Channel 4 - 6th July 2001 - Continuity and Commercial Break

It’s Friday 6th July 2001, and art dealer Adam Williams was found guilty of handling a painting which was looted by the Nazis. Meanwhile, at just after 11pm on Channel 4, lap-dancer Amma has just been evicted from the Big Brother house (out of interest, it was Brian that eventually won BB that year), and the network was about to air the last episode of the first series of the Japanese style betting frenzy known as Banzai. We pick it up just as the credits was about to roll at the end of the live edition of Big Brother.
