Yes, I agree that the housemates should be given a clock. It's bad enough being cut off from the outside world, without not knowing what the time is as well.
It would also be beneficial for us watching, because if the housemates know what time it is they'll go to bed at a sensible time and we can get to our beds too!
Wilchild, I'm sure there ARE going to be chickens again this year. Blinkinlovely posted up a description of the inside of the house from Web User Magazine and it said .............. 'and a chicken coup that Channel 4 tells us looks like a chicken but looks more like a sinking, wooden Titanic.'
Hopefully they'll have better luck with the chickens this year - poor Princess Leia.
