Starts speaking about BB around the 6 and a half minute mark. And he slates BB16

Quite shocked how honest he was throughout this! He says that Helen was a "bad person" too.

Well he's in a position to force some changes.

I wish he had done it sooner .

This is interesting stuff.

Calling Hellen Wood a bad person looks like a hollow sentiment since all she represents is the worst aspects of BB and since those aspects are still in situ who does he think he's kidding.

Be good to hear this from his own mouth though.

The problem of bb doesn't lie with frow, it lies with O'connor.

Helen Wood - such a bad person they let her ruin two series running and possibly spell the end for civilian BB?


Soz for being behind - who's O'Connor?

Imo the problem with BB is that it's allowed to indulge it's perverse fascination with conflict.

As controller of the channel Frow can over-rule the creative director (of endemol?) surely. He may not wish to crack the whip to often but if he see's a problem he really ought to.

Thanks Salv

I think Mary Nightingale is so good, it's a pity she's not on more, it must be a nightmare interviewing someone who just wants to talk about themselves (not that it wasn't interesting)...dressed from the waist upwards like an evil Bond villian...with a kilt

The secret love child of Ben Kingsley and Louie Spence

I think he's quite funny...but I'm not sure how sincere he is though, he says he hates Helen Wood but has her on (and kept her on) BB not once but twice, in two consecutive series

They hired a freaking Nazi for this series of CBB

He thinks "Psycho Pussies" and CBB are the two of the most sucessful "UP MARKET" programmes on C5

"UP MARKET!?"

But thinks people trash the channel because they don't watch it

A psych eval and full tox screen for Mister Ben Frow...STAT!

I do like "Ben Fogle’s New Lives in the Wild"...and also "The Elaine Paige Show" but that's on Sky Arts...

I'll have to watch this later when I'm more focused....and also DS is severely limiting the amount of smilies I can use

Do you remember the BB official site viewer survey after Helen won? There was one question that still sticks in my mind. "Did you enjoy the bullying?" with a silly one to five scale of possible answers.

Conflict is something they do seem to find very rewarding these days, whether it's C5 or Endemol.
