The news recently that one of the original Reality TV formats was nearing the end of it's days was not welcome news to Big Brother fans! It's the subject of this week's episode, which also incluðes talk of Love Island and Teen Mom!

So, how 'real' is Reality TV, how taking part in shows like this changes lives,  and even though we love it, would any of us go into the Big Brother House, are all on the agenda. 

With Yvonne Whelan & Daniel Keating

Episode 70 - 141018 - Back Chat One on One with  Joyce O'Carroll

Like all good conversations, Back Chat With Maria McCann could make you laugh, it could make you cry, it could make you think - and sometimes all in the one episode! 

It's a lively mix of topics, brought to you in a typically irreverent and quirky fashion. Like all the best conversations it just evolves, so you never know where it's going take you. 

The agenda is largely set by weekly events, with the emphasis on human interest, nostalgia and fun. But Back Chat With Maria McCann will also have an occasional serious side, with Debates and Single Subject discussions in the mix.
