Well, it looks as though Teenage Big Brother could well become a reality, according to this article from Ananova:

Teenage Big Brother show being planned

A teenage version of Big Brother is being planned by Channel 4.

The working title of the show, currently in development, is Teen Big Brother: The Experiment.

It would be an educational schools programme, following the huge success of the hit reality show which begins its fourth series tonight.

Lysette Cohen, Channel 4 spokeswoman, said: "We are often looking at ways to extend the Big Brother brand and this is one of a number of ideas we have got in development."

Her comments follow remarks made by Heather Rabbatts, of Channel 4's educational arm 4Learning.

The Independent reported that at a conference in Lisbon, Rabbatts said: "We're going to take a group of young adults and see how they collaborate."

She added: "The most transferable areas for this type of educational programming are personal health, body awareness, and any show that highlights such issues around growing up, such as drugs, first jobs, leaving home for the first time."

The programme would most likely be made by Endemol, the Dutch-owned company which makes the adult versions of Big Brother.

An educational schools programme? Interesting!!!
