So Big Brother is to be axed from Channel 4 according to an The Sun. Let's hope the news is true. The show has really run its course. That has been said several times in the past but with ratings falling every year it was a surprise that Channel 4 signed another three-year deal with Endemol, meaning...
And that's a good thing because traditionally it has been the easiest and laziest thing for people to write about and guarantee a few cheap hits. But while researching a piece for next week's mag about how the series is doing I've realised that no-one is watching it or cares about what's...
Does it? A god given right? I'm not sure it does. Channel 4 needs to accept facts, embrace the future, and realise with few options left its future lies with Five. Looking at Channel 4 what's clear is that you can watch a lot of what it broadcasts on any channel. Think about it: 'Big Brother'...
Tonight, more Big Brother shenanigans begin with a re-tweaked format that sees what are being described as "pure prodigies" take to the stage with various stars lending their hand. OK, if you insist, but really Channel 4, rather than acting like an addict who can't give up, you should have...
How much more of this can anyone take? Another series of 'Big Brother’ and another racism row. This time involving 19-year-old Tory girl, Emily Parr, who called a black housemate the 'N' word. Yes, she might not have done it maliciously, but Emily did it all the same. We all realise...
Last night's 'Big Brother' began with an apology, not for the tabloid heaven that was to follow, but for what we had already been subjected to. If Gordon Brown was having second thoughts about how to deal with the budget deficit, he should not think twice about selling off the ratings-obsessed...
There's an MP involved, so it must be serious if the scent of free electoral publicity has wafted its way to the House of Commons. Worse still for Channel 4, Carphone Warehouse might review its lucrative multimillion-pound sponsorship forcing the broadcaster to do something. The count is all over...
I watched 'Celebrity Big Brother' again and liked it. Although I'm worrFied about poor Ken Russell.I think it might be getting better or my taste for low brow is plumbing new depths. It really is just like Channel 4 said, an eclectic mix they have this time. And Ken Russell (he of 'Lady...
Channel 4 seems to have got into a spot of bother with its ‘Big Brother’ Golden Ticket competition and now it's being investigated by Ofom. At first you have to wonder if Ofcom doesn't have anything better to do. It can't be that serious can it? Well if it's all a big con...
What a sham. The whole Big Brother Golden Ticket competition looks to me like a fix. Just the kind of manipulation one would expect from an Orwellian invention. New entrant Suzie has auditioned for the show before, she was a guinea pig trial contestant in Big Brother 5, she was in the final auditions...
