The British network that airs “Celebrity Big Brother,” on which racist comments were alleged, appointed a human rights lawyer to a panel reviewing the show.

Rabinder Singh will sit as the independent member on a three-member panel Channel 4 named in the wake of the controversy that arose last week when thousands of viewers complained about racist comments directed toward Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, the BBC said Tuesday.

Two housemates subsequently apologized. One, Jade Goody, said on a British talk show that she was living in fear and that her home has been vandalized. Voters evicted her from the show last week. (more…)

Shilpa Shetty’s arrival on Big Brother in early January may have been the kiss of death for the immensely successful worldwide, seven-year reality TV programme format called Big Brother , with the board of Channel 4 meeting on Monday to discuss axing the show after the present series ends this week.

in the first public doubts ever to be aired by the broadcaster about a programme format that has spread to 20 countries, including india, and made hundreds of millions of pounds, several members of the C4 board are understood to believe allegations of racist behaviour towards Shetty have irrevocably discredited the show.

The board is also understood to believe that Big Brother’s most recent run is damaging Britain’s “still pretty fragile race relations”. Even as at least one respected former chairman of C4 described Big Brother as a “grotesque travesty” of all that public service broadcasting is supposed to be about because it exploits the “unhappy and the unfortunate”, the exodus of Big Brother’s biggest commercial backers gathered pace.

indian-born Karan Bilimoria’s Cobra Beer and United Biscuits are among a host of companies that have said they will no longer supply the Big Brother house with products and do not want to be part of the show’s branding. (more…)
