Aspect ratio Series 1–6 of Big Brother (2000–2005), including the four series of Celebrity Big Brother in between, were some of the very few programmes on mainstream British terrestrial television that were broadcast in the old 4:3 aspect ratio as opposed to the more common 16:9 widescreen format. (Except the Big Brother Panto, which was in widescreen). The reason for this is unclear, but was believed to be because of the size of some of the hidden cameras. However, from Big Brother 7 (2006) the aspect ratio has been switched in favour of the 16:9 format, with Big Brother, and all of its sister shows, broadcasting in widescreen. The aspect ratio of an image is its displayed width divided by its height (usually expressed as x:y). For instance, the aspect ratio of a traditional television screen is 4:3, or 1. ...

The House For the first two series, the house was located in Bow, London near to the Three Mills Studios which housed Davina's interviews and the production crew. After planning permission expired after two main seasons (and the first Celebrity Big Brother), Newham Council ordered the complex to be returned to a natural habitat. Subsequent series have taken place at Elstree Studios, which offers more security than the Bow site (which had a public footpath running alongside the southern border). Even the Elstree site has problems, however: it is close to a residential area, attracting complaints from locals about crowd noise on eviction night. Permission has recently been granted to extend the lease of the house for series 7 and 8 (2006 and 2007 respectively)[2]. On 20th July 2006 it was reported in a tabloid newspaper that Big Brother producers had failed to gain the rights to extend the lease for usage of the house past 2007, mainly due to the fact that local residents are continually complaining about crowd noise on eviction nights. Celebrity Big Brother 5 and Big Brother 8 will both be filmed at Elstree Studios but the newspaper reported that Big Brother producers are now attempting to find a new location for the Big Brother House where it will begin filming for series 9 (2008 respectively).[3] Bow, historically Stratford-le-Bow [1], is a place in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. ...

Every year, Big Brother changes the interior of the house to make it fit with the theme of the series. Series 5 for example had the "evil" theme, so the interior was very jagged, with jagged mirrors and very uncomfortable seating and beds. Series 7 has been given an "inside out" theme, which means that everything you expect to find indoors, you will find outdoors and vice versa. Every series with the exception of series 5, the entrance and exit to the house has been the same. It consists of a staircase leading up from the inside, to two sliding doors (usually with the eye logo on them) and another staircase down onto the stage. But the Big Brother 5 house was different. The entrance was on ground level, and therefore looked much less spectacular.
The tasks Housemates are regularly set tasks by Big Brother. These vary from a short job for one housemate (often conducted without the other housemates' knowledge) to tasks over several days involving the whole house. Shorter tasks are generally rewarded with "treats" such as cigarettes or alcohol. The longer ones usually determine the size of the weekly shopping budget. If housemates fail these tasks, they are provided with basic rations only. Tasks often involve an element of performance, dressing up, or artistic endeavour. In more recent series, some tasks have also rewarded or punished housemates with regard to nominations, such as the now infamous 'Pants of Power'. Series 3 of Big Brother introduced the "Big Brother: Live Task" programme. Each Saturday at 9.00 p.m., the housemates would take part in a short task which could change the way they live in the house, one task gave the housemates the chance to remove the bars (rich / poor side divide). The live tasks were continued in Big Brother 4, where winners of the task were treated to special rewards in a hidden 'reward room'. The live tasks were discontinued in the third week of Big Brother 5 to make way for further highlights from the house.
Live Channel 4 has made available live pictures and audio from the Big Brother house. However the stream had a delay of 15 minutes so that audio and/or pictures can be edited out to comply with TV regulations. Channel 4 is a public service television broadcaster in the United Kingdom (see British television). ...
- Internet Stream
The action from within the house has been streamed live over the Internet for a one-off fee subscription that lasts until the end of a series. Subscribers to NTL Broadband Plus can watch the live stream free over the Internet. NTL Incorporated, a U.S.-listed British company, provides cable services (internet, telephone and television) While NTL has its headquarters in New York City, the companys activities focus heavily on the United Kingdom, with operational headquarters in Hook, Hampshire. ...
- E4
Since the second series Channel 4's sister station E4 has also carried live pictures and audio from the Big Brother house. An interactive service available to digital viewers allows 24/7 access to the stream, even when E4 is carrying normal programming. In 2005 for Series 6 this service became available and free for 5.1 million viewers who have access to Freeview. During series 2 - 4 the interactive service via digital TV also carried up to 4 separate video streams; 2 containing live footage from the house, both focusing on different groups of people in different areas of the house whilst the others contained highlights from recent house action.
