For art's sake I deplore censorship. But C4 is a public broadcasting service with a duty of care to its audience. In context, I say anything goes, but Big Brother is not the kind of programme that I would call art. True, it has thread new ground and broken taboos, and if there are any more taboos it can find to thread on then it should. But watching people pissed up all the time isn't one of them.

No. You wrote something that made my eyes want to close. Your post was so boring that people probably died reading it.

BB don't withhold alchohol from the housemates in the interests of the show. It's because they have a draconian regulator breathing down their necks. Other than that, I think most could agree the show would be much more fun with some booze... and don't tell me you didn't enjoy Fight Night.

It was all good. BB5 was great. But it's been done. It's done and dusted. Past. As the series go by each one looks more and more like a pale imitation of a previous one.
