Big Brother Brawl.

Police have launched an investigation into last night's drunken brawl in the Big Brother house.

Officers from Hertfordshire Constabulary were called to the house in the early hours after receiving calls from horrified viewers.

They left after speaking to members of the production team but have requested a tape of last night's events, including the fight between Emma and Victor.

After viewing the tapes they will decide if any charges should be brought against the housemates.

Big Brother bosses were forced to pull the live feed of the show in the early hours of this morning after the violent row broke out.

When the feeds returned viewers saw an emotional Shell asking Vanessa: "What kind of animals are we that we've had to have security guards come in?"

The terrifying bust-up erupted following the return of Emma and Michelle, who had been secretly watching the other housemates since last Friday.

The pair sneaked back into the house during a fancy-dress party and hid under a table laden with food.
I can't beleive Big Brother didn't phone the police, the viewers had too. :shock: all in a effot to bump up ratings. oh dear. :roll:

Don't be stupid. The police weren't called because they weren't needed. You'll always get those few viewers jamming the switchboards because they are worried. Considering the coverage was cut at the time, it makes you wonder...

If you reckon that's a riot, Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister when there was a Poll Tax Tea Party.

It was some gorgeous stock footage of the Big Brother house during the daytime, including such scenes as Hose Pipe; Oven Gloves; Sky; Statue; Grass; and many, many more...

I don't think there were many more, the only other ones I think you missed were kitchen taps and the camera with the wiper on it.

Basically like this:

...but they did have text-ins some of the time along the lines of "What do you think has happened?" and "Has Victor gone to far?".[/img]
