Big Brother Up Late coming to GO!

At 7pm it will be "family friendly" but Big Brother will also offer an "up-late" off-shoot on GO!

No surprises here….

An “up late” off-shoot of Big Brother will air on GO! when the Reality juggernaut launches on Nine after the Olympics.

Nine is promising a “family friendly” edition at 7pm, but it remains to be seen how racy a late-night edition will be on its digital channel.

The Up Late series previously hosted by Mike Goldman on TEN was very popular with fans, and included content that couldn’t be screened earlier in the night, including nudity.

Having a late night edition on its digital channel will add to Nine’s overnight network shares, rather than seeing numbers on GO! taper off.

The announcement was made this morning by Nine Entertainment Co.’s group sales and marketing director Peter Wiltshire before key media buyers.

    I do believe he will “return” but there are conditions about it. Like David said “it will be more a family friendly version” However i do believe mike goldman will return but only on different part of the Big brother show… More perhaps where they might have the big brother – game show Or whatever the case may be. Who knows it is quite too early to fully predict what is going to be like what is going to be about other then the big brother – updates after the ACA. But i have the sense that Mike goldman will return but doing something diferent. Could be the part where they might do the games only.. I also have a feeling that (thursday nights) there will be a big brother game show… Does anyone remember that back in 2002/2003 ? it used to have one on a thursday night inside the big brother house and that all the housemates had to guess questions been answered and or find the keys to win 500.00 dollars and more or free chocolate bar or such.

  2. Uplate will not be the same without Mike Goldman, he is the one that made it so popular. We need Mikey to have something to do with Big Brother since he is not hosting (shame channel 9 he would of been the perfect host)

    Mikey to do Uplate…Pleeeeaase

  3. Great news. I first didn’t new (big brother – up late) would ever return and specially on channel 9. But from what you heard from the media it seems like new thing for channel 9.

    I because i know how to predict things as ive been following this forum for a very long time since the start of 2012. And each time i predict such thing for BB i am always right and there you go. Instead of been back stap. Now… I do believe Mike Goldman will return and because he was quite popular in the uplate of big brother on channel 9 im sure channel 9 has him allready sign the contract, But to keep it a top secret to the rest of the world. Mike nows he is actually returning but on channel 9 as new.

    Go channel which is part of ch9 is that channel lets me (record with a digital standard dvd recorder machine or is GO channel some kind of HD channel as HD channels will not record unless i have a HD recorder dvd machine.

    Anyhow this is great news. However… Go channel needs to change the ugly logo something alittle more profetional and change the promos style and visual effects.. At this stage Go channel looks like some 80s retro boring visual channel. For these who don’t no what im talking about.. Look at Go channel how big the logo is on the screen. Very eye sore. I beleive there will be a eye with Go name ontop of that for the logo.

  4. Please, don’t bother with Up Late unless Mike Goldman is hosting it. I know we all said the same thing about Big Brother and Gretal – Kyle and Jackie O killed it for Ten, and as it is we are going to have to see how we go with Sonia, so please Channel 9, for even just some of us purists, give us Mike at least for Up Late. If you throw in Bree as well, I will be one happy fan. Thousand Bucks Five Minutes!!!!! Bring Back Mike and Bree for late nite TV!

  5. Yes I totally agree you need mike goldman hosting up late or what ever they call it I also agree that the housemates should not be allowed to talk about nominations I dont like it that he uk version lets them talk about it now

    I agree that BBUK is not the same without Davina but I still like it

  6. Ever since Up Late begun.. Mike Goldman kept us watching. He kept late night TV entertaining for the entire time BB was on – which is a bloody hard job to do! Even when the housemates are sleeping, Mike made it interesting. It would be great to see Mike back on the couch for Up Late!

  7. With Nine showing stuff on GO! with cussing etc like for one The Inbetweeners at 9:30pm in the past, that time-slot would be good for a later version of Big Brother as the house would still be up and 9:0pm is not as restricted (and more convenient for most people).

  8. Mike must be host, he knows the show better than anyone & has a style of humour that suits BB to a T!! I also hope that Aus BB doesn’t change the rules & allow noms discussions like UK have, once that happens all the sheep follow & the whole show turns too predictable.

  9. BB needs UpLate to make the show work – it’s a chance to get to know the housemates without fierce editing – and when we know the housemates, we are interested in them and we watch the show. I used to look forward to UpLate when there we tasks on – and it’s all about the humour – make me laugh! Which leads me to Mike Goldman – I am hoping because we saw a glimpse of him on Channel 9 a couple of weeks ago he is now part of their “stable” and is once again taking the show on. It has to be Mike; funny and clever enough to make the show flow when the housemates were asleep. Some of BB’s funniest moments happened on UpLate – and not all by the housemates, Mike was hilarious at times. So, let’s keep hoping – we’ve now been assured of UpLate, which we were all hoping for, let’s hope the next thing we hear is that Mike is hosting. Considering it’s the old fans leading the news ones to it – and we all want Mike – let’s hope we have a good chance of seeing Mike on UpLate again.

  10. Mike Goldman is the obvious choice, it wouldn’t be BB without him. Put someone else in, they’ll stuff it up and you will regret not having Mike there. Keep the winning formula 🙂

  11. Mike goldman is the show of uplate, i think you would be doing damage to the show if you don’t use him! Also Bree Amer was fantastic too and she should be considered! Looking forward to seeing channel 9 version i hope it’s a winner!

  12. It will not be family friendly, but there has been both positive and negative feedback of the return of Big Brother in general. I am curious as to whether people are going to watch, I hope they do. It was a great show in its early years and spiralled downhill in them last couple of seasons. Uncut is an element of the show that must be included and GO! is a great channel for that to be on. They should have a channel that streams live, 24/7 but that is a little far fetched. I hope they make this show back into what it was not what is become. Good to hear they are using the same music, happy about that. Season 8’s was crap.

  13. They definitely need to bring back Mike Goldman to host the new uplate.

    Absolutely amazingly funny guy made the show and wouldnt be the same without him

  14. Mike Goldman was the reason why BB Up Late was so popular. His quick wit, flippancy and cheeky humour surpasses every so called comedian we have in Australia. Never a dull moment with Mike…… I hope 9 gets it right and gives the viewers what they want. Please.
