Time to dust down the TV. Big Brother is back.  For the first time, Big Brother's cheeky little younger brother will be making an appearance on Channel 4. The irrepressible Dermot O'Leary will be hosting Big Brother's Little Brother live at teatime every weekday.

This show will feature insights from friends, celebrities and psychologists - as well as the very first in-depth interviews with evicted housemates on an extended edition on Sunday.

As usual, Channel 4 will also be hosting a nightly highlights show narrated by the voice of Big Brother, Marcus Bentley.

On Saturday night the show goes live as the housemates take part in a challenge that gives them a chance to win luxuries.

And then, of course, there's eviction night - and six little words to strike fear into the heart of the bravest housemate.

"Big Brother house, this is Davina."

Davina McCall's back with the two live eviction shows each Friday on Channel 4. In the first, we discover who tops the public eviction poll. In the second, the evicted housemate says their final (sometimes) fond farewells to the others - before leaving the house for the last time.

Serious Big Brother fans, of course, might choose to head straight for E4 to catch all the action as it happens with live streaming around the clock. At any time of the day or night, digital viewers can see what's happening in the house from up to four different camera angles in various parts of the house and garden.

But if that's not intrusive enough for you, what about exclusive access to the nominations process for the first time in E4's new 'Nominations Uncut' show? On every Tuesday evening on E4, this show will reveal the housemates' nominations in full and the motives behind their decisions.

And it all starts on launch night on Friday, with almost non-stop coverage of Britain's most eagerly awaited new residents.

Viewers will be able to get their first glimpses of the twelve housemates as they enter the Hertfordshire House of cameras in a live programme on Channel 4 between 8.30pm and 9.30pm.

As if an hour could ever be enough for fans of Big Brother! Worry not, Davina will be back at the House from 10.45pm to 11.15pm to take a peep at what's been going on in the House since its new occupants moved in.

Then, from 12.25am to 2.00am there'll be live coverage of the housemates on their first night.

In addition, E4 viewers can get their BB fix with live coverage of the House between 9.30pm and 10.45pm, and 11.50pm and 6.00am.

In the meantime, take a last flick through those TV listings magazines. Soon you won't need any of them - we know what you'll be watching...
