The results of this unique experiment will be shown on Channel 4

An edited version will be shown as part of the 4Learning schools programming in January 2004.



Exactly the same as the channel 4 show except for the sex, the F words and any talk of intercourse.

Anyway, why would kids wont to watch this on 4Learning when they can see it on Channel 4 uncut? To be honest, I can’t see any or many schools showing this 4Learning program in class time. By the time its on, it will be old and past it, boring to watch with the best bits gone, and anyway what are modern 14 year old school students going to learn by watching kids unblock a toilet?
4Learning wont commission a 2nd series of this!

I have to agree with you there, why did they would commission this for 4 Learning, for a start Schools use video tapes, my old High School still has stuff taped from the 1980's from ITV which they still use. We even watched Your Living Body once! No point commissiong it for 4 Learning, it would be better off on E4 or something, plus it has no educational value, or unless Channel 4 want to boost the ratings from 9.30am-12.00pm.

The word "teen" is normally taken as the abbreviation for "teenager"; and means a person between 13 and 19. Normally used in connection with puberty and the attendant physical and emotional changes.

By making all the contestants 18, this removes half the associations one makes with the word "teen".

Channel 4 daytime scheduling is non-sensical at present : "I know, lets move our longest-running program to a slot an hour earlier, with a lower potential audience" and what do they replace it with A.N. other program about buying property abroad.

Time warp news just in

Report filed: 20th July 2033 by Moira Stewart clone #347

The latest reality 3D-TV event has launched today on C4I (the former Channel 4 International station):
Big Brother Moon .
18 contestants were taken by SuperShuttle to the newly-built Endemol house situated in a small crate acquired last year by the production company. They will remain in the house for the next 14 weeks, deprived of any contact with Earth, except the voice of Big Brother, who will control what they do. Each week, the public on Earth can vote by videophone, cerebral implant or telepathy for the contestant they wish to see evicted, who will then have to step into the airlock and be exposed to the near vacuum outside.
In the brief few seconds before death occurs, Davina McColl neural clone #984 will be downloaded into their brain for a debrief / interview, which will be uncondensed and shown later in the evening.
Rumours are already beginning about whether one of the contestants will be a transexual.

The trailers have begun. I wonder if O2 are sponsoring it considering it was made for 4 Learning?
