OK, there's been several things bugging me this series (most of which you can read about here (http://www.bbspy.co.uk/views/brekkie)), but one thing which really irritates is how poor the clips are used to open the show.
They're supposed to be one of the highlights of the show, or something a bit cryptic which will intrigue you enough to stay tuned - but no, they prefer to use clips such as a 40-year old man jumping off a box, a 40-year old man eating his dinner and a 40-year old man engaging in a bit of cockney rhyming slang.
The previews used into the breaks are generally much more worthy of a place pre-titles, but the reason I bring this issue up today is the clip used to promote today's show earlier today on C4 (and I've seen more BB promo's today than at any point during the series) was so much more enticing - Ulrika on the edge of a break down.
And talking of the promos - the current ad campaign may be a bit tired but the day to day promos work pretty well - and IMO it's how they should start the show, having the theme underneath the teaser scene and then crashing straight into the titles.
