![Big Brother: Uncut [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31nCjoqrxHL.jpg)
Product Description Eleven people locked together in a house, cut off from all contact with the outside world, their every action broadcast live on the internet and nightly into the homes of millions of viewers. 'Big Brother' was the television show everyone was talking about in the summer of 2000, and in this official companion the whole sordid story is revealed, complete with much previously unseen material. .co.uk Review Big Brother was the TV event of 2000. The set-up--put 10 members of the public in a specially constructed house, keep them under 24-hour surveillance and watch them sweat out the weekly evictions of one of their number, voted by us, the public--was derived from a hugely successful Dutch programme, and gripping, unmissable stuff it proved to be over here, too. Because you already know the outcome--and if you don't, where were you last summer--the game-show aspect of the programme doesn't really work on DVD or video. But that was never really the point. It was the personalities involved that made the show such compulsive viewing, and they remain as lively as ever.On Big Brother--Uncut and the DVD To add some spice, Channel 4 have included scenes that were "too hot" for television: when Nicola decides to do some nude body painting, we see a bit more flesh now; some of the conversations between the contestants are a bit saucier than the original broadcast versions; and there are some hilarious close-ups of a few of the housemates picking their nose. But the best thing about Big Brother: Uncut is what made the whole show such big news in the first place: Nasty Nick's downfall, here played out in all its excruciating detail.Given what we know about him, it's fun to see Nick try his hand at some team-building exercises the producers designed to select the 10 contestants before the programme aired. This scene is also included on "Inside Big Brother", a making-of documentary accompanying "Big Brother: Uncut". Made while the Big Brother show was still being broadcast, there's an agreeable urgency to this programme. The Channel 4 producers interviewed here seem a little bewildered by the show's success. John Del Mol, the co-creator of the Dutch show, hazards a guess that the British show was such a hit because it was so well cast, and there's a fascinating look into the design of the house--"penal chic" was the effect they were after. Also included in this package are profiles of the various contestants, but these feel a little redundant, if only because, over the course of the show, we learn a lot more about the housemates than what's on these skimpy resumes. The profiles do, however, tell us that most of the contestants harbour show-biz ambitions. Now, why is that not a surprise? --Edward Lawrenson

The big brother that started it all
This is the very first big brother that started the trend of reality tv in the uk.I didn't watch the first series on tv as I didn't know what big brother was.I love this DVD. I'm a huge big brother fan. The channel 4 big brothers were the best. Channel 5 have done a good job. But channel 4 big brothers are the classic ones.

'I've erm, made a mistake'
What better way to constantly watch Nasty Nick owning up to his 'mistakes' than this??

Highly entertaining trip down memory lane from Summer 2000
This is a highly enjoyable video, make no mistake. It covers a wide selection of the highs and lows from the unique series, and throws them together in a non-stop montage. By nature of the title 'Big Brother Uncut', there is a concentration on nudity and swearing, which are interesting in order to judge just how much Channel 4 trimmed out for initial transmission. The video covers a wide variety of themes,and jumps across the series with a great selection of highlights. It hits its peak (unsurprisingly) with the rumbling and eviction of Nick. (Am I alone in feeling sorry for the guy?) There are only two disappointments with the tape: 1. It's not on DVD. Come on, this was a series which saw the internet reborn in this country - Why not produce a recording of a higher technological quality. 2. It's not at least twice the length. The final section (Eviction) is far too quick, and leaves you highly frustrated at the wasted potential of the exercise. There is so much more which could be done to record the success of such a brilliant TV phenomenon. Let's hope there is a follow-up of much greater depth (and on DVD). On the bright side, however, it is hugely entertaining, and that alone warrants the star rating, but the series needs (and deserves) more.

The Show that started it all!
I was a huge Big brother fan back when it was on channel 4 so i needed to pick up the dvds. This Big brother uncut dvd is brilliant. It gives u a rundown on almost everything that happened inside the big brother house. It features several arguments and Plenty of Nasty Nick. It also features all the evictions that are pushed to the end of the dvd. yes they are rushed. but its great to look back at how long the housemates lasted. I definitely recommend this dvd to any big brother fan who wants to look back at the first ever big brother!

Big Brother 1 Rocks
When they say the first film is always the best well I think the same with Big Bro, I loved watching it from day 1 and still like to watch the video. This video shows you high and the lows of the show and brings back memories from where I was when things happened i.e When Nasty Nick was confronterd my mate came round for pizza and drink we had a wild night then thought wed pop Big Brother on in the back ground. Well talk about being glued!!! This video is definately worth watching for those REAL Big bro fans!!!
