Big Brother is returning for a fifth series in its homeland - Holland.

The Netherlands was the first country to air the format in 1999, where it went on to enjoy four successful series.

Former Endemol head and BB creator John de Mol has now poached the Dutch rights for the show as the centrepiece of his upcoming reality channel Talpa TV.

The fifth series will air over 100 days, beginning shortly after Talpa's launch in August.

Original producer Paul Romer is also back on board for the new outing. "Big Brother is the show that changed the face of television," he told C21. "We are delighted to be bringing it back to the Netherlands and working again with the man who first created it."

Dam beat to to it posting this one.
I hope it's on Yorin again as it's still possible to access the channel via the Astra satellites at 19.2E.
I thought they'd dropped it for 'The Farm'. Portugal are currently running their version of 'The Farm' as a replacement for BB.
There's going to be too many shows during August to keep track of.
