Back in channel 4 days, when each chair would basically become really iconic, they would either be auctioned off for charity, (Mario mole, bb11 owns the bb7 one) or they were kept by the channel for promotional purposes. For example, the bb5 chair toured the country with then sponsor talk talk, along with housemates of that series. The bb3 one was kept by channel 4, it has been used in a few other shows, such as doctor who, and reused in ultimate BB. The channel 5 days, however, I have no idea. They aren't really that iconic anymore unfortunately and there are so many in so little time they're not as wow worthy as they once were. The bb1 chair had a few replicas made, and I think channel 4 still has it on display at its hq.

^^^ I think Alan Davies owns the BB1 chair. He said he was a huge fan when it started and still has it in the corner of his living room.

Big Brother didn't start getting Diary Room chairs custom made until at least Big Brother 4 - the first three are/were freely available - so the chances of the ones in Dr Who/UBB being the exact BB3 one are slim.

BB1: http://www.conranshop.co.uk/558976/EGG-CHAIR/Product (can't find the exact colour)

BB2: http://areadomus.gr/en/Armchair/Los-Muebles-Amorosos/show_139_58.html

BB3: http://www.bebitalia.it/Products/Product-serie_up_2000-armchairs_103_en.html

Also, the BB10 chair wasn't exclusive either: http://pinkappledesigns.co.uk/alessandro-mendini/chairs/proust-and-proust-geometrica.1667.htm

08marsh is right - not sure if he still has it, but Alan Davies did buy the chair from the BB1 house: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/924713.stm

Great, can we get 10 thousand pounds together and a delivery team over to Marcus Akin's house to leave him with the only chair he'll ever look good on, sitting sideways? ;)

Last Marcus tweet: "Today I did a sh*t, fart, sneeze and cough at the same time and I am still alive. Myth... busted."

Class.
