes. I can’t actually believe it lasted for 18 years. I hate this programme – it’s utter tripe. ROSE WARD

Yes. Someone with brains at last! This so-called show should have been culled years ago. GEOFF

No. Summer is not summer without Big Brother. Watching it is a tradition in our house. JULIE GREIG
