Big Brother aims for record traffic

Channel 4 will be hoping for record website traffic this year as series 5 of Big Brother hits our screens tonight. On the opening day of the reality show last year the BB4 site became the most visited TV website in the UK.

And as Big Brother fever grips the nation yet again, here’s our pick of the best BB sites on the web:

Best Feature on the official site
www.channel4.com/bigbrother
It’s got to be the behind the scenes footage available exclusively to 4Broadband subscribers. For £4.95 a month you can watch extended housemate video profiles, backstage coverage and mini documentaries on how the show is compiled.

Best Fansite

The Big Brother UK fan site kept us going last year when BB4 reached coma-inducing levels of tedium
