For continuing to list some of the Panto transmissions as live, when even I can guess that they are not, either in the traditional "old" meaning of the word. or the modern meaning, which is 10-15 minutes delayed, live! Does anyone share this opinion?

It's been a total flop so C4 couldn't care less about it.

It's a flimsy charge anyhow

They should be sued for failing to call it "The Jade Show" since that was clearly their intention.....

well nothing can really flop on e4 as all it requires is 0.5% audience share

as e4 do nothing about flops really, they may just say there going not to be a big brother panto next year. Also with cross promotion with channel 4 /e4 this panto had a good chance of getting 0.5% on e4.

I remember with BB4, S4C and Channel 4 showed "Big Brother Live" at the same time, yet they were both at a totally different point in time.

I went to the C4 panto forum and the little sprinkling of posts told me no ones interested.

I've not even really thought about watching it - the idea of seeing this mix of people doesn't interest me. At least the BB premise is niche - this is just tacky, IMO.

Well, as I pointed out at the time, the Christmas Eve 'live' show wasn't live because they'd all gone home for Christmas by then

We had seen them packing on the previous days highlights just a few minutes earlier on the 'highlights' show.

Not surprising when so many people they got were evicted to loud boos and no one there made it to the last 2 and Alex was the only one who made it to the last 3 (think thats right)

Villains are fine for Panto but you need some whitehats/heros too. Mel might have fit the bill but as about the only postive figure couldn't carry the show on her own even if the public saw her as good which they probably didn't.

It's not their so-called considered by some unpopularity.....it's the pandering to Goody...

Jade did get to the last 3, I'm sure. I think she is the only one though. A few of them lasted the least amount of time possible for them - ie. Kitten, Tim and Anouska. I don't know what possessed them to put a BB panto on though - who did they think would be watching??

I thought she was 4th

.. she only got there with the help (*favourable editing*) courtesy of a very scared Endemol

... who threw Adele out to the lions instead of her

And the Endemol love of Jade Goody and family continues to this day .... (BTR, The Farm, etc. for example) ... and now this panto in which she will star as Cinders

Ah yes, my mistake. It must be the memory of that awful pink dress that she came out wearing that has clouded my judgement...!

If the f-word mistakenly (aye, right! I wasn't born yesterday you know!) broadcast on this morning's T4 programme is now, as Channel 4 are seeming to indicate it is, the rule rather than the exception, why in heaven's name are they continuing to show this?

That was totally out of order IMO. At 11am, you'd probably have your kids watching. It's a bit useless putting out a verbal apology after.

Sorry, call me a prude, but the watershed should be stuck to. The 'f' word has no place in morning schedules.
