Default Ofcom receives dozens of complaints about BB [even about the bloody trailer]...!!!

So far, 35 complaints have been sent to Ofcom regarding this year's Big Brother.

It was one of the most complained about programmes on TV.

Someone even complained about the trailer saying it contained sex and nudity - how exactly?!

The good thing is that Ofcom has cleared all these complaints, and BB was not in breach at all of the broadcasting code.

One does wonder why Channel 4 are playing it so safe, when every complaint is not being upheld anyways.

More details on page 81 on here: http://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv/obb/prog_...6/Issue136.pdf

Yeah, you're right- it's very little compared to previous years like Shilpa-gate.

But it was still the 2nd most complained about programme on TV, only behind Britain's Got Talent!

Even if their WAS something to complain about in Big Brother, which their is not, their is no excuse for the utter sad twats who do complain. Just change the channel and get on with your lives, you morons.

It's funny you two should say that, because most of the complaints Ofcom get about BB come from Mediawatch:- which is what the National Viewers And Listeners Association is now called. They often haven't watched the programme.
