Unforseen difficulties?
 

They're not showing the 8:30 eviction show. It's on at 10 instead.

Something appears to be happening within the house, with internal feeds temporarily unavailable.

M.

Cameron has knived Lisa and there just cleaning up the place. There going to put Ricardo in of the Salon in her place as we probably won't tell the difference.

PS Eviction show is on at 9:00

The announcer said it was on at 10pm.

Oh my God!!

I switched over to C4 at 8:30 and Friends was showing. Then I switched onto E4 to the live feeds and there was only a shot of the garden on both screens.

This is a complete first! What has been going on????? Intruders into the house? Problems with the housemates?

:conf::conf::conf::conf::conf:

I think she said the 8:30 show would be on at 9:00 and the 10:00 at 10:30. I could have been wrong as I was not expecting it.

Bloody curious if you ask me.

I thought maybe Davina had had a twinge or something.

:conf:

Now I am thinking maybe a security scare, or indeed a health issue in the house. Do you think one of them has gone beserk? That would make good viewing, but I hope everyone is OK.

I hope Davina is ok,I wonder whats happened this has never been known before:conf::conf::conf:

10pm and then the eviction at 11.15 I believe.

Trying my hardest to find out atm... usual sources are a bit blank, so everyone's quite at a loss.

Shall find out soon... I hope. I don't think it's related to Davina, as we'd be still able to see the activities inside of the house... could be a security scare, could be Lisa perhaps?

We shall see soon.

I've just seen the message come up with bb will be on at 10.00 pm when friends started. They might be having sound problems again. :conf:

This is wierd I i was not all that curious with half an hour but an hour and a half. Maybe they have not made enough money on the phone voting yet. Sorry but I would not put anything passed BB at the mo.

This is from the digital spy live updates section as to what's been shown. From 7 - 8pm things seemed normal. Big Brother asked them to leave the garden at 7:28pm but they seemed to be out there again soon after.....

8.00pm: Both feeds show a high shot of the garden with the sound dipped; that's a good start...

8.02pm: Both feeds continue to show a high shot of the garden and the sound stays dipped, so I guess that after 43 days the E4 editors must've given up the ghost and either fallen asleep or quit.

8.04pm: Still no change, I'm afraid - at this rate I'll have to resort to the good ol' DS:BB Live Updates I-Spy game, providing there's enough people looking in...

8.06pm: Again, both feeds show the empty garden and the sound is dipped.

8.08pm: Still nothing...

8.10pm: Come to think of it, I'd rather watch the empty garden than Lisa's self-obsessed ramblings...

8.12pm: No change... Mercifully, we're taken to a commercial break, which makes for much better viewing even though the E4 promos showing are the same ones I've seen every day for the last six weeks.

8.18pm: Back from an ad break, and the same view of the house is shown with the same ambient sound accompanying it.

8.22pm: Still nothing apart from the above - what's going on?

8.27pm: Have a guess... at least there's another set of ads to come to the rescue.

Well, something must be happening as the C4 Friday night eviction result show has been cancelled! Goodness, I wonder what's happening...

8.32pm: E4 still showing the garden; this is quite a dramatic development and naturally we'll keep you posted.

It could be that the difficulties are outside the house and they don't want to show the housemates being told that the eviction is delayed.

yeah this IS weird, i turned on at 8.30 and it was friends, not that i mind cos friends is good but even so, its strange, i didnt check e4 but if you say they are not showing any coverage then i would say its more likely to be a security or health issue than davina, hopefully THEY ARE ok, i mean there are so many possibles about what it could be:conf:

The Big Brother house has been *evacuated* after a bomb scare.

More soon...

i don't think anything bads happened the media would be breaking news fast especially sky news. The picture kept breaking up this afternoon so this has probably something to do with it. :shocked:

:spin:

How would they know that it's OK to do the show at 10pm (or whenever) though??

I would suspect it's someone in the audience... police would have to turn up, etc, it's normal routine... it may not be ok, I haven't found out anything else yet, but the news agencies have also picked up on the very same thing.

M.

blimey, here's me being optimistic. :conf:

I hope that the housemates are ok
Like most of you I put it on at 8.30 and found friends

yeah it was confirmed on the bbc website, worrying times...

Ok... more news:

A package was found within Elstree that was deemed to be "suspect".

Again... more coming...

Are the eviction nomination lines still open?

Whatever is going on it must be pretty drastic.

Let hope its just a technical problem and nothing wrong with the housemates.

Source please
I am checking the media feeds and have not found anything yet :conf:

Same here come on dustmite share the sources, can we trust them. They've just said on c4 the 8,30 show is 10.00 and the 10.00 show at 11.30.

Digital Spy is saying they've had to evacuate the house after a bomb scare

Can't find anything on BBC, Teletext, ITV, Skynews or Ananova.... Is someone telling porkies???

Channel 4's site is (funnily enough) down....

Mine's from BBC news pundit, always useful having friends that work for them.

Should be on their website soon enough.

M.

BBC1 as a flas line with more soon . Ananova has nothing yet.

So that means the housemates will have seen the outside world then. :thumbs:

:spin:

you know a cynic would say this was the last attempt to boost ratings

The housemates most likely won't have, they have plans in place for this (there's always a people carrier on site to take them away in case of such occasions)

BREAKING NEWS: Incident in BB house?

Email this article | Print this article

Posted on Day 43 at 8.33pm by Neil Wilkes

Tonight's 8.30pm Channel 4 show has been put back until 10pm.

An announcement on the station blamed "technical difficulties" for the reschedule, which will see the eviction postponed until 11.15pm.

Additionally, live feeds from the house, both on the internet and E4, have been suspended since 8pm this evening. Both feeds are currently broadcasting the same ariel shot of the garden.

The shock "disappearance of Big Brother" from TV screens this evening has set tongues wagging that there may have been an incident inside the house.

Has one contestant been injured? Has Lisa had another asthma attack? Is this a publicity stunt? Has Big Brother simply forgot to pay the electricity bill? We'll keep you posted on events as they develop.

Wonder if the private jet's available as well, :thumbs: reminds me of President Bush on 9/11. :shocked: Glad it doesn't seem to bad though a bloody pain for everyone though and the nutters who do this sort of thing. :conf:

From Ananova:

Suspect package delays Big Brother show

The live Big Brother eviction show has been delayed after a suspect package was discovered on the Elstree complex where the house is located.

A Channel 4 spokesman said the incident was being dealt with and they hoped to continue with the show at 10pm

From news.bbc.co.uk

Evictions from the Big Brother household have been delayed after a suspect package was found at the Elstree complex where it is filmed.
A spokesman for Channel Four said the incident was being dealt with and they expected the programme to go out at the usual time of 10pm on Friday evening.

A spokesman for the channel said a suspect package was found at the George Lucas building and part of the Elstree Studio complex in Hertfordshire - where Big Brother is filmed - had to be evacuated.

yeah i also got a text message from bb saying that a suspect package had been found at the elstree complex where the house is

be interesting to see what happens at 10
