Synopsis
Although injected with unexpected twists, the fourth run for BIG BROTHER--where ordinary members of the public are isolated from the outside world and forced to endure each other's company--kept to the same formula as its predecessors. Plenty of tedium--occasionally spiced up with some nudity, drunken antics and arguments--is distilled down from nine weeks onto one DVD of highlights here. So if you feel the need to reminisce about Anouska in the bath, Jon Tickle's profound ramblings, Scott and Nush kissing whilst dressed as leprechauns or winner Cameron's trip to South Africa, then this disc is for you.

From the Back Cover

Big Brother 2003 was a summer of surprises: the shock nominations on the first night, the double eviction twist, the security alert, a new housemate, Lisa and the return of Jon Tickle. Witness the monumental task failures, enjoy the Reward Room’s surprises and the secret swap with the Big Brother house in Africa, which brought tears, beers … and even more flirting! With shocking footage and sensational extras, the DVD also includes multi-camera angle scenes, audition tapes and interviews with the housemates – perfect for the ultimate Big Brother fan!

Customer Reviews

Better than the TV version - but not by much
As a terminal Big brother addict I have to say BB4 was the worst of all. The series reached its peak with BB3, Alex Jade and Jonny made for almost compulsive viewing. There was genuine sexual chemistry, personality clashes and Jade..well, just being Jade.

However, where BB3 worked BB4 falls over. The DVD's best points are Cameron in Africa, and brief shots of drunken exploits with Steph going full frontal (is that a plus or a minus?)...and when BB brings Lisa in - hoping the usual formula of conflict/sex equals viewing figures - it failed because no one in the house or in the viewing public could relate to her rather disturbed persona.

If Anouska had remained in the house from the outset - and Steph had been voted out earlier, it could have been a far more entertaining show.
Unfortunately even the 'promised' clips of Anouska in Australia's are very brief indeed and not of much interest.

The rating of this DVD is 15, unlike all the other BB DVDs which were marketed as 'Uncensored 18 only' - this is possibly due to BB trying to maximise profits for its least successful offering yet, by selling to a broader more impressionable audience.

If you are a big fan - buy it, just for the novelty factor. If you want to see BB at its best, then buy BB2 and BB3 which are far superior.

Did I miss it?
Just watched this DVD and there is no - diary room chair breaking, 'Oh the hilarity' from Federico, inventions/Star Wars etc from Jon, laminate racing, Steph cleaning diary room, Gaetano walking into the camera; not even the full Fed/Ray and Ray/Scott exchanges.

There is a bit about how difficult nominations are, but none of the class nominations Jon always gave. If you didn't like Jon then you'll probably like this DVD as many of his quality moments are not on the DVD including talking to camera and being 'controversial'.

NO HOTEL CALIFORNIA!!!!

It's mainly TnA - Fed, Steph. If you've already watched/recorded BBLB then you already have the better clips.

Looking back...
some say it was good, others say it was bad. looking back on it i wouldsay it was good, loads happened like the swap, lisa coming in, jon coming BACK. the reward rooms and lephrcan night. arguments between lisa nd the others, ray nd steph, fedrico going on about us geordies (and no not all women from newcastle r tarts, just some). there is aslo Anouska in Australia, very gud, shame she went 1st!
there is also stuff whitch was NEVER shown on the T.V show.

i thonk however that i am not the only 1 who thonks that this year wasn't as good as lats year but lets hope nxt yrs is better. but still it has its funny moments.
only thing whitch is lacking is jade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
