Big Brother is returning to TV next year. Think you'll be watching? Think again.

I didn’t spend years devoting my summers to Big Brother, a programme with no premise (plus Big Brother’s Little Brother, Big Brother’s Big Mouth, and live daytime coverage on E4), to see whether a load of nobodies in a compound with 10-foot walls and no windows would make friends. We loved to – were encouraged to – see them as desperate low-lifes who put themselves up for scrutiny and deserved all they got. By those last couple of series, Big Brother had lost all the fun and mischief, it was no longer galvanising a watercooler cultural conversation and instead felt seedy, downmarket, low-rent, contrived, mind-numbing, and pretty much all the other things my parents labelled it in the early Noughties when they banned me, an impressionable teenager, from watching it in the first place.

I think people want to see the more normal, ordinary contestants." On series one, Craig earned plaudits for his straight talking with "Nasty" Nick Bateman, who was caught trying to influence nominations by writing names on notes. I hope they take it back to basics like it was in the early series', rather than let it be guided too much by producers. When it finished on Channel 4 after that long run I think it was time for a break.
