Default My old uni lecturer wrote a piece on BB...

I graduated around 5 years ago now, I know I had been following my lecturer on social media, but had no idea that: even watched the show. He posted this, and I gave it a read...

It;s a long piece, just a warning!

A small section of the last bit of the piece....

I’m hoping that the more inclusive, kinder series that is currently concluding on C5 with housemates that (in the main) you’d happy to spend time with and don’t seem overly concerned about a future in Heat magazine but seem more fixed on winning the £100,000 prize money. Are, perhaps, a reflection of the post-Austerity reality for a generation of young people excluded from house-ownership, pensions and fully-functioning public services and that exist here as indication of a larger shift towards community and empathy.

But if you wanted to know what mainstream British society regarded as acceptable or what they felt about race, gender, attitudes, society and morality, then you could do worse than watch Big Brother. I shall miss the show once C5 put it out to pasture at the end of this series. But I guarantee it will resurface and its durable, distinctive, highly adaptable format will emerge transformed but oddly the same as ever.
