| WOW! A feminist icon.....
AND Germaine Greer as well! 
What an utterly fascinating concept for a discussion, and as well as Aisleyne's participation what a cracking line-up! 
Will Ash be on Room 101 next?  |

I thought a BBC programme would not be BB related, but I'm still really pleased with this news. Top marks to the BBC for their selection of housemates wth more than one brain cell. |

| Aisleyne discussing George Orwell on BBC2's Culture Show with Germaine Greer, eh?
This surely confirms that Aisleyne IS indeed the 21st Century version of the Thinking Man's Crumpet. |

From what I recall, there doesn't seem to be any favouritism shown by Orwell's Big Brother. |

| Anyone watching this week's edition? I thought for a millisecond or two that Aisleyne already on it with Mark Kermode, but it was actually Lauren Laverne looking rather, erm, Aisleyne-ish!  |

| Excellent debate with a wide range of points raised. Aisleyne came over extremely well. She demonstrated good knowledge of the novel and raised some good points. She identified Orwellian cultural elements in the amount of surveillance cameras in daily life. |

| Very interesting little segment. I thought it deserved longer though. Maybe we'll get some more stuff in the extended uncut version?
I wonder why Pete was asked on?

It was good of him to remind us that he won BB. |

Location: Scottish Borders | I just watched it on iPlayer and she did come across briliantly. Unfortunately my internet connection is on a go slow at the moment, so the streaming kept buffering, so I think I'll still try to catch it tomorrow. |

| "This place is a joke. Each day I move around carrying a mobile phone (traceable) and an Oyster card (trackable), monitored, on average, by 10 times as many CCTV cameras as there are in the Big Brother house. Wherever I go, a gigantic compound eye peers at the back of my neck. I'm another bustling dot in the ant farm. "
Do you think Charlie Brooker was inspired by a certain TV programme last week to write about this today in his Guardian column?

I wouldn't be at all surprised. If he didn't value her input on his shows, he wouldn't have invited her back. |
