The first of the countdown adverts has aired on Channel 4 today, marking the 10 days until Big Brother 10 begins.

The promo is in the same style as all the previous adverts, with the number 10 forming among the moving blocks of the eye. The show’s narrator Marcus Bentley has returned to provide the voiceover.

Even in a 5-second teaser Marcus manages to over narrate things!

It’s official advertising will be nothing more than eye flashes and countdown ads yet again this year, so disappointed.

I’m really disappointed with the advertising this year. Yes, they’re artistically good with nice flashly, slick graphics but it’s all style and no substance really. I was hoping for something more really.

“It’s not what you expect”? Well, so far it’s completely the opposite. Something like “Black Friday” was needed to intice casual viewers who have perhaps lost faith in the series over the past couple of years.

It would be better if a girl said 10 days like 4 bb7

Something on a grander scale would go down a treat too. Even if it was the odd billboard with a message that would really confuse the public a few weeks beforehand and then on the adverts for the series tie it in with Big Brother. The entire Black Friday idea was fantastic and something as intriguing needs to be done again.

they really needed something better than this.

Really dissapointed.

[...] new advert - which first aired at around 8.30am, just before Frasier - is identical to the ‘10 days to go‘ advert from yesterday, except for the change of number [...]

I like the echo on Marcus’s voice. It sort of hides his over done narration
