The Guardian discusses the first night's ratings ...

''Teen Big Brother provided a ratings fillip last night for Channel 4 on a night when its prime time share dropped to as low as 5%.
When the first episode of the series came on, share jumped from 10 to 15% but the ratings will still have been a disappointment to anyone expecting the controversy over sex between two of the teenagers to be a big draw....''

An interesting article, by Sarah Dempster appears in the Scotsman ...

''Big Brother thrives on the sturm und drang of the small-time publicity seeker, fanning its contestants fiery egos with attention, spoon-feeding them lo-cal promises of fame while silently willing them to break down/ fall over/ ********** under a duvet, preferably all at the same time. Though Teen Big Brother: The Experiment is, essentially, a Mini Pops version of its elder sibling, its eight, 18-year-old interns differ little from previous Big Brother contestants, with each displaying the swaggering self-assurance of the wannabe; a trait that rapidly expands into widescreen arrogance when encouraged by television cameras. All "this is who I am" this and "that’s just the way it is" that, they’re the children of the reality TV revolution; sons of I’m a Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here!, daughters of Darius.....''

Think it was the early 80's Eejay.....there was an album made with lil kiddies impersonating the pop stars of that time. The advert for it was on TV all the time...they were so cute:D
I always wanted to buy it but was too embarressed! Infact quite embarressed that I've admitted it now :oops:


Here they are....awwww!

From the MediaGuardian site ...

''Last night's edition of Teen Big Brother featured brief clips of contestants Tommy Wright and Jade Dyer having sex under a duvet in the communal bedroom, while the other housemates were asleep around them.

Teen Big Brother was watched by 1.9 million viewers and attracted an 11% audience share between 10pm and 11.05pm, according to unofficial overnights.

This was the smallest audience for Teen Big Brother, 900,000 below Tuesday's figure and also well down on Monday night, when 2.5 million viewers tuned in. Moreover, a 1.9 million audience will be one of the lowest ever for any Big Brother series or spin-off since the show launched on Channel 4....''

Taken from here.
