Hi everybody...
I’m assuming that most of you are not familiar with recent developments on the home site of C4’s “The TV Show” http://blogs.channel4.com/thetvshow/, so I thought an update was in order...
Every month, the TV Show publishes a “Rated/Slated” list of the most praised and complained-about shows on C4, and has just posted the latest lists for June. Surprisingly, Big Brother did not feature in either list. I missed the original web posting, but there were a number of complaints about BB’s omission. C4 have still not amended the list, but they did add a comment, stating:
"Big Brother generated 1,837 complaints and 48 appreciative comments in June."
This means that BB received 2/3rds of C4’s total complaints during June, and more than 11 times the number of complaints received by the “officially” most-complained-about C4 show, “Wife Swap”!
There have been a number of comments posted to the C4 website complaining about this. The most recent was posted at 5.11 pm yesterday. That post is still the most recently-posted comment to the whole site after over 27 hours! Now I don’t know about you, but I find that unlikely – I’ve personally submitted 2 comments during that time!
The latest news is that I have submitted a complaint to C4 over the lack of site updates. My complaint has been acknowledged, and I will keep you updated re any further developments…
