I have CBB on series link on my Sky box. I just started watching it -- the episode was titled "CBB -- The Fallout Live". I watched for about 30 seconds then thought, "WTF?"

I had no idea -- and nor did Sky, apparently -- that the regular show was at 8pm tonight. It's too late to watch it on C5+1.

So I've missed everything and will have to try to catch up tomorrow -- unless there's some other way to see tonight's main show?

Same here Professor Matt. Just got in from London, started the programme and couldn't understand wtf was going on. Thinking I had somehow missed last night's programme, and totally confused!

Your post has made sense of it all.

I know! I was just casually flicking through the channels just before 8pm. I'd completely forgotten it was on earlier tonight. I feel your pain, OP

It was channel 5's fault, the called the show at 20:00 Bit on the Side, and the show at 21:00 Big Brother, so unless you had a series link on CBBOTS you missed the first half.

Same problem for me too, but they put it on catchup online pretty fast.

I recorded it on two devices (don't ask!) Sky failed completely and my ancient old Freeview recorder recorded as it should.

So much for progress.

Honestly, you didn't miss much. Worst show of the series so far.

Does anyone have a link for this please?

It's under BOTS, but the link isn't working for me (unlike all the other shows) - nothing comes up

Series links are controlled by the CHANNEL, not by Sky, you are just using their box as a medium to watch a free channel.

If the broadcaster (in this case, Channel 5), tell the box the next episode is at 9pm the next day, that is what the box will record, simple as that.

I don't understand why either. As already said up thread, it's the channel and not the boxes. So how some recorded and some didn't is a mystery.

It's being repeated on MTV now. If you've missed the start it'll be on MTV+1 at 3.00....
