Finally...CBS is starting to do something right...that is one thing I love about BBUK, they have the after show (Bit on the Side; BB Late & Live), after EVERY episode to discuss what is going on in the house, interview evicted HG's, BTS, exclusive clips and everything BB...and they have a live audience. So this is pre-taped, but it is a start.

Totally agree, I also follow the BBUK series, and its after shows. It IS a start, for us 'yanks', but, then again the 'Brits' love their BB. Hence why it survived three network changes, and appears to be going strong on iTV, with not much chance of being canceled. Time will tell how long 'Unlocked' survives. Here in the US we tend to deal a lot more on viewer totals, and I think CBS is 'testing the waters' with this show to see if they can get the numbers. The series may survive, or if it doesn't get enough viewers, die on the production floor.

Shame, really, another variation of Big Brother, ends. The scuttlebutt (or rumour mill) I heard, was it was canceled, or ended, due to accusations of production tampering, i.e. tailoring tasks, giving more camera time, etc... to give one or more house guests an unfair advantage. Does anyone have any information on possible returning ???

Classic twist of fate, Rod Serling at his finest!

The episode starts, evolves, and ends, almost like any Twilight Zone, Outer Limits episode. In fact, I couldn't help but draw conclusions on where the story will lead. I felt like if this was a Rod Serling episode, I knew where it would end, and the story was playing out like a warning. Guided by Brooker, and his story telling, with Capaldi's comfortable style of acting, I kept waiting for the catalyst that changes artificial to human. Brooker has made this seventh series a collection of great watches, and in the art of TZ or OL subjects, except that Brooker has added technology to the mix.
