Big Brother
Big Brother is the daily show, featuring highlights of events that have occurred in the Big Brother House on the previous day. From 2000 to 2010, during the Channel 4 broadcast, it was generally 60 minutes in length if aired at 9 pm, and 75 minutes if aired at 10 pm. The show was sometimes referred to as the "Channel 4 show", the "catch-up show", the "main show", or the "highlights show". On Fridays it was aired as the first part of the eviction show. The programme was broadcast by Channel 5 from 2011 to 2018 and aired each night for 60 minutes. There was no title of Big Brother during the opening sequence or after advert breaks, as the music and Big Brother Eye were expected to be known to most people. When the show relaunched for a second time on ITV2 in 2023, the highlights show will be broadcast from Sunday to Friday, with no episode on a Saturday.
