Live blog: Big Brother Launch Show

Tonight the great great great grandaddy of reality shows is back for its ninth series. But will this year's Big Brother be bangin or bobbins? You decide.

Anna Pickard will be here tonight from 9pm for Channel 4's Big Brother Launch Show.

There will be screaming. There will be hugging. There will be Davina. And, according to the "teaser" press release put out by Channel 4 about this year's housemates earlier today, there will also be - in no particular order - a £13,000 watch, a 42-year old, a DJ, a stand-up comedian ("I'm here for three months, ladies and gentlemen"), breast implants, and... an extra from a Hugh Grant film. The usual gubbins, then.

We will be trying to avoid the technical snafu that afflicted poor Anna's Apprentice live blog last night - so hopefully no parallel realities, like that episode of Star Trek.

Anyway, our wonderful techxperts have now fixed Anna's parallel blog thingy - a bit like the ending of Donnie Darko - and you can read all about it, in one place, here.
