Family Fortunes was hilarious on Saturday night and got great ratings with average overnight viewing figures of 6.8 million.
I am not surprised that filming had to be halted because of the laughter. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/a7873...-fortunes.html I am still randomly giggling at some of the answers.

I know what you mean, the whole of that last section of the show was hilarious.
I loved the botox and brazilian wax comments too. I also loved it when Brian said "sing a song" as the answer to the last question "something you do when you're bored" and Vernon said "who does that?" and Brian said "I do" awwwww. Remember him singing in BB2.

Would they add sound dips over all the singing and guitar playing? There are so many songs that remind me of BB2. The same with the conversations they had about their personal lives, most of them would never go out now. Thank goodness I have so much on tape, - as no doubt many other BB2 fans have, - as I doubt we would see some of the best bits ever again on TV. |

Still get them out from time to time, the nostalgia is lovely to bathe in when depressed .BTW did you know that TV Quick have an interview with Brian this week? A short one about his tastes in TV. |

Fans of Brian might like to know that there is a long interview with him in The Mail's Weekend Magazine today in which he talks about his life and his TV work.

Thanks Sharon it is a lovely article, great piccy too. This is Brian's third feature in a week. On Sunday there was a very interesting two page spread in the Irish Sunday World and a smaller feature in NEW magazine too this week.
![]() Watched Brian's 'Backstage at the Big Top' last night, another great show and well done to Brian for attempting the disciplines each week- maybe it is the temptation of all the zhuzhy Lycra outfits they make for him. ![]() However the reason for mentioning last night is that at the end of the show they said this week there are 2 new celebrity contestants, - I wonder if Shane has had to retire - and gave teaser glimpses of parts of their faces. I am sure one is Liam from BB8. I could be mistaken but it certainly had a look of him. |

Yes I saw the CDC show last night too, pretty impressed that Brian is prepared to have a go at anything! The outfits are very glamorous but I still preferred him in the waistcoat and shirt! |

Another good CDC Backstage at the Big Top show tonight. Plenty of Lycra for Brian, - he loved being dressed as superman while having a go at "the straps" one of the two featured disciplines this week. He does really well with his attempts each week. I wonder if he will try the final week discipline?
Brian then chatted to Liam & Rebecca, and had a quick word with Amanda, Sam, Ziggy. Helen from Skybets was on the show and said Liam was 3rd in the betting with Rebecca in last place, which more or less pointed to Liam taking the place on Sunday evening. |

I can't imagine him on the Wheel of Death .I love Helen from Skybets she really joins in the fun with him. Did you ever see her with him on SkyActive? I also enjoyed seeing him interview the BB8 crowd. He definitely liked talking to Ziggy! |

Yes I really enjoyed the show last night. Lol at Brian doing the straps and at his demonstration of how to be 'bendy' with the Judge, Louis.

Brian and Ziggy have crossed paths a couple of times since BB8, first when Ziggy went to HK and then when Brian was a guest on Rté's The Café. Weren't Brian and Ziggy invited to appear on Keith Barry's Christmas Magic show on ITV1 on the 29th Dec? Keith has a Myspace site so it may be worth keeping an eye on that. |

Brian just appeared on the forum or celeb panel of the Xtra Factor Results Show on ITV2 giving his opinion of the remaining contestants.
Any fans wishing to catch a repeat there is of course the ITV2 + 1 where it starts at 22.30 pm. Then again on ITV2 Sunday 25 November at 01.45 am and ITV2 Monday 26 November at 02.00 am. Brian is on in the last 15 minutes of the show which lasts for 45 minutes.

Thanks Sharon, managed to catch Brian on the show, a lovely surprise.
I agree with Brian that Rhydian does look scary, and also with that he will probably win the series, although I do have a soft spot for Future Proof. |
