Default When and how did you start watching BB?
When did you start watching?

Did you start from BB1 and comic relief CBB1 or join later?
Did you watch when it moved to Channel 5?

Also, how did you know about it?

My story:
Just casually flicking through the channels when there was nothing on and saw Celebrity Big Brother 16 Live Launch. My parents had seen early Channel 4 ones so we tried it and I absolutely loved it. I didn't stop watching and was engrossed in it from start to finish especially as I felt patriotic having been to London earlier that day.

I saw the "When Bruv Takes Over" advert and thought I'd watch it tbh lol. I think I watched like two episodes of CBB8 and most of BB12 but can't really remember much about it. My first 'proper' series that I got into was BB13.

I don't get how 8/10 year olds could watch BB and understand it, or actually be allowed to from their parents lol

tbh i can't remember how i was allowed to watch it but all i know is i wasn't allowed to watch the rest of the series but i still did because i had a TV in my room and got caught during fight night. BB isn't exactly that hard to figure out when watching.

I think I caught some of BB10 Launch when I was in, like Year 4 because I couldn't sleep - but I really enjoyed it and my mum said they I was allowed to watch it as long as I only watched the sensored lunchtime repeats. I watched all of BB10 and BB11 like this and then the first that I watched like, live, was UBB. I was pretty mature as a kid though so my mum was fine with it because she knew I wouldn't repeat anything outside of the house

Bits of CBB4. I remember my nan loving Pete's "acidic tongue". After that BB7 was my first full series (and everyone was watching it)

I have watched it from series 1 episode 1.
I remember watching it and I couldn't believe what I was watching...on the first night I vaguely remember they got naked and covered themselves in paint and imprinted themselves on the walls...they were swearing and using the 'f' word and I was so shocked. I remember telling my husband the next morning...but I was hooked and have been ever since.
