Wonder why Channel 4 didn't snap up the rights to get this, and Sky One did??

I dont think the ratings would be major because after Big Brother, the contestants arent really bothered about unless they were huge stars of the show like Brian or Jade etc. Sky 1 would probably be more suitable.

Thanks, James.

I don't know why, but I just can't work up any great enthusiam about watching this programme.

Now, if it had been a certain other BB couple, then wild horses wouldn't have stopped me!!!

Sorry, but Lee and Sophie just leave me totally disinterested. I probably will watch it, but it just smacks to me of yet another way that they're promoting their relationship to earn cash.

I guess it's because Sky One is thought of as a more 'tabloid' channel than C4.

They did show the Jade docu though, but that was more a serious kind of sideways look at the after effects of BB. The Sophie and Lee prog will be more like the television version of Hello!, I think.

You never know, they might have been invited to the wedding! I know that Bubble was there of the BB2 crowd.

On second thought though, the bride and groom might not have wanted them there because they might divert some of the attention.

According to Heat this week this programme is on Sky One on Wednesday 27 at 9.00pm as well.

Has anyone else wondered why its title is Big Brother's Little Wedding.

Could it be that for most people the marriage of Lee and Sophie was not high on their list of must happenings.

Now if it was a certain other couple I think there definitely might be a change in the title. We wait in hope.

Hmm, it's a play on words of Big Brother's Little Brother.

Yes?

For some reason I am quite interested in seeing this programme.

Hmmmmm watch Lee and Sophie.............no i'd definately rather poke myself in the eye with a very big pointy stick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BusyBee]

Wonder if they got enough money to cover for the loss of the magazine earnings.

[James]

It's on tonight again on Sky One at 6:00 pm.

I might actually watch it this time.

[Sticks]

Last time it was on I taped it for my newsagent, only to discover that the VCR had developed a fault.

I have re-taped it for my newsagent.

This is what I said last August. Finally watched the programme last night, and I stand by that remark.

Maybe they are happy and in love, but the main concerns they seemed to have were how many 'famous' guests would be coming to the wedding (to keep the magazine happy), and taking desperate measures to avoid 'ordinary' people taking photographs so that they would get their exclusive deal with OK. They even dashed from the wedding cars into the church, shielded by umbrellas!!! Sophie also said that there was no way they could afford this lavish-style wedding without the magazine cash.

Sorry, but it just left me feeling rather sad.

Didn't watch it, sounds like I didn't miss much either.

Actually spent the evening watching BBC3's Soul Weekend. Stunning .....Aretha, Isaac Hayes, Bill Withers, Sam from Sam and Dave, Wilson Pickett etc......much preferable.

The Lee and Sophie wedding sounds so angst ridden and desperate. Much as I would love to see a P&H spread WHEN that happy day finally arrives, I think they are absolutely right to say they want the day to be for them.
