The missing Celebrity Big Brother transcript

Today the Ofcom report into Channel 4’s Big Brother race row came out. And guess what, it turns out – that Channel 4 didn’t tell us about a secret game of limerick being played at night and denied there was any racism going on in the house. Ofcom has released a transcript of the racial incidents inside the house. This was the transcript of what they didn’t play or acknowledge.

[Cross talk]
Cleo: Just my luck.
Jade: What happened?
Cleo: Got full again.
Jade: Yeah, but I wanted a drink and it just went –
Cleo: Oh, I miss my huge mouth the whole time. It’s so embarrassing in restaurants when you go like this and… That’s why I never drink red. It really shows. No. It’s not going for you.
Jo: There once was a house that was happy.
Jade: I’ve got a great one, but I’m not allowed to say it.
Danielle: Why? Why? I want to know.
Cleo: She can’t if she can’t say it.

Jo: There once was a house that was happy, ‘mi ni mi ni mi ni mi ni’ and then there entered…
Cleo: You’re all going to go to Big Brother prison.
Danielle: How do you know what –
Cleo: And you’re going to need me –
Jo: But it ends with a nappy. What’s wrong with you people?
Jack: But if you say, ‘Along came some people who were tacky’.

Jo: Until someone got yappy.
Jade: Yes. There once was a house that was happy, until someone got yappy.
Jack: She nearly killed everyone with a chicken.
Cleo: But everything ended up finger-lickin’.

Making a mountain out of a mouse hill

An image taken from Al-Aqsa TV, a station run by Hamas, shows a giant black-and-white Mickey Mouse lookalike rodent named ‘Farfour,’ or ‘butterfly,’ talking on a children’s show. Hamas militants have enlisted the iconic Mickey Mouse to broadcast their message to their most impressionable audience, little kids. ‘Farfour’ does his high-pitched preaching against the U.S. and Israel on a children’s show run each Friday on Al-Aqsa TV. (AP Photo)

Some TV, a bit further a field than usual. You might have heard in the last few days about the Hamas Mouse called Farfour preaching hatred on some Palestinian Kids TV show. Well, apparently, he’s not! Quite a few reliable sources have looked at the transcripts of the show and found that they are wrong. So it looks like just another attempt to promote Islamophobia.

The Bionic Woman

This is probably old news by now but there is a new version of The Bionic Woman in production. It will star Michelle Ryan as the Jamie Sommers. Who’s Michelle Ryan, you ask? It’s the woman who played Zoe in Eastenders. Yes! Zoe! Slater! Is! The! New! Bionic! Woman! One minute she’s selling cut-price puffa jackets in Albert Square market, the next she’s lifting articulated lorries with a single bionic arm and running faster than a speeding car.

Panorama drama

This is a leaked clip of tonight’s Panorama show, “Scientology and Me”. It’s John Sweeney, losing it with a Scientologist. If it’s turned the normally mild mannered Panaorama reporter into a mad shouty person, what effect is it having on Katie Cruise?

The amazing albino hedgehog

This ghostly figure in the undergrowth is actually a rare albino hedgehog. The tiny animal is being cared for by Melanie James at the Bank Mill Nursery and Nature Reserve in Cumbria.

Ms James, 31, said she was completely taken aback when her two African pygmy hedgehogs produced an albino baby.

“I was totally surprised when he was born. Only one in ten thousand hedgehogs are born totally white with red eyes,” she said.

The amazing albino hedgehog

The little creature, who will be named in a competiton, could never be released because he would have no camoflauge in the wild.

A nocturnal animals, he is just over 11 weeks old and eats a diet of meal worms and cat biscuits.

The nature reserve, run by Melanie’s father Bill, also provides shelter for rare Natterjack toads, a red quirrel and Tikka, the Bengal Eagle Owl.

Mr James started the business as a small nursery about 15 years ago, but people kept bringing in unwanted animals and Melanie could not turn them away.

“I never meant for it to turn into a rescue centre, I just can’t say no.” Melanie said.

“My only limits are time and money!”
