Only Fools had a live audience. The shows were a combination of live stage performances, and then the entire played before a live audience whose laughter was recorded.

Ah yes. Getting mixed up.

Feel free to respond to the actual content of my post, though.

Don't like? Don't watch. Simple. I for one have loved this series more than most regular BB's

Can you be more specific about which part of your post?

I watch, and I'm a critic.

How Big Brother is attempting to sex up the show and paper over the lack of raw material by throwing in montage, soundtracked footage for forty of the one thousand two hundred seconds or so of the show.

I'm enjoying it.

Best series in a while. I haven't laughed so many times during a BB series in years. Loving it.

Well, you said it beautifully yourself, "How Big Brother is attempting to sex up the show and paper over the lack of raw material"

the fact is it did, and it's a departure from anything which went before.

I don't object to editing for the sake of time, and there has always been editing.

I do object to music being added to the raw footage of the house. Raw footage is raw footage. It's a signal that the raw footage is dul.

This series has been so dull and lacking in events and hl's, it has needed gravy to make it taste alright, or edible.

Again, even though it's for a meaningless 40 seconds of the show? And that means they have a lack of footage?

I don't know, was it only 40 seconds.

They've never had to tart things up before, and they've produced better hl programmes.

You know when you have a rum meal, or you gotta eat your shoe, like Chalie Chaplin, you need lots of salt and pepper.

This series is like an old shoe.

I think we're going to see more of this tarting-up/canned laughter type of **** when Sky take over.

An awful lot of the posters on here haven't got a lot between their ears, and they're going to love it.
