When Comic Relief Did Big Brother - TONIGHT 10pm BBC2 discussion thread

[Sawyer]

On the off chance this forum might have some activity, I thought it would be nice to discuss tonight's BBC2 documentary about Comic Relief Celebrity Big Brother back in 2001.

Airs tonight at 10pm.

If I remember rightly, Jack Dee wouldn't allow his footage to be shown previously.

that was a massive story at the time :laugh:

[Zizu]

This is amazing !!

I don’t recall much of this - just snippets
Really like the input of the housemates as well


I wish they’d just show every series again ..

They could show an episode a night FOREVER rather than fecking Fools and Horses or Dad’s fecking Army

This is funny.

[James]

Big Brother was massive in the media back then.

[Cherie]

This is a great watch, I never watched this CBB series

[MTVN]

How was that chocolate thing such a scandal, bizarre

[Cherie]

the music gives me chills :laugh:

[MTVN]

It's funny how impactful it was and how much it affected them when they were only in there a week

[Cherie]

it was on Hello or Ok or something, cant recall they sold their wedding to one of those so there was a hullabaloo about the product placement

Still feel like so what though, that Sun front page calling them 'sickening', 'greedy' and 'pathetic' is a bit much

Different times I suppose

[Zizu]

They should bring it back with the same housemates to see a comparison .

Even Davina and the voice over guy

I didn't realise that was the first celebrity show of anything....ground breaking

[hijaxers]

Sounds like catch up tomorrow.

Big Brother was still fresh back then. The ITV2 show can't bring that aspect back but I hope the 5 year absence can recover something in making it seem like a new beginning rather than just a delayed return.

[Alf]

the music gives me chills :laugh:Can't you turn your heating on or climb into your onesie?
