Classic BBAU series on official Big Brother YouTube channel (from 8 pm AEST Aug 1)

They had no idea how big the show would be. Sofas from Freedom Furniture lol. DR was like someone's spare bedroom.

It looks so colourless too! I don't remember the world being sepia toned back then...

This has been amazing. I absolutely cannot do 40 hours but it has brought me more joy than I expected. The world isn’t so bleak anymore!

I work Friday-Monday so I'm going to miss a lot of this but thankfully I rewatched them all not a long long time ago so its still kind of all fresh in my mind. But wow this is so amazing. We have a 24/7 virtual watch party!

 

[JimJam]

Back then it was revolutionary. The whole thing would have cost a bloody fortune.

True! No money left for decent lino.

They have a ceiling though, unlike Seven.

Building a stand alone and dedicated house is not something a lot of networks would do these days. The fact it seems they’re doing it again. Ch 10 are really investing in this.

The dreamworld house always makes me feel so nostalgic! I instantly rewind to being a little four year old kid walking through the camera runs thinking wow, this show is filmed in dreamworld! My innocent childish innocence thought that meat that this show was the biggest thing in the world! So many memories of my family talking about Sara-Marie's bumdance for what felt like years.

They did it in seven weeks too though, incredible.

My reno is going to take twice as long and it's just moving a few walls, doors and windows and redoing, well, everything

And it stood for almost 20 years!

This feels like I’m watching the Mona Lisa being painted rn

 

[marquisite]

1060 people watching, currently.

And now 1150. And here I thought after an initial spike it'd drop off.

 

[timmy]

Love the simplicity of it all. Just people living in a house.

That’s all it ever had to be

 

[timmy]

If I drop the youtube URL into my video downloader app at the end, I wonder how big the file will be at 720p...

 

[timmy]

Will be worth waiting for them to digitise them and work a bit of magic on them I suspect.

Good lord, wait isn't it available in 1080?

 

[JimJam]

Love the simplicity of it all. Just people living in a house.

And so much more entertaining than recent iterations.

 

[timmy]

Good lord, wait isn't it available in 1080?

there's a 1080p option in Youtube, doesn't seem to help IMO

 

[timmy]

Not sure what it was recorded in though. Was 10HD even 1080i back then?

 

[andrew_08]

That 10 watermark at the end of the episode from 2001 is oddly comforting.

 

[Rison]

Why did they bother to include the “tonight on Big Brother” part in the intro? It teases fuck all. Haha.
