Flagship TV reality show Big Brother is getting even bigger.
Fans were given good news today when TV bosses announced it was being given double the airtime of previous years.
In a move which could leave viewers fed-up of reality shows even more down in the mouth, Big Brother Five will be broadcast for a staggering 64 hours during its first fortnight.
This compares with the 38 hours of airtime Big Brother Four received during its first two weeks.
Channel Four is expected to continue the pattern for the show's entire 12-week run.
And if this years BB turns out to be boring you can always watch this :laugh:
However, if you would prefer to watch paint dry ... turn over to satellite channel UKTV Style.
Its new reality show will allow viewers to watch paint dry on a shop wall each day.
Watching Paint Dry kicks off tomorrow.
