Hmm I don't know though, not many people watch BB religiously like they used to and hence why these full explanations are needed. But I agree when Marcus goes into every minute detail it's a bit unneeded.



I think with BB though most people can get the grasp of what's going on without watching every episode - and generally it becomes obvious in the scene that follows Marcus's long winded explanation anyway.

If they want to recap events, add a "Previously..." segment at the beginning.

No! It's bad enough with the "Coming up..." segment. I'm obviously watching, so why do I need to see it twice? Confused

I don't need to see again what I've just watched aswell!

The coming up segment is key to keeping viewers attention during a break - no, really, it works. Countless times I've thought 'pfff, break, I'll just turn over now' on many programmes, but because I've seen something interesting is coming up, I've changed my mind.

Equally, with a serialised show, a 'previously' segment is often important to viewers who missed the last show - in fact, with some busy shows, it helps you remember things you may have missed when there's a long period between shows.

Tsk, Jugalug. What have I said about you watching 'live TV'? If you were using a PVR you wouldn't be waiting around when adverts come on in the first place! Laughing

Unless you are expecting someone on here to confirm it from personal knowledge, then apparently he is according to 'tinternet info...

Stage diving with a Big Brother crowd is not a good idea. Unfortunately for Stu, he learnt the hard way!

I quite enjoyed that though, its just a shame it didn't go on until 1am Sad

They could have easily shown the disco on 4Music and normal live streaming on E4.

Or put something else on E4 for the duration? Seemed a bit pointless having the same live feed on both channels.

And it defeated the point. Not only did it keep cutting away from the party to Rex and Nicole smoking (instantly questioning the logic of putting the feed on a so-called music channel) but the party didn't last very long yet the feed continued until 1am.
