Channel Four is to go straight for the racist row in 2008, bypassing Celebrity Big Brother entirely, we have just discovered.

Shitv's 'Love Thy Neighbour' was an awful, racist, shit-com of the 1970's which rarely got any better than racist name calling between two neighbours, one a white bigot, the other a black man.

The audience laughter, let alone the writing, on the show, would probably constitute a crime by today's standards.

Celebrity Big Brother 2007 was marred by awful, but ratings grabbing, friction between self-styled Essex Pig Jade and the lovely, dignified, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty.

Editorial: We thought premium phone-in shows had been suspended after the recent scandals. Why the hell do they let Big Brother go on? How do you know they are counting your vote? The Boobs says: Don't phone the money grabbing bastards.
