London's a huge city, it's only on the tip if you live in the parts of North London where the transport's right for getting to Elstree. I had 90+ min commutes each way when I lived in South London and worked on BB. The whole crew had to be based in Elstree at least five days a week for the best part of five months. Distance certainly was a consideration for a lot of people when every other TV job was in central London most of the week (including Strictly). By the end BB struggled staffing when Love Island came along and was the big new thing that everyone was talking about. Plus you'd get to live in the sun for 3 months and not have to pay for any food and transport!

We'll have to agree to disagree but I am aware our capital is quite big, thanks for that lol. People have commutes everywhere, including across London the other way. I wouldn't put Elstree in the same commute league as places like Pinewood or Maidstone. Or Bovingdon!
