''Teen Big Brother provided a ratings fillip last night for Channel 4 on a night when its prime time share dropped to as low as 5%.

Still not bad for something that was originally planned for the educational slot.

I'm glad to see it - it shows there is still a future for BB after this year's fiasco.

yeah i think its shaping up better than a CBB3 would have been

is TBB going to be an ongoing thing replacing CBB?

I have a couple of reservations bit basically I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Last night I was so engaged by it, despite not feeling particularly well, that I managed to forget that it had all been pre-recorded.

I think it's a great show.......BB contestants before the inhibitions and career motivation hits in.....It's like it's gone back to the original idea......Some truly obscene characters in there as well....great viewing.
