And just had more rougue announcements going into the 5news update at 8.

And no break flashes. Just very old and now odd looking cuts to black in between each one. Not a good day to launch big brother, though I was thinking maybe that there should be big brother flashes that are not working.

I am seeing Big Brother flashes between adverts on Sky.

Not getting any on good old analogue terrestrial in London either. Clearly Channel 5 have been having problems this evening.

I'm sure I saw some weird bits at the end of commercial breaks too - the last few frames of the end of the break repeated, like they were jumping in and out of a feed (this was on C5 SD, might have expected it on the HD channel).

On Twitter, I'm hearing Channel 5 got 5.1 million viewers for Celebrity Big Brother, surely that's a record for them in their 14 year history!

EDIT: Confirmed by Media Guardian

Yep, it's the highest non-sport or film rated show since Joey premiered in 2005.

Is he not the guy who voiced "Flynn" on cbbc's 50/50?

That's been going on for a few weeks, sometimes it skips, sometimes it just freezes and the picture moves down and left a little. Also for trailers before a break they seem to miss the last second or so, I'm assuming it's some form of playout problem.
