  1. Just to clear something up because it seems to be repeated a lot here: Village do not have purpose built television facilities. The do not have technical control rooms, green rooms, catering facilities, audience holding areas, motorised lighting trusses, epoxy floors, or any of the other things that are required for television broadcast - particularly live TV. They are film production facilities - sound stages. Essentially large sheds with plywood floors, black walls and large doors. They could be used for television production - game shows, or other studio-based shows - but everything from lighting trusses to green rooms, make up trucks and Outside Broadcast trucks would need to be hired and brought in - like they are for films which typically have higher budgets. If you're bringing in all of that, you could film in any old shed. Big Brother is usually a windowless house (which is possible in a sound stage) with a back yard. It would not be possible to do this at VRS in the Sound Stages. The lot is too busy with too many other productions happening at the same time. You would see the sound stages from any exterior shot, and you would hear the coasters (and top golf), trucks and forklifts and construction crews building sets. To shoot Big Brother on Village property, you'd need to construct a purpose-built house somewhere back near Paradise Country, at which point you're in the same position as doing the same thing at Dreamworld. Purpose built TV studios and film studios are not the same thing. The current VRS lot is more like warehouses built on a car park. They could be used for studio-based TV - something like Dancing with the Stars or The Voice, but they really are not setup for a show like Big Brother. Sorry for the long essay, but I think it's good for people to understand the difference.

  2. A teaser for the next season of Big Brother, returning to Dreamworld. The caption of the video says “something BIG is coming” and the music is reminiscent of Big Brother as are the computer glitch effects over the video. The people on the tower would be hosts, maybe Gretel is back as well, it will be on Channel 10 again.

  4. Knowing what the park’s awful management is like these days, it’ll probably remain where it is now permanently.
