The Daily Star offers much praise to Big Brother today as the nation prepares for the end of its 11th and final series on Channel 4 tonight. "It was a true TV pioneer and will be sorely missed in the schedules," says the paper's leader. Such acclaim has nothing to do with the fact that the paper's owner, Richard Desmond, has been tipped to buy Big Brother for Channel 5, of course. "From day one, it has brought fans a gripping mix of freaks, fun and fights. Big Brother, you've been a great show. We will remember your best bits." Headlined "Brotherly love affair", Monkey has a hunch this is one romance that is yet to run its course.
