Big Brother

Author: Jean Ritchie
Description:
Now that the TV sensation of summer 2000 is over, take a look at the bits the camera didn't show you in Big Brother: The Unseen Story. As the ten contestants took to the task of out-popularising each other, the nation settled down to a nightly diet of flirtation, intrigue and kitchen sink crises. Aside from the fact that Big Brother ushered in a genuinely new concept in TV entertainment, broke countless taboos and raised many serious issues amongst the frippery, its major success was in managing to coax engrossing and coherent television out of a bunch of misfits with no experience of live performance. The defining moment remains the pantomime drama of Nasty Nick's kangaroo court de-frocking (for gamesmanship no less), but what really captured the imagination was the interaction of the characters and their shifting tensions and allegiances over the weeks cooped up in east London. Jean Ritchie's Big Brother: The Unseen Story charts the entire series, from concept through to Craig's triumph, taking us inside the minds of the participants and revealing the dynamics behind their sexual and power struggles. And Darren's true feelings for Marjorie. With exclusive access to the diaries of the contestants, it's your turn to play big brother. --Gala Brand
