Channel 4 was dragging Big Brother down, PC Bastards.
BB is better off without it.

Wasnt just Channel 4, mainstream media, commentators even fans complained of the formula being the same, give people drink and watch the fights.
Ofcom got on the case and advised CH4 to tone down the alcohol induced fun and games, hence the limiting of booze and ensure there was no bullying etc.
Local residents complained about the noise from late night garden antics, hence the fact parties were limited in length and location.
Its okay saying give them booze and sod the complaints, thats not exactly clever, they had warnings. Fines and other punishments would have followed. After that you are looking at them not being allowed to transmit BB. In the long term it could also affect their ability to renew transmission licences.
