Well I want to start watching the channel 4 big brothers but i dont know whether there is any point in watching them all so could someone be so kind and tell me what are the best series' to watch and why? but don't give to much away thanks

[Jack_]

BB6 and BB7 for sure, start with them

I've not seen BB5 but heard it's good so that's another one to watch

So maybe start at BB5 and work your way through till BB11? Then go back and watch BB2/BB3 if you wanted

[Benji_]

ok thanks

BB1: The first Big Brother is completely different from the others. Nasty Nick is a legend. 7/10
BB2: Brian Dowling's BB. 7/10
BB3: Jade Goody's BB. 8/10
BB4: Worst BB. 5/10
BB5: Fight night. 9/10
BB6: Great cast. Crazy Craig. 9/10
BB7: Tourette's Pete/Poor Shabhaz. 9/10
BB8: Twins/Belo/horrible Carole. 6/10
BB9: House divide. 8/10
BB10 Mighty Marcus/Bully Lisa. 8/10
BB11 Funny Ben/Ninja Sam. 8/10

i would say watch BB 5 first

[reece(:]

BB6 then BB5 then BB7 then BB8 then BB10

[aman201]

Start with BB5 definitely.

[Withano]

5, 6, 7 and 8 were the best ones. 2, 3 & 9 weren't too bad either. The rest isn't really worth your time.

Ok thanks guys i've started with BB5?

Yep, best idea.

BB5 was fantastic.

[Jack_]

Yeah, your best order would be:

BB5
BB6
BB7
BB8
BB9
BB10
BB11

And then do BB2 and BB3 (and 1 and 4 if you cba)

That way you're seeing the best first and doing it in some kind of chronological order

[muchadoaboutnothing]

BB9 was my favourite with the Head of House and the divided house although I so disliked Luke Marsden but people on here are right - start looking a BB5.

[robroy_2000]

My best was bb1 to bb8

[Pincho Paxton]

BB5 was scary, I was watching it live. I reported it to Ofcom.

[Daniel.]

My personal favourites are BB6, BB7 and BB10 (definition of the word underrated). BB5 is good too but BB6 is far more consistent with a load of horrible yet hilarious housemates which makes great TV. Personally I find BB5 pretty overrated but it's a good place to start. I cant comment on the first four as I haven't seen them.

[reece(:]

BB4 is only good for Tania and Lisa.

spartacus supernatural and game of throne lol

If you really wanna go back to when it was at its biggest and most popular start with Big Brother 3.

That year 10 million people tuned into watch.

Skip number 4 then go straight to 5,6,7,9,10,11 then Ultimate Big Brother just to cap it all off

So yeah start with BB3.

I personally liked BB1 and BB2 but they may be a little dated now.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So you started on BB5?

Keep us updated on what you think of it

Its a bit brutal, violent and pornographic a lot of the time but it was epic.

Even branded "Disgusting" on Sky/BBC news. Brilliant.

[Benji_]

Well I watched the first few episodes of BB5 and Kitten was just so legendary/annoying, marco reminds me of louie spence and so far my favourite is Nadia! She's so funny

[Benji_]

Apparently BB7 is ment to be the best?

[Jack_]

It's usually pretty close between BB6 and BB7 for which is best, I change my opinion on that regularly...atm BB6 just edges it though.

BB6 had a better cast but BB7 was better produced with its twists.

[Redway]

From what I've seen, BB5 - BB7 were absolutely fantastic series although in a way BB7 probably wasn't worth it because even though we had ace moments (Nikki's hilarious diary room entries and all) I remember it attracting a lot of controversy and the producers were afraid to take risks, giving us completely bland housemates a year later. It may have been awesome to watch at the time, but in the long-term it probably did the show more harm than good tbh. It's very telling that 2006's edition was the last particularly popular edition (and even that much of that was for the wrong reasons).

Anyway, it'd probably be something like this:

Spoiler:

1. BB5
2. BB6
3. BB7
4. BB3
5. BB9
6. BB10
7. BB14
8. BB13
9. BB12
10. BB2

139. BB4

Don't forget to watch Princess Nikki as well. That's even better than watching Nikki on Big Brother. It's a bit like Karl Pilkington looking for a job.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So you've watched the launch night and a few episodes already?

**** me you're in a rush lol.
