Ofcom rules it must be broadcast with (at least) 15 min delay after swearing in the BB7 final

[Lauren]

Wow, I knew there was a delay but didn't think it was that long.

Makes sense though, the local residents do need peace.

[Xander]

Every year isn't broadcasted live, its pre-recorded by 30-45 minutes.

well we know for a fact they went in on thursday because big brother direct was at the launch

[PleasurePrinciple]

Yeah! I was confused cause the sky here was dark and it was still light when the show ended last night.

[Spike]

I was surprised how long the delay was, it was never said it was live though

[mimis122]

I've been to the evictions before, it always feels live, cos by the time you're home it's all done! (Live a couple of miles away)

[Splintered]

At least its still close and the same night
If it was a compeletely different day, I'd be mad

[MR.K!]

well to be honest, the didnt SAY it was live, usually ist 'big brother live launch' this year 'big brother launch show' also live didnt appear in the corner

[Razmataz]

Big Brother can't afford anymore 'cokups' and it's an awful shame, because most of the BB Audience light the 'spontaniousness' [thats a word i've made up] of what can happen at any given moment, in the house.

Losing the 'live' touch did probably dent my thoughts on the launch night.

I thought it was called the "Big Brother Live Launch?"

[Xander]

It was, the timing was only delayed.
It was live because if Davina mucked or anything like that then she wouldn't be able to do it again.

[ChelseaFan]

Blaze posted it didn't he?

[Chrizzle]

Yeah its like this every year LOL

[Harry!]

Ok so unfair to find out its not live.

[liamyoungofficial]

Yes, this is correct - they had around a 25 minute delay for BBCH.

[I_got_a_jar_jars]

The evictions have not been live for years

Its simply not live these days =(

[philmyer92]

It was live, strictly speaking because it was filmed infront of an audience. Even if it was filmed 50 years ago as long as it was infront of an audience it would be live. You could argue that any show is live to be honest.
