Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review Big Brother was Ithe/I 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.pBOn IBig Brother--Uncut/I and the DVD/B 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 IBig Brother: Uncut/I 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.pGiven 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 IBig Brother/I 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? --IEdward Lawrenson/I

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!!! excellent June 18, 2001 1 out of 2 found this review helpful this video is extremely good,as it shows you the best (and worst) bits of BIG BROTHER. You may not remember the first week, or may not have even been watching it, and if that's the case, well be this. It shows you from week 1 to week 9. Also delves deep into subjects like bad habits, arguments, fun and yes thats right-nasty nick. So if you were a fan of big brother or if you never watched it, buy it to see what the big deal was. Amazing. Excellent buy! Big Brother-The Inside story October 1, 2000 0 out of 1 found this review helpful Big Bro- the inside story, Well where shall I start?. Full of 'the bits you didn't see on tv'. This video is one of the best bits of entertaiment I have seen in a long long time. It gets funnier every time you watch. a must for all Big Brother Fanatics. Brilliant!! October 23, 2000 Jackie (Felixstowe, suffolk, England) This is a must have for the big brother fan (including me!) It puts what inside the house was like to a full stop. 5 stars! A real eye opener !!! October 31, 2000 After watching every show aired, I thought there was nothing new I could see. Boy, I was wrong. This video is the real fly on the wall I wanted to be throughout the entire nine weeks the contestants were in the house. We see so many new sides to the contestants and we also get to see the most memorable moments again, The confrontation and the massage. This video allows viewers to see the true personality of the contestants that didn't quite escape the editors knife !! Overall this video is everything I expected and more. I would recommend this video to anyone who really wanted to be INSIDE the house - it takes you there ! Showing reviews 1-5 of 14 1 2 3 Next »
