Interested to see how and why the Big Brother audiences have changed over the years especially since the series has moved to Channel 5 in 2011.

Since the very beginning on Channel 4 (2000). I had seen a documentary about the original Dutch show.

10 Years, I think. The first series I recall watching is the one where a housemate called Steph was always ill, and of course I remember Nadia winning, but I didn't really become a 'fan' until 2006.

Great poll... There isn't even an option for me.

I joined the first series at the nasty nick notes episode .

How un-nasty would nasty Nick be considered nowadays compared to modern housemates

BB - From series 1 to series 7 religiously. Dipped in and out of 8 and 9 and only watched the odd episode since.

Watched CBB since the first series with Jack Dee. Turned off the one Mark Owen won as it was like watching paint dry. Watched the rest of the C4 ones and all of the winter C5 ones. The summer C5 ones i've watched in varying degrees depending on what weeks I was on holiday.

"Nasty" wasn't particularly fitting even back then. He cheated and got found out, that's all.

Every single one since 2000 although have missed a few finals due to Augusts abroad.

There should be an option for people who started watching between 2000 and 2012.

He also told rather a lot of lies. Remember the dead wife and his Armed forces past?

He was good tv though

Oh, by the way, the civilian winner this year was Jason, not Bear. I know it's hard to tell who's more famous but...

Since the beginning and I watched just about every episode when C4 had the show, apart from when that Charley "I'm an it girl" was in there

I haven't watched every C5 series.

He was - the bit where Craig confronted him probably won him the show.

That final was lovely, him declaring he was donating the money for Joanne's heart & lung transplant.

I'm not saying other winners weren't worthy for not doing something like that but I cannot imagine anyone doing it now..........unless they were rich perhaps.

Since BB1, but I stopped watching civilian BB when C5 took over and got rid of live feed, without it there is no BB, I watch CBB but now we know it is scripted I shall not waste my time again with it

Hoping that one day the real BB will return to our screens.

The winning exit looked like he was leaving the back door of an office or some kind of portaloo

16 years is a long time but it looks very dated now it looks more like 1986

The old house in Bow seems a distant memory. I remember that launch night pretty much just showed them walking across the bridge all together carrying their cases. On eviction nights, the rest of the HMs used to run out and shout and wave to their families and the crowd.

Although I saw the odd episode of the first 2 series I would say I've been watching since 2002.

What if the production level was better, the housemates were given more tasks and games and producers produced situations that brought out intresting conflicts...would you be intrested in watching it regardless of scripting and lack of live feeds? (a bit like BB US)
