Channel 5′s Celebrity Big Brother launched tonight with 13 desperate Z-listers entering a mock up Alpine ski lodge, from where it was all ‘downhill’. Befuddled balsa model Brian Dowling marshalled a baying crowd of semi-literate proto-humans as the following disciples of the damned were herded to their spiritual doom ; Natalie Cassidy (Eastenders actress) described [...]

Moving a show to a new channel is always risky, but there are some TV juggernauts which are thought to be move-proof. Big Brother, with its mix of drama, voyeurism and unwitting stars was thought to be one of them, but all is not well down in Borehamwood. Big Brother is losing viewers rapidly, with [...]

Big Brother is back.  Channel Five has resurrected the main show, and last night’s episode provided the first real glimpse of the new housemates in action.  The episode struggled to get one million viewers, making it the lowest rated Big Brother episode to date – but I watched, as the rest of the nation couldn’t [...]

In an ambitious cross promotion actors  Anton Yelchin and Christopher Mintz-Plasse visited the Big Brother house to plug their new movie Fright Night. In last night’s highlights viewers were treated to an extended trailer in the first ad break before Yelchin and Mintz-Passe entered the house to deliver tickets to a special screening of the [...]

August 9th – usually around this time we would be tuning in to 24 hour footage of a group of misfits trying to get attention through anger and volatile behaviour. Funny how things change. With riots happening across the country and the government largely absent it was left to former Big Brother contestant Sam Pepper [...]

Oh God, here we go again. It’s apparently the final ever Celebrity Big Brother and rumours have been rife over who will be involved. I was excited to hear about Stephen Baldwin, the worst Baldwin brother, if only because his film Sharks in Venice is a breathtakingly awful piece of ‘cinema’ and I am keen [...]

with Kirsty Walker 21.00   Oh crikey, it’s starting and still no pics in the Channel 4 press area. FAIL! 21.03 So the ‘big twist’ is that they will test out the hate-ability of the housemates before they commit to one of them. Great idea cause one might be a nazi like last time. 21.04 HOUSEMATE [...]

Big Brother returns on Channel 4 (UK) soon for a tenth series, however End Of Show can report the show budget has been slashed, resulting in viewer-affecting changes. Changes include Channel 4 closing its Big Brother online forum (which cost “several hundred thousand pounds a year to run”), the complete removal of its live feed/streaming [...]

Davina’s back – but why is she dressed like one of the cyber-dogs from the Dr Who Christmas Special? LaToya Jackson is first in, OR!!! Is it just Michael in a wig? Think about it, it would be the perfect disguise. Mutya Buena gets booed because she comes across as quite a horrible human being [...]

Simon Pegg takes a look at E4′s “Dead Set” Dead Set was quality fare with solid performances, imaginative direction, good gore and the kind of inventive writing and verbal playfulness we’ve come to expect from the always brilliant Brooker. As a satire it took pleasing chunks out of media bumptiousness but more significantly, the aggressive [...]

Kirsty Walker is with you on the sofa for BB9.   Having held out for 14 days I feel it’s now time to launch into BB commentary. It’s become the ultimate big fat ugly fish in a barrel for TV reviewers but I like it. I’ve watched every series and I genuinely get into it [...]
