    #1 - Live Finale (Part 2)

    S1:E51

    It's the end of Big Brother, and only Anna and Darren remain. Davina McCall reunites the eight previous evictees, from Sada to Darren, and after we get input from both Craig and Anna's friends and family in the studio and back home, she announces that the winner of Big Brother is...Craig! Anna leaves the house immediately and joins Davina in the studio, where she learns of her celebrity fans and speaks about her time in the house. Then, Davina actually enters the house for a guided tour and an interview with Craig, where he speaks about what winning means to him. Then, he leaves the house, and is presented with the £70,000 check by none other than Nicholas! Big Brother comes to a close with all 11 houseguests being reunited on the stage.

    #2 - LIVE Launch Show

    S5:E1

    In this, the totally LIVE Launch Programme of Big Brother 5, Davina introduces us to all 12 brand new contestants. And it couldn't be a more controversial list. A transsexual, a lesbian, an ex-stripper and an outrageously camp gay, to name just a few. In part one, a brief explanation of the application process (accompanied by all new footage) and a tour of the brand new house, lead by Davina. From here on out, the show is dedicated to the new arrivals. One by one, all 12 housemates enter the building that could be their home for up to 10 weeks. There arrivals are accompanied by a short video that shows some of their more memorable audition moments and introduces them to the viewing public. When all 12 have begun their Reality TV journey, Davina announces plans for the following days task and in an added twist, the contestant that loses will not receive their suitcase, containing everything they wanted to take into the house, for as long as they remain in the game.

    #3 - Day 20 Highlights

    S5:E23

    On the night June 16th 2004, Day 20 of the fifth season of Big Brother UK, an argument broke out on a scale never before witnessed in the reality show. This episode, especially extended to one hour, airs the brawl itself and the events of Day 20 that lead to such a colossal disaster for the housemate's relationships. During the day, tempers within the house were already reaching boiling point. Irritated by his constant cold showers (which Emma and Michelle set up), Victor rants inside the Diary Room, but getting no response takes to the roof to protest. Vanessa makes a fatal mistake when she tells Dan and Shell how she doesn't respect Michelle and that her opinions do not matter, unaware that the 'evictee' she is talking about is watching and listening to it all. By the time the two 'evicted' contestants return at around 10.45pm, the atmosphere in the house is at it's most explosive yet. Annoyed by the girls' return, Victor and Jason retreat to the garden to lick their wounds.
