Arrow I actually forgot BB panto was a proper series...

Not really :

Big Brother Panto aired from 20 December 2004 to 5 January 2005 and was presented by Jeff Brazier (Goody's boyfriend).

Even before the panto started, there was a revolt over fees - Goody was getting £30k while the rest were getting £5k.

The housemates went home twice, firstly from 23 December to 27 December and secondly from 30 December to 3 January to spend Christmas and New Year at home (so they only "resided" for less than half the time, i.e. 7 out of 16 days)).

Unlike all other Big Brother series, there were no evictions and no winner.

The only public vote was for who played Cinderella - surprise, surprise, Goody won that, despite the obvious candidate being the lovely Anouska.

Everybody (except "Kitten", of course) put in a bit of effort but Goody had to have "extra coaching" because she couldn't be "bovvered".

It was, inevitably, a disaster, but, as usual, Goody got the publicity and the money - she had, of course, previously attemped to win a celebrity series, as a shoe-in for "Back To Reality" (again with with boyfriend Brazier) but the presence of the charismatic (and frequently drunk) James Hewitt put an end to that ambition, despite Goody pulling the "burst ovary" trick!
