The First Eviction

Friday 8^th June – First eviction – Live Office Runner

Call time: 12pm

Today was the first eviction. As usual I began my day by signing out my walkie and starting my office duties. Then the script run began. The printer was still not fixed and so we had to use the printer down in BOTS again. We managed to get the scripts out quicker but they were still not on time. We had loads of runners helping run them round to all the places they need to go to.

After the script run was done it was time to get back to my runner duties.

This week it was extremely windy and rainy and therefore we were told by health and safety that because of the weather conditions the set was unsafe for us to use tonight and therefore the first eviction had to take place on the Bit on the Side set. Brian presented the whole show from this set and instead of the evicted housemate walking down the stairs to the audience she was quickly carted off from the house to BOTS whilst the show was in the ad break.

Once the show had finished it was home time.

Launch Night

Tuesday 5^th June – Big Brother Launch Night – Live Office Runner

Call time: 11 am

Today was launch night. I was really excited to get stuck into the whole atmosphere of launch night. Once I got to the studios I signed out my walk and got to work with my office duties – signing out walkies, doing tea runs and changing bins.

Once I had done all of this it was time for the script run. As it was the launch night it was important that we got all of the schedules, scripts and camera cards out as soon as possible as they were needed for the meeting and rehearsals. Again the copiers kept jamming and we solved the problem my taking a load of paper and a copy of all of the documents down to the Big Brother Bit on the Side (BOTS) offices to use their printers. The script run still took us a long time but by using the printers in BOTS the time it took us to do it was minimized.

I then carried on with my office duties – getting dinner orders and going out to collect them, making sure the office table was stocked up with drinks and snacks for the crew to take as they signed out their walkies and collected their dinner vouchers.

At 9pm the show began and the girl on the early office shift had left. I began tidying up the office – sweeping, changing bins, shredding and putting snack away whilst being able to watch the show in the office.

Once the show had finished all of the crew and runners began making their way back to the Live office to sign walkies back in. Once all the walkies had been signed in it was time to go home.
