To big brother, dvd footage? For sale?

[magickster]

Yes I'm shouting this request.
Think of ALL the footage that is taken over the course of the show. In any 24 hours, the TV viewer only gets 30, 60 or 90 minutes depending. Why can't Channel 9/Big Brother bosses, release DVD's with unseen footage, even a "best of" or month 1, month 2, month 3 etc. I know that's a lot of footage but they sell boxed sets of entire series, over several seasons. I cannot see why they can't do the same here. Channel 9 has the money & there is the interest.
All of that footage just sits somewhere gathering dust.
Remember when Jade apparently ran around the yard, with her microphone off, yelling "arrest me, arrest me"? Yeah! Me neither. Where was this, or did I miss it? Jade was showing that she could throw out the rule book she is find of. This would have endeared her to more fans, i think.
With all of the hilarious, amazing footagewe have seen, imagine all of the other great stuff we haven't.
I bloody want to see it, damn it : { )

Shout with me peepies...

No. It doesn't work like that.

Sure, there are ways of obtaining every single episode that's been officially aired, if you know where to look. And Big Brother released official VHS and DVD's in the past (full season "best of" in 2001 and the "uncut/unseen/unreel" DVD in 2003), but what you are asking for is literally impossible - for any form of media.

I understand you are wanting to see little bits of footage that we haven't seen since the show moved to Channel 9 (because, granted, back in the day when we had 24/7 love streaming we already saw everything) but the show doesn't work like that anymore unfortunately. You just have to deal with it. Plus, that's kinda what the official website online videos are for.

There's nothing stopping you from obtaining copies of the seasons 2001-2013 though as I said, if you know how. But that's it.

EVERY episode is now available from EVERY season on YouTube Enjoy!

Before that happens I would have preferred and official release of the whole series on DVD. I have 'obtained' them and know they are available on youtube, just the obsessive compulsive sides of my personality would like official dvd/bluray.

All the episodes are on Youtube in 720p quality.

DVD quality is so 1990's. Buy a media player for $100 and then play it back at 720p.
Or download xbmc and then connect the pc up to a tv set via hdmi and presto.
Welcome to heaven.

I understand the OP as requesting to see footage that otherwise hasn't made it to the episodes or to the website.

Basically, there are reasons why such stuff doesn't make it to the final episodes, so it's pointless.

Also, in regards to the episodes that are online, it is true that "every" episode of the whole series is available, all except 3 episodes from 2001 and 3 episodes from 2002. I have the missing episodes listed at home for anyone who wants to know exactly which episodes are missing but they're otherwise "lost" as the original uploaders never had them and, if someone in Australia has recorded them, they've never been posted online. Apart from those, all other 11 seasons of BBAU are there in their entirety.

Just to follow up from my post above, the "missing" episodes that aren't available to watch or download anywhere are:

BBAU01 (2001):
- Day 5: Daily Show
- Day 6: Saturday Show
- Day 20: Daily Show
- Day 39: Daily Show

BBAU02 (2002):
- Day 8: Daily Show (even though the Nominations Show from the same night is available)
- Day 78: Daily Show
- Day 78: The Final Countdown

They are the only BBAU episodes you won't find whatsoever, unfortunately. I'd be happy for someone to say they have copies on video tape somewhere though. (I reckon the only people apart from production who'd have copies are probably HM's families...)

I had one of the first panasonic dvd recorders (non hdd model) so have all episodes on dvd. This was before digital tuners so the quality isn't that good. I used to record the BB series. I stopped doing that after the fish en chip lady won. After that the series were a tad boring.

Only started to watch this series about half way through. Watched a few mins of episode one and thought more rubbish tv and couldn't be bothered. Saw a promo of the show with funny antics with Ben and gave it a go after that.

Won of the best seasons was when Trevor won. That cast was the best so far, better than this years show.
They did have one nutter on that year in one Merlin who got up on stage with tape over his face and ranted on about detainees which at that time there was only a few in a detention centre. Don't thin he was invited back to the final show either.

Kind of hijacking this thread, but I wonder if someone has kept archives of the live feed from the old Ch10 series or even the Uplate episodes which aren't to be found anywhere.

If it wasn't illegal I would upload it to my youtube account. I have all the up late with Mikey on DVD for the first few seasons.
I think I did some in later series as the uplate show was quite funny. Come to think of it I have the series when was it Greg won and Tim came second and they gave him a horrible sedan of a car where Vesna who came third got the cool red sports car.

Youtube can be a dick about these sorts of things but mate, you would be a champion if you did. Try putlocker or another video sharing site and share the links here maybe?

So you have those missing episodes?? What will it take take to somehow get you to share?

 

[the Theorist]

^ I'd be interested too. Anything to "complete" my entire collection.

I also believe I am one of very few people who have a copy of the BB01 Pantomime they performed after the show for Starlight Foundation. I recorded it myself. The only other time I've seen it is the first half an hour is on YouTube from someone else.

Next I'll be wondering if anyone owns copies of the BB01 HM's on Sale Of The Century in 2001 too...

 

[the Theorist]

I think it's also worth noting that all the uploaded versions of BB02, while they are in extremely low quality (I think it's the poorest quality uploaded season, apart from CBB) many of the episodes are "cut". From memory, most of the Nominations shows had all of Gretel's live bits cut out and only the nominations left in it, and same with some Uncuts (Gretel's bits cut out). I'm not really fussed because it's understandable that a lot of these eps have been "lost", but it'd be cool to find the full versions again.
