They told me that David is dead.
In the outen days I even they.
Had wire phones and they got music out of that.
Why was the OG reality TV show so iconic and how has it shaped what we watch today?
You're listening to Pop Culture with me, Shantae Joseph for the Guardian.
Big Brother has such a special place in British pop culture.
When the show first launched in 2000, 4.5 million people tuned in to watch the weird and wonderful social experiment.
Alison has packed 26 pairs of knickers.
I was four years old when the episode first aired, but I know so many of its most iconic moments because of playground chatter and sneaking up past bedtime to watch it.
Whether this season is amazing or a total flop, I am more interested in the legacy of the show and how the success of Big Brother change reality TV and British culture forever.
I did watch it.
All of Big Brother, sort of talent off screen from past and present always sort of get together at these moments and start texting each other with excitement because we all absolutely love the format.
Whether we're making it or not.
