Current shows


Big Brother

'''Big Brother''' is a nightly show, featuring highlights of events that have occurred in the Big Brother House on the previous day. Narrated by Marcus Bentley, the show is sometimes referred to as the 'Channel 4 Show', the 'catch-up show', the 'main show' or the "highlight show". On Fridays, ''Big Brother'' is aired as a part of ''Big Brother Live Eviction''. There is no title of 'Big Brother' during the opening sequence or after advert breaks as the Big Brother Eye is known to most people.
Big Brother UK has the greatest number of series of Big Brother throughout the world, a total of 14, and has been on air for 604 days. Big Brother 8 began on 30 May.
Big Brother Live Eviction

'''Big Brother Live Eviction''' is broadcast on Fridays at 8:30pm on Channel 4, and is presented by Davina McCall.
The first fifty minutes of the show are highlights of the previous day, shown in the same format as ''Big Brother''. At around 9:25pm, Davina will "talk to the house" and announce the latest evictee before the show breaks at 9:30pm.
The show returns at 10:00pm when the housemate with the largest percentage of the public vote is evicted and interviewed by Davina. At the end of the interview, the evictee is shown their "best bits", a compilation of their most memorable moments in the house.
''Live Eviction'' is often extended if something special is happening that night, such as new housemates or a double eviction or a secret task.
Big Brother's Little Brother

'''Big Brother's Little Brother''' is a magazine television programme that airs on Channel 4 and E4, running in conjunction with each series of ''Big Brother''. Presented by Dermot O'Leary, the programme looks at ''Big Brother''-related activities outside the House and features interviews with celebrities, journalists and friends and family of housemates, and sometimes recently evicted housemates. The show is filmed in The George Lucas Stage at Elstree Studios, which is only a short walk from the main house itself.
The show was first aired on May 29 2001 as a part of ''Big Brother 2'', Natalie Casey was a co-host with Dermot for the first week that year. It is shown every Sunday morning as part of Channel 4's T4 slot as well as on E4 during the week.
For ''Celebrity Big Brother 2006'', broadcast in January 2006, ''Big Brother's Little Brother'' was moved to a morning slot of 8 a.m. on Channel 4 and renamed '''Big Brother's Little Breakfast'''. It was moved back to its previous timeslot on E4 for Big Brother 7 and subsequent series.
Features

Over the years, ''Big Brother's Little Brother'' has had many features introduced from quizzes to secret cameras. The following is a list of some of the items the show has launched:

★ 'Little Brother's Big News' - featured on all series of the show. Dermot reports on recent news items, with accompanying video clips. O'Leary often interacts with the audience for comic effect.

★ 'Little Brother's Big Shout', formerly known as 'Call BBLB' - At the start of the show, viewers are invited to call, text, e-mail, and appear via webcam, to give opinions on topical issues in the house. This is the final item on the show, and the discussion will usually include any celebrity guests that appear on the show.

★ A 'Hidden Camera' section, where footage is shown from a camera hidden within an object in the house. The first of these was 'Fridge Cam', which appeared during the third Celebrity series. 'Gnome Cam' followed in (BB6), where a hidden camera was placed within a garden gnome. 'Queen Cam' was hidden in the eye of a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, and , most recently, 'Bunny Cam' was added to a rabbit-sculptured topiary. Bunny Cam was later destroyed by BB7 housemate Glyn as he used it to climb down from the roof of the house.

★ 'The Insider' - is a man that stands behind a wall of frosted glass. The Insider often reveals exclusive news, such as nominations results and unexpected twists or tasks. The Insider's identity is unknown.

