Star keeps eager eye on Big Brother house

Despite 10 years of Big Brother (on Channel 4) coming to a close on Friday, Richard Desmond's Daily Star is keeping its candle burning for the original reality TV series. The paper reports that production company Endemol has submitted plans to keep Elstree Studios - which includes the BB house - open until 2013. Perhaps bosses at the Star are keeping close tabs on applications to Hertsmere council given the company's desire to bring the show to Desmond's newly-acquired Channel 5.
