I think its disgusting that things like a very inhumane slaughter of an animal is shown on Ch4 as 'entertainment'. I find scenes like these hugely upsetting and see no reason why a pig's slaugher in Spain should be shown shortly after 8pm. If my son had watched this scene (which I'm very glad he didn't) I'm sure he would have been as traumatised as me! Cruelty to animals and scenes of barbaric slaughter are not appropriate fodder for entertainment or cookery shows!

In response to much_uk's point below, I've been re-assured by the production company that although that caller does have C4 connections his contact with the show was as a genuine BB viewer. Just because someone has been associated with the Channel, they are not precluded from genuinely contributing to The TV Show.

Thank you channel 4 for allowing us to make an informed choice about chickens and eggs from now on.

Whilst I consider that both the Jamie Oliver & Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall programs have done an excellent job, the one item missing was cost comparison.

Could we please have details of the money paid to the Farmer for each type of egg/chicken together with the average cost of these at the supermarket.

The point is that, after death, the processing/transportation costs for all types of egg/fowl are the same and we should be able to see if the Supermarkets just pass on the increased cost of raising or are they taking a proportionally larger profit on the dearer eggs/birds?

I found Krishnan's studio debate about Celebrity Big Brother biased and staged. The programme appeared to feature members of the public discussing their views on the current "Hijack" and previous formats of the show with E4/BB commissioner and Bright Pictures representative, in a live studio debate.

I am unclear why the show then featured a phone call complaint from Simon Warr. Simon Warr has featured on Channel 4 shows as a presenter/expert on "The Nightmares Next Door", "That'll Teach 'Em" and "That'll Teach 'Em Boys vs Girls" spin-off quiz. During his call he was not identified, on the on-screen caption, for having been a presenter/expert on Channel 4 programmes and appeared to be "just another" member of the public. I feel mislead by this. Does this mean that the audience participating in the debate are also current/ex Channel 4 employees? How can this be a fair, unbiased discussion?

Well done Channel 4. It's about time people were made to think more about how their food is produced. Although upsetting to watch I think it is important that the way in which birds are kept and killed should be put before a wide audience and not hidden away. The reality in incubation, slaughter houses and processing units is actually considerable more brutal than the sanitised slaughter shown on the show. My personal view is that documentary style films on food production should be shown in schools as part of the curiculum. When I was a child battery units did not exist . I grew up next to a small farm and thought all birds were free range like theirs. I was totally shocked when I found out about the battery industry via campaign mailings from charities and have kept my own chickens ever since. Not everybody can do this so it is essential they have the truth put in front of them .Living beings should not be treated like potatoes. More like this needed and before the watershed .

I watched Channel 4 at it's inception with 'The Animal Film' and have never eaten meat since. My partner and I have been avid viewers of all Hugh's programmes and although my partner has always been a lover of the idea of 'squirrel on a stick', I have been harder to convince. I now feel I could eat meat if I raised it and ate it (Neil may have to kill it though !!). It's been a long time coming but at last there are people with clout, like Hugh and Jamie Oliver, who want to end the suffering of the billions of animals we use to feed ourselves. Well done to the Milwey Estate residents for putting themselves and their children through the experiment. Well done Hugh and Jamie for being so passionate - please keep it up, we need you!! Well done Channel 4 for continuing to be the only channel that shows true reality TV that will change our perceptions. (Can BB though please!!?)

From what I've seen so far, this BB has the potential of being enjoyable and entertaining, not least because the housemates are intelligent and talented. However, what I'm not happy about is the scheduling and lack of live streaming. Previously, viewers have had the opportunity of paying for 24-hour online streaming but that's not available this time. Only those who subscribe to Virgin or Sky are able to access it and the fact that the show is now appearing on E4 means that some people won't be able to watch it at all! And is it really necessary to show endless repeats of Friends while BB is airing? If so, perhaps one of the +1 channels could have been used instead. I have always been an avid BB fan, was happy to pay for online streaming, and am trying hard to maintain enthusiasm for the current show, despite Channel 4 making it as difficult as possible. I'm even wondering if this is just a ploy to use the inevitable poor viewing figures as a reason for shelving future series.
