what happened to big brother bit on the side last night???? why did it switch channel and presenter and why has "ok tv when bruv takes over" gone back to its original name "OK TV???"

if they keep changing names of programmes, changing schedule times of programmes channel 5 will lose viewers! i never know when it on this is the problem channel 4 starting doing shifting the reality show around other programmes to boost the ratings for other programmes but as a whole it doesn't work as viewers get confused!

also were they being taticle by starting it in the last 5mins of x factor??

and ive never heard of 5star is "bit on the side" promoting the channel by sending channel 5 viewers its way (however means less viewers"

whats going on channel 5 get it together before you lose viewers!!!!

ActuallY I thought that Bit on the Side wasn't being broadcast at weekends ( because it wasn't on channel 5)!

'Bruv Takes Over' was just a subtitle and never appeared in the EPG as part of the show title, so I doubt it.

And are you sure it wasn't a repeat, as the show only airs on weekdays at 6.25pm. 5 Star (or 5* as it is spelt) is the new name for Fiver, which was previously called Five Life.

No no, what it is is that Emma only does it on weekdays, on the weekends, the presenters are Alice Levine and the Holy Moly bloke. As for the channels, I'm guessing it was shown on channel 5 only because its just started and they are trying to work out when to show what, when to air whatever shows that air at that time. I presume the channel that BBBOTS will usually air on will be 5*.

It will be back on Channel 5 on Monday?

Through the weekdays, it will be on Channel 5 and fronted by Emma. Emma has the weekends off, on the weekends it changes to 5* and Alice/Holy Moly take the reins!

More like Alice takes the reins and Holy Moly carries on sitting there doing nothing. :hugesmile: I don't even understand why he's there.

I didn't watch it last night, I sky+'d it and haven't had chance to watch it back yet. I was told it was quite bad last night?

It was awful, I honestly wouldn't bother watching it if I were you. It was so embarrassing watching it, I don't know who writes it but they seriously need to be sacked.

I want it to be more like Big Brother's Big Mouth, BBBOTS is just too random and boring, for example the dog :bored:

The whole BBBOTS being on 5* annoys me, I can't get the channel, I'd never even heard of it a few days ago!

The fact ony 159 thousand people watched it last night suggests they need to find a permanent slot for it and stop moving it they are really dire figures.

There is an handy BB TV Guide here: http://www.bigbrothersite.co.uk/features/tv-guide/ explains which days it's on Channel 5 and which are on 5*

Enjoy :)

totaly agree its got so silly and whats with the story telling! the only time i can see this show being good is when they bring on the evicted housmate to chat like apprentice style "your fired" panel show format! im guessing they will do this!

but as for the rest the format is crap for this show, which makes me laugh as the production team have so much experience with bblb and bbbm!
