And like I just said...

... you don't really know how it works, do you.

Channel 5 would commission a show from a production company. They have input. They have to air it on their channel, so it would have to be suitable. They don't leave all the decisions to the production company.

Channel 5 is responsible for Big Brother. It is responsible for commissioning it from Endemol. If someone sues over Big Brother, who do you think they sue? If someone complains to Ofcom, who do they complain about? Channel 5 or Endemol? Think about it for a minute before you reply.

If someone sues that would be in Endemols hands. It's in Channel 5's hands for complains etc

Depends what the lawsuit is for. Both Endemol and Channel 5 could be sued for example in the event of a defamation of character lawsuit. As Channel 5 is the program airer, they have the greater responsibility of what is aired as being suitable for public broadcast. Endemol as the producer are responsible for health and safety of contestants etc.
