Their new series launches next week - it was recorded in October 2022.

I've no issue with a more competitive, strategic format - personally I'd have preferred our revival to be based on the US/Canada format, but understand why that wouldn't have been right for BBUK. However removing the live element just strips away the core element of the show that we discover things as the housemates do - and indeed sometimes as producers too. Big Brother works because in week one you don't know what's going to happen a few weeks down the line - but pre-recording it means the narrative is set in stone from the beginning.
