Sorry about having this thought, but I have to ask this question.

On several occasions during the series, particularly during the "set pieces" when everyone just happens to be sat in a circle in the living room holding a discussion that ends up fully covered on the next days show, I've noticed some suppressed self conscious giggles and smirks. These looks and actions didn't seem to fit the mood of the conversation suggesting to me the possibility that they were role playing or following a script.

Is this all in my imagination? Probably, at least I hope so, but one incident made me think again.

We've all just seen Nick trying to spend the night cuddling a hot water bottle instead of Harry. I ask you this.

1. Would anyone going into BB, particularly in June/July take a hot water bottle into the house with them?

2. If Nick had gone to the diary room and asked for a hot water bottle would BB have had one just lying around, and would they have given it to Nick even if they had one?

I'm thinking the hot water bottle scene was scripted.
