I do resent paying for the live feed & having the sound drowned out by helicopters & birds?

me too. It's pissing me off big time.

what're the rules on internet/www broadcasting? Why can't they not dub out the web feed? ..

I don't even understand the E4 broadcasting rules - it's stupid at 1am if they're blocking out swear words - so i guess it isnt - what is it?

The sound is on E4 but not on the web.

E4 keeps on drowning out the sound (like RIGHT now 01:24) - they're not replacing it with aircraft and birds though like they do in the daytime, nor cutting to the chickens thing just so we can't see what's going on.

ARRGH

It's a conspiracy! :[

The message on E4 this time is not that it is to ensure that it is suitable for daytime viewing, but that it "adheres to broadcasting regulations"

There are a lot more gaps in the audio in BB3 than the other two. Mostly, I think, because they are talking about people outside the house – mates, bosses, family, etc. Also BB1 and BB2 contestants come up in conversation a lot. There's supposed to be a ban on discussing them so why don't they enforce it? The frequent audio drop-outs are really irritating.

Maybe it's so that we don't complain that the houseguests are flaunting the rules. Ch.4 might find they'd have to replace most of them!
It's very frustrating & I cannot see what broadcasting rules are being broken on the web. We should complain to the commision that deals with false advertising - re. Ch 4 selling 24 hours internet viewing!

Obviously they want to sell more 'uncut' DVD's, you know so that people will buy the BB3 DVD's! which have all that sound unciut!.

They should advertise their 9.99 offer on the web as BB3 censored!! and E3 BB3 coverage as censored and channel 4 edited by someone who has'nt watched the show at least 10 hours a day lol

Nice one JR

It's completely ridiculous if they think we're gonna believe people haven't changed the subject - i mean, they cut to Spencer/Jonny in the garden and it's still silent. I very much doubt they're all discussing something that's against the rules.

ARGH.

*must search channel4 site for complaints email*

Spencer was called into the Diary room & then went outside & started kicking something about.

Ive been on about 45 mins and it's been off for about that time Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Don't even have birdy music or planes now!

I might write in and ask them what species of bird it is. Maybe the producer is a budding wildlife programme producer?.

Mines back now Heard jonny saying 'been to talk to him, doesn't think he will leave now..that's good isn't it?'
or did i hear wrong?!

Is he talking about Spencer?

No because that's who was saying that too. (spencer & PJ) I could of heard it wrong because the sound just cut in half way. I just heard the last of it. They havent spoke about whatever it was yet..could of been nothing.

Cheers Northernslayer. The sounds back but nothing much being said.

yep the sound came back here too, and I heard something along the lines of 'he isnt leaving now, thats good isnt it? - to spence/pj.

Good coverage Ch4 lol

i wish they would cut the sound out when kate and alison are doing their davina impressions, and when they sing their loving nobody but you song, no wonder the c4 programmes are so short, they keep doin the same stuff over and over, or talking about stuff that can't be broadcast.

I prefferred the last BB1 / BB2 conversations, I know its early but a lot of the conversations are quite shallow in BB3.

Too true. I haven't really heard one stimulating conversation yet. But that what you get when you pack the house with people in their early 20s with limited experience of life or the world. They thought this type would provide more entertainment than the Dean/Elizabeth types who people complained about because they weren't "fun" enough.

I don't think it worked, if you remember the talk they had to do about a subject in BB2 each of them went into great detail and came out with a lot of respect, Penny's and Bubbles especially. The talk subject tonight was rather shallow and pretty boring imho.

Nooooooooo, I love it when Kate does that. It cracks me up, and I've even found myself doing it.........

I don't think it's got anything to do with their ages, it's more about maturity. There are plenty of 20 somethings around, who are perfectly capable of holding a decent adult conversation. It's just a shame that none of this lot can manage it. They all seem to be stuck at around 15 years old.

Sarah (aged 25 and nothing like the BB slobs)

I must admit that I liked Alison when she first appeared in the house, but if I see her doing any more "I'm a mad Ibiza Rep" impressions I think I'll go mad too. Perhaps it's all the sugar from the goodies, but the woman is manic and she and Kate are like a couple of early teens who have escaped parental supervision for the afternoon!
