It could only fit so much in to a 50 minute programme. It seemed to acknowledge that BB5 made sure things would never be the same again, bringing Nikki back in was the start of the end, the contestants all became fame hungry, particularly in BB8, and that CBB5 caused the media to turn on it big time.
If they had more time I'd have liked to see it explain why BB9 and 10 didn't work.

The Big Brother Uncut 1 DVD had a good 45 minute documentary explaining all the behind the scenes stuff if that's what you're interested in. It shows the reasons behind the initial 9 week length, how they built the BB1 house, and how they cast the HMs. Ruth Wrigley explains they couldn't put a black man and a nazi in the house together because they didn't want that sort of clash yet come BB5 Marco (a gay man who disliked assylum seekers) and Ahmed (a homophobe assylum seeker) were the first 2 in.
