I thought Big Brother lost its “social experiment” relevance a long time ago, that was until I was told about this by a friend. Interesting to see the contestants’ reaction to finding out the news about Michael Jackson’s death…one of serious shock and sadness.

If only some of the media could replicate some of this, ITV’s reshowing of Martin Bashir’s “Living with Michael Jackson” was a hugely cynical approach to try and increase audience share. I hope, like me, you avoided watching it.
