Can anyone explain why "Im a celebrity get me out of here" after midnight goes crazy.Every few moments the picture and sound are interrupted by because of 'legal reasons'...this also has happened in other 'reality' shows,late at night.
Big Brother (no pun intended) has stepped in-whole sections are lost without true explanation.
Anyone on the inside have any answers???

The answer is probably quite simple: earlier programmes feature edited highlights. The sound is switched off when participants start talking about other people since anything they say breaches that person's rights and can be actionable. And I suspect if they start discussing their own lives with a little too much candour, it's also switched off.
It's only a matter of time before BB picks a murder suspect as a contestant and makes a big deal of police breaking into the house to arrest them after an on-air confession.

On one of the earlier Big brothers, the contestants used to have games of "Late Night Libel" where they'd just make up some crap about someone famous and discuss it. The periods of silence became so long that the producers had to stop them in order to get some braodcastabl sound.

I dare say. Now that both the sex and violence boxes have been ticked it's difficult to see where this is heading, and so contestants with a questionable past would keep up its tabloid profile and voyeuristic appeal.
I fancy BB was perhaps a good idea at its inception, but they pretty much trashed it from the off.
