ha ha, who are the people on this show?  I'm not as well up on BB as I used to be but still...

I only recognised Emma and a few of the old lags behind her.

Not going until late Sept Kaffs, but we want a few days in Istanbul this time, so wanted to get schedule flights booked well in advance, (when they're cheaper,) and also hotel of choice 

Ah, right. Emma said they were from "the valleys", but I just assumed she was referring to them being Welsh- I'd never heard of the show.

BTW: like "Geordie Shore", "The Valleys" is an MTV show. MTV is owned by Viacom, who now also own C5...

sounds good!

I wonder if Ivor The Engine makes an appearance ?....

I wish someone would do something with Judi James' hair

Yeah, I hadn't heard of it either - I googled Welsh Girls and Geordie Shore (because they seemed the type!)  

Is Istanbul just a stop over, Supes? Where you off too?

I thought it was still owned by that porny guy who owns the Daily Express (is that still going?), the Daily Star and Health lottery.

I have a friend with hair just like hers. Our hairdresser keeps begging me to talk her into letting them cut it and style it, but she wont have any of it. It's a mess.

Interesting that Judy James has effectively pre-empted any final talk of Helen "going on a journey" there: she's just made it clear that Helen hasn't changed at all...

Neither does digi-guide....it just says ....with special guests.

 I LOVE HER

My twin sis lives on the Turkish coast Bethni, so I'm a v regular visitor We'll have 12 days with maybe a 3/4 day gulet cruise with her and some friends, then 3 days in Istanbul before we fly home, hence having to be a bit more organised and book internal flight to Istanbul and flight home  

Yeah, I have to admit that I'm a bit sketchy on the legal details here.

Northern & Shell (Dirty Desmond's company who also own the Daily Star, OK, etc) agreed to sell C5 to Viacom in May this year (IIRC, Desmond wanted £700 million, but only got £450 million). The deal still has to get regulatory approval though, so yes: technically Desmond still owns C5.

We have started to see a lot Viacom shows promoted on BB, though...

Stick pics of Judi's rat tails on all of her mirrors and she might change her mind

I probably watch more C5 since Desmond took over than I did before.  There's a lot of adverts for the tawdry Star and the Health Lottery adds are on all the time.  I guess Desmond must have a tie in with Eddie bloody Stobart too.  Can't believe they're allowed to have a program named after a private concern.

I watched "The Wright Stuff" with Matthew Wright moaning about the BBC advertising Dr Who during the World Cup.  I think he needs to look a bit closer to home!

Oh Lovely, Supes. And September is a great month to go. We used to stop over in Istanbul on our way to Singapore, i loved the city and the smells. It's such a colourful spicy place

Oh dear God: Lauren Harries is on BOTS tomorrow .

I'm guessing that Kimbot will therefore not be in the studio too, and her interview will have been pre-recorded...

And Steven's mum will no doubt be on the phone again.... if she's not holding the keys to Kimberly's room 

Hmmmm 

Night all 

 You expect BB to twiddle with the rules, but its farcical now.

It's way beyond a joke Rosie .....I mean it's always been open to manipulation since they stopped LF ...but C5 have taken it to a whole new level Total farce , and basically unwatchable after last night ! 

I think you'll find its called

"How green is my valley look you - that's tidy"
