I'm not Adam, but I can confirm that the last episode ever* was within the last week. They had a regular series this summer, followed immediately after by a short "Ultimate Big Brother" competition featuring various well-known past contestants and the winner of this year's edition. * - Unless Five can buy the rights from Channel 4, which they're rumoured to be negotiating for. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/aug/25/big-brother-channel-5 -- David J.
