Big Brother teased in new Channel 10 2025 promo

Whoever his name is. This is the voice of big brother that most people would associate bb with.

I remember downloading the ringtone from the BB website back in 05 (I think)

"This is Big Brother, you have been evicted, it's time to leave the house."

"This is Big Brother, come to the diary room immediately, I'm awarding you a strike."

Don't think there was a third, but there was the 05-07 theme that we could download, too.

3 Mobile also had some. I think one of them was 'This is Big Brother, it's time to go... to voice mail"

Pretty sure I have the library of his sayings somewhere.

While Nick is the "scary" Big Brother from the 2005-2007 days (although I was reading this was disputed now), some younger viewers might recognise Leon Murray, who debuted in 2008 and did all of Channel 9's seasons.

And to keep all the main Big Brothers together, this from @marquisite

Alex Mavroidakis was EP during Nine era but wasn't the BB voice (although he did voice Surly). There goes your argument that an Executive Producer is always the voice of Big Brother.

In fact, the original voice himself said on ABC's Reality Check in 2014 that he only put his hand up because Channel Ten didn't like that the people who were talking to the house were British. Source:

I know about Leon. Never liked his voice, especially his millennial Aussie accent - "Noorr", "doorrrn't", "goorrr". He was also too friendly and inappropriately humorous. Big Brother is supposed to be stern and formidable.

I'll say it again, bring back Nick!

Nick was involved in a biking accident which is party why he wasn’t the voice in 2008.
Not sure what he’s up to now.

His LinkedIn shows that he's still active and is still working. He's also currently writing a book.
