Hi bailey, your right I think your a saddo, but each to their own.LOL
As most of the bars have tellys you might be able to get it, depending on if they have sky tv.

Hi Bailey,
Can't believe that someone can come to Corfu and want to watch Big Brother!!
I wouldn't even watch it in UK!!
However I'm sure you will find a bar that will accomodate

Big Brother, are we serious . You might get to see it, but I would imagine the TVs in bars will be taken up with Euro 2004, Films, Grand Prix, and anything else people go on holiday for. Another .
I know, dont get on to me, you pays your money, you do want you want. Just a bit of fun.
Best Wishes.

We was in Corfu one year when Big Brother was on. I can't remember seeing it advertised in any bars though. Like Sailor said most bars will be busy with the sports.

Hi Bailey
You will probably find that if they have Sky you will be able to see Big Brother. You have to speak very nicely to the staff behind the bar and they might let you watch it. It all depends on whether it is going to clash with a match I'm afraid. I dont personally watch it now as its getting stupid.

You could always set your video recorder to tape it, then when you're back from your hols you can watch it over & over again. But why ruin a perfectly good tape!!!!

Just returned from two weeks in Cavos and Big Brother could be found in a number of bars along with Eastenders, Cornation Street and al the most up to date films such as Troy, Shrek2 etc. These films can also be purchased from the same bars for 10 euros.

Hear hear. I don't think people should be giving their opinions on what others like to watch on TV. My husband can watch cricket or rugby for ever, which I cannot understand. I like the reality programmes as I am a "people watcher". We have enough TV's in the house for everyone to watch what they like.
One year the bar we were in was showing Greek Big Brother. So Bailey, get your video set and get someone to TEXT you the results as they happen.

I too, saw a brief view of this awful programme. I would rather watch QVC, or lately, the political broadcasts (the real big brother).
What a load of rubbish. Bring back Wooden Tops, then I suppose there is some similarity between the two programmes.
Happy Viewing !!!

Oh Judie, you must be nearly as young as your picture. I remember showing my children 'Tales of the Riverbank' and now I am showing my Grandchildren.
Just to prove I am really old (sad old git) the first programs I remember are 'Billy Bean and his machine' in 1951 and Prudence Kitten around 1952. Then there was 'Muffin the Mule' around 1952/1953. (name suspect)
Much later I remember 'Captain Pugwash' and his crew. They consisted of ' Roger the cabin boy' , 'Master Bates' , and 'Seaman Stains' Is it me or are all these names rather rude and the early childrens program makers were taking the Micky out of the public using names like this for childrens TV?

Hi Angela.
They were not rude then, but the evolution of life has made them into rude words and phrases. This maybe why some of these programmes have not been rerun like Bill and Ben, Andy Pandy etc.
How life can change things.

Cathy remembers a mouse called Toppo Gigio (spelling?) but I can only recall Speedy Gonzales. Don't forget Fingerbobs - a real show from the 60's, Blue Peter, the Wooden Tops, Camberwick Green and, a particular favourite of mine, Noggin the Nog - Oliver Postgate is a genius.

Hi Phil(Hellene)
I remember the mouse Topo Giggio too, and all the others too, some of which were still going when my son, who is now 30 was little and we used to watch them together. I remember my daughter being particularly keen on Pingu the Penguin which was another great programme. Then of course there was Tony Hart and his pictures, and Morph. I believe that he is was the first character that came out of the Aardman company, the creators of Creature Comforts. The people who invented Wallace and Grommit.
I suppose one good thing about getting older, we can see how some areas of content and production in television/cinema have improved. I can remember as a relatively small child when we got our first TV, and it was very definitely grainy black and white!
I know this thread first started about Big Brother, just wondered what people's views are about REALITY TV in general. It seems that a fair proportion of time each day is set aside for Reality TV. I have read one or two articles recently from people in the business saying they thing the 'bubble' is about to burst. I know a little about that area of TV as my son has worked in it - not BIG BROTHER I hasten to add, but he has worked on similar programmes.

Firstly, well done to your son, what a great job!!!
Im personally not that fussed on reality tv, i find it quite boring, although i do love watching people! But i do have to say that i absolutely love The Osbournes, that makes me laugh so much!!, i cant believe people actually go on like that family, very dissfunctional (spelling) but very very amusing to watch!!! Ozzy does it for me LOL

Hi All.
I was very upset when I grew up, (well nearly), and found out that Toppo Gigio was a pair of dressed fingers through a black curtain. I remember him once being the top of the bill at the London Palladium (Bruce Forsyth era).
Hello, my name is Toppo Giggio, how are you.
Those were the days.
Graham, yes I do agree with you on that score. Probably not worded right but in those days, unlike today, I dont think the kids understood the alternative meanings, unlike today. I cannot recall my very strict parents running to the TV to switch off, or turn it over, (Did we have more than one channel then). How times change.
Best Wishes.

Hope yu try it and enjoy
