Today's The Day.

So, the day dawns.

4 June 2009. A day that will, quite possibly, go down in history. Some might say a legendary day.

A palpable sense of anticipation hangs over our Great Nation, a feeling that by the time this day closes we will have seen amazing things, know much more than we did the day before and have a sensation of ways forward and decisions that must be made.

Yes, it's an historic day.

In Westminster, politicians across the spectrum will turn their eyes to TV screens, waiting for the news to carry the information they crave.

From Edinburgh to Epping, from Aberdeen to Anglesey, the whole country is rapt. Conversation in offices, pubs and across the blogosphere is of nothing else, as with bated breath, we eagerly anticipate the Answer to the question we're all waiting for. . . .

Just HOW fucked-up will tonight's Big Brother contestants be?
