The first occurrence of the title of the show should be emboldened and italicised, and later occurrences should be italicised. Likewise, all references to other shows should be italicised and the first occurrence linked.
The name of the page for a series page should be "Big Brother (country series number)", eg. "Big Brother (Germany series 8)". The name for a country's edition should be "Big Brother (country)".
Note: the term "series" is used in the UK to mean what Americans call a "season". Use the term appropriate to the particular country.
