Big Brother is to have more television coverage this year than ever before.

Channel 4 chiefs say six separate shows will keep viewers up to date with events in the house, reports the Daily Star.

A new Big Brother live debate will air three times a week throughout the 10-week series.

The E-Fourum Question-Time-type show will be broadcast on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Former contestants, celebrities and fans will discuss the latest issues on the programme.

There will also be a daily breakfast show, a weekly programme featuring uncut footage of the eviction nominations, and a live Saturday show covering the tasks contestants will face.

Dermot O'Leary's Big Brother, Little Brother will return with behind-the-scenes reports.

Channel 4 will also be showing the highlights every evening and Davina McCall presents the weekly live Friday night eviction episode.

As last year, E4 will be broadcasting continuous live footage from the house.

Sounds fine!! Just hope they have a set of housemates this year that is worthy of the exra coverage.

[BigSister]

[craig619]

the makers are really confident that this year is gonna be a success so they must have some surprises planned.

[bananarama]

They were confident last year also!! Surprises were pulled out of the bag last year too. But it still failed

It's ok i am just idulging in a good ole piece of pessimism.

Been reading about the debate show in Heat this week. It says the host (yet to be revealed) and panel of experts, pundits, celebrities and former BB housemates take questions from a studio audience of devoted BB fans.

If you want to be there e-mail to E4show@bigbrother.endemoluk.com

ANYONE TEMPTED.

panel of experts

What do they mean by "experts". The only real experts in my book would be former housemates.

I do hope our Helen makes an appearance or two or more or if there is any justice in this world she should host it.

Ahhh. Dreaming again. Get back to reality bananarama.

[Amy]

Real fans of the show would also be good on the debate show, look at the debates many forums have!!

I wonder if you'd get to meet Dermot by being on this show

Typical

Amy I am sure if Dermott thought you would be attending he would drop everything and make sure he was there for you.

How about a joint TIBB application - but then could they really cope with a posee of us