★ 'The B-Team' - A parody of the A-Team, 4 ex-housemates from the present a video a clip, in which they interview people on their thoughts of the events in the house. As of Series Eight, former housemates Glyn, Nikki, Shahbaz and Sprial (from BB7) host it.
Big Brother's Big Mouth

'''Big Brother's Big Mouth''', formerly named '''Big Brother's Eforum''', was introduced with ''Big Brother 5'', hosted by Russell Brand. The first series of the show was broadcast at 7.30 p.m. on E4 before being moved to a post-watershed slot, immediately after the Channel 4 highlights show, where it has since remained. A studio audience of fans and two celebrity guests discuss the latest happenings in the Big Brother House, while viewers are able to contribute via phone, e-mail, text polls, or by leaving a message on the 24-hour 'Mouthpiece' rant line. As of 2007, Russell is no longer presenting this show and the replacement for Russell was separated into guest presenters as listed below.
Characters

During the series presented by Russell Brand, several regular characters were featured on the show.
'That Whale ': That Whale is an anthropomorphic whale who speaks with a Scouse accent. He shows little interest in Big Brother but seems adamant that he has a right to be on the show and still turns up regardless. Due to his obnoxious behaviour he was asked by Russell to no longer come on the show. His trademark saying is 'You Shithouse!' He only comes on the show now to find another male to make love with, since he came out as a homosexual.
'Rosebud the Horse': Rosebud the Horse is a very polite and well-spoken character who allegedly lives with Russell in his home, in which he works as his slave and is often mistreated and forced to carry out perverted misdemeanours by members of the "Womanising Circuit" including Beppe di Marco, Dean Gaffney and David Walliams. He dresses in the style of a country gent, with tweed jacket, smart shirt and tie. He is often treated badly by Brand; in one episode he slapped him in the face.
'Little Jon Connell': Little Jon Connell (born 1989 in Liverpool) normally appears in a scientist's lab coat to conduct a variety of experiments. His contraptions, which illustrate a number of Big Brother-related findings based on his scientific research, are regularly vilified and destroyed by Russell Brand. Jon Connell is known as a Big Brother expert, having appeared on the show since the age of 15, first as a panellist on 'EFourum' then later in a regular slot entitled 'The Connell Files'.
'Little Paul Scholes': Little Paul Scholes was a small doll with ginger hair, a nasal voice and snub nose, in a reference to the football player Paul Scholes. The doll was usually in the programme for a few minutes after the break in occasional shows and has a short conversation (often centring around his mistreatment) with Russell Brand, usually resulting in him being hit off the bench or sat on. He died in the final ''Big Brother's Big Mouth'' of ''Celebrity Big Brother 2007'' following the live final.
According to Brand, when he recorded a one-off special charting the previous seven series of the show, all of these characters have died. This was Brand's last time presenting as a Big Brother host.
'Russell's ballbags': Russell's scrotum, that seems to live a sensational life separate from Russell. One of them is the "younger, shyer bag", and the other is the "older, more confident bag". They were characters throughout series 7 and were replaced by some new "Dicksacks" for the 2007 Celebrity edition of the show.
'Big Kenneth': A friend of That Whale. Big Kenneth has appeared on the show once with That Whale in an attempt to beat up Russell and has also been round to Russell's house in an incident that may have led to an assault upon Beppe.
''Big Brother 8'' saw the introduction of the `Eyepiece’, for which viewers are invited to send in their views via mobile phone video messaging. It currently airs 4 nights a week with a series of guest presenters hosting the show for weekly stints.

Special Shows

A '''Special Show''' is a generally term that is used to describe any big brother show hosted by Davina instead of the usually highlight show (Eviction show is not a special show). Special shows usually occur on either Sunday, Wednesday or after 10:30pm on a Friday. They replace the highlight show and Davina is usually the host. If a special show occurs on a Sunday - a new housemate/s is/are going in. If there is a special show on a Wednesday -Eviction or a twist will take place and if the show is after 10:30 on a Friday then you can expect the show to either a twist, a new housemate/s or another eviction (or all three). Example of special show are Craig surprise eviction & Eugene winning £50,000 (BB6 - Wednesday) Chantelle becoming a celebrity (CBB4 - Sunday), Susie entering the house (BB7 - Friday) & Liam winning £100,000 (BB8 - Wednesday).
