The UK caught the Big Brother bug in 2000 and quickly became compulsory viewing.
The eviction of "Nasty" Nick Bateman, was a memorable moment, after he was booted out of the house for telling a few porkpies.
After 64 days - the show's shortest run in the world - Liverpudlian Craig Phillips emerged victorious and immediately pledged to give his £70,000 winnings to a friend who needed a vital operation.
Craig has now become a celebrity carpenter and appears on shows like the BBC's House Call, In the Country and Big Strong Boys.
