Title: Channel 4 will do anything to boost the viewing figures
Post by: Grumpmeister on July 07, 2008, 04:05:20 PM: Heard this mentioned on the news on Sunday, didnt pay that much attention initially and thought Darwin had been at work again.

The Big Brother house was evacuated on Sunday morning after a security threat, Channel 4 has confirmed.

A man contacted the show's base at Elstree Studios, Hertfordshire, claiming a bomb was nearby.

Programme makers cut the live feed and the 15 contestants were woken at 0240 BST and moved to a safe location.

A spokesman said: "After the necessary checks were made, housemates returned to the house without incident and streaming was resumed."

Hertfordshire police said its officers searched the area and found the call was a hoax.

Once back inside, housemates were given a task to fight their way out of paper bags with boxing gloves, which they went on to fail.

Three new contestants joined the reality show on Friday night after part-time model Jennifer Clark became the latest evictee.

Sara, a 27-year-old from London who is described as a "sexy executive PA", was joined by theatre director Belinda and Maysoon, a 28-year-old model from Hertfordshire

Mind you in the realm of Captain Calamity normal probably has a completely different meaning than it does to the rest of us. point:
