Big brother TV show will stop short of 'open
house' TV producers will use an override switch to vet a pioneering series aimed at showing every action of 10 strangers living together in a purpose-built house. Big Brother will be transmitted 24 hours a day on the internet and five nights a week on Channel 4 when it comes on air next month. The fly-on-the-wall experiment - which has already taken Germany, Holland and Spain by storm - will allow viewers constant visual access to every room in the house by hidden cameras and two-way mirrors. But programme makers said the "live" internet footage would be subject to a brief delay to enable pre-watershed sex, violence and swearing to be edited out. Commissioning editor Liz Warner, whose earlier TV experiments have included Channel 4's The Living Soap, which observed the lives of students sharing a house at university, said: "There's a delay on the web feed, so there's an override. "We will observe the family viewing policy before the watershed, and make sure we stick to ITC guidelines all the time." She added that post-watershed behaviour would also be monitored around the clock by a "compliance team" to ensure no extreme acts were shown. Those taking part would not be asked to refrain from sex or swearing, but anyone who threw physical blows would be asked to leave the house. While the nine-week series will start out with 10 people thrown together in the house, each Friday one of them will be evicted. The identity of the victim will be chosen by viewers and web-watchers from two people nominated by the rest of the occupants each Wednesday. At the end of the run, the last person remaining will be awarded a cash prize of £70,000.
