Amazon.co.uk Review
Hitting back with a second series, the Big Brother phenomenon looks set to continue into the foreseeable future. Many critics of the show predicted that the concept had run out of steam by the end of its first series, and the nonchalance of the new contestants in the Big Brother house--who all seemed rather insipid compared to the likes of Nasty Nick--appeared to confirm their worst fears. However, the unashamedly voyeuristic nature of the show made the sequel almost as much of a success as the first one, topping Channel 4's ratings for weeks on end, and fuelling pub conversations across the country over the summer of 2001. With national papers backing their favourite candidates and the final public vote for the winner beating the turn out for the 2001 General Election, the series' formula appears to have plenty of mileage in it yet. This compilation brings you the best and worst of the household's antics: from Brian's comedy moments to Paul and Helen's will--they-won't-they audience grabber. --Nikki Disney

Synopsis
Highlights from Big Brother and another set of house mates: Amma, Josh, Bubble, Dean, Elizabeth, Helen, Narinder, Paul, Penny, Stuart and winner Brian.

Customer Reviews

A big fan, hooked on TV, but DVD was a letdown: sorry!
I thought BB2 was great during the Summer and was hooked. So why buy the DVD? I thought there would be loads of unseen bits and behind the scenes stuff, plus a compilation of all the most memorable scenes, interviews etc. Lets be honest, all the basic stuff was there. New bits included all the audition tapes (good) but I felt that with the opportunity for lots of menu driven extra content on a DVD there would be a lot more. In my opinion, the DVD is not as good as expected. Would have been great to have tapes of the interviews and the exits from the house (you do see the entry of the housemates - definitely not as much drama as the exits). Overall, a good souvenir, bit of a laugh but keep expectations of new stuff in proportion vs the hype.

Brought all the pleasure and memories back
Brilliant, another chance to watch the series that had us all hooked, some (not very many if you watched the E4 footage) unseen footage, previously not seen on C4, brilliant extra bonus stuff on DVD like audition tapes etc. Well worth the money to add this "classic" to your collection if you are a true die-hard BB fan.

Hooked all over again....are we sad or just normal ?
Let's just say that I'm sure we didn't expect to be hooked on BB2 did we? But.....we were..go on admit it !!!! Every moment we could we watched them and were glad it wasn't us..but also mildly envious of their media profiles ...we couldn't wait to see them voted out and now we get to re-live the summer of BB2....even the bits we weren't allowed to see before... Buy this...you know you want to .....but I won't give away the plot.....it'd only spoil it for you.... go on,get out the choccies and settle down to re-live the summer of Brian....and ....of course Paddy...the true hearthrob of the BB house!
