Big Brother

Big Brother was an Earth reality television show that was broadcast in 200,100 on the Game Station. Everyone on Earth was a potential contestant, the transmat beam picking them at random, irrespective of their attitudes to appearing on the show. It was non-stop, with sixty Big Brother houses running at the same time (apparently, there had been more houses at some point in the past until the show was forced to 'cut back') and the losers were seemingly disintegrated, in an antechamber approximating the position of the house's front door, but were instead taken to the Dalek Emperor's flagship (TV: Bad Wolf) where they became part of the growing Dalek army. (TV: The Parting of the Ways) Housemates couldn't escape as the house had a deadlock seal since Big Brother 504 when all the housemates walked out.

In the centuries prior to the game station era, contestants had to be voted out by the audience. By 200,100, this was no longer the case.

In the last known edition of Big Brother, the Ninth Doctor appeared on the show for a short time, and was lined up for disintegration after damaging a camera. However, after the disintegrator failed, he escaped with fellow contestant Lynda Moss. Other contestants in the same house included Strood, Crosbie and Linda (who had been evicted for damaging the house prior to the Doctor's arrival). (TV: Bad Wolf)
