Happy New Year!
Channel 4 gets off to a flying start with it's innovative schedule . . . another series of Big Brother.
They start the year with the Celebrity BB and Dead Set phone-in competition. One is live, the other a repeat - can you tell which is which?
I must admit I was totally baffled by Dead Set: everything goes wrong and then everyone dies - what exactly was the point?
I can only conclude that when the BBC announced that Survivors was on the cards C4 bosses panicked and commissioned an instant rival program. Concept and script optional, the only requirement was that it be slapped together and put on air first.
They succeeded, if producing an ill-conceived rush-job constitutes success.
