History

Historical Context

When Channel 4 aired the first British Big Brother in July 2000, the format attracted an average of 4.5 million viewers and awarded £70,000 after a 64-day run. Its success spurred a Channel 5 revival (2011-2018) and an ITV2 prime-time return in 2023, establishing a durable template that newer ITV home-competition television series now emulate.
