Big Brother is the flagship BB programme, airing daily on Channel 4 with repeats on C4 and E4. Aside from the live launch and final, it takes three forms:

Highlights: A daily round up of highlights from the past 24 hours in the house. Airs Monday-Thursday and Saturday-Sunday. Highlights are narrated by Marcus Bentley.

Live Eviction: Every Friday, Davina presents two live shows covering the latest eviction. The first contains the highlights from the past 24 hours in the house, whilst the second features the eviction. It is sometimes extended if an added twist takes place.

Live Specials: Every so often, a live show hosted by Davina will take place on a day other than Friday, featuring surprise evictions or twists.

E4, Fridays
Presented by Davina McCall

Big Brother’s Big Mouth (sometimes shortened to BBBM), is a discussion show spin-off. This year, it airs in a new hour-long format on Fridays, with the weekly guest presenters ditched in favour of Davina McCall.

The show focuses on discussions about the past week’s events with two guests (celebrities, journalists or critics) and a small studio audience, as well as the latest evictee, who is interviewed in the second part. Short comedic segments and performances from urban music artists also feature. Viewers are invited to join in by text, with some messages being displayed on screen periodically throughout each episode.
