So late last night's C4 live show was live was it?
I'm sure I'm not the only onw who watched it and after abotu 10-15 minutes thought, 'I've seen this already haven't I'?

If it's not live, and is delayed, why doesn't is say on screen that there's a delay? Even on the 'live' eviction shows a short delay would be acceptable - we understand the reasons why!

Please C4 - if it's not live, don't say it is!

It looked like the poor side were trying to rip the wall off or something, then it suddenly cut back to 15 mins previous

I think they use the term "live" in a strict broadcasting sense, as opposed to being edited, post production stuff etc.
However I must agree that C4 are pushing the boundaries of what constitutes "live", to say the least.

The term 'live tv' is allowed for TV streaming with a Maximum of 15 mins delay. This delay is to allow for legal editing. Hope this clear this up once and for all.

Does it really matter when most of the HMs are brain dead anyway? Discuss.
