Well, I'm a lifetime member of the National Trust but I wont be visiting this house!

Any other members on here, maybe who would like to see it?

all the same, it's worth remembering that Big Brother wasn't invented here, it was Dutch.

ChillDoubt - the impact of BB is not the content of the show, or the forgettable numpties who did and do populate it - it's the format.

What? Lord Of The Flies for TV? Hardly original, is it?!

Yes it was. That is precisely the point.

Not only had no one produced a 24/7, enforced, hidden camera programme

But many commentators predicted it wouldn't work e.g. people would freeze, be too self conscious, walk out etc

Or that it would be too boring to attract audiences - well that was proven wrong for at least the first 8-10 years
