Big Brother 1 (UK)

Big Brother 2000, also referred to as Big Brother 1, was the first series of the British reality television show Big Brother. The show is based on an originally Dutch TV series of the same name created by producer John de Mol in 1997. The series premiered on 18 July 2000, and lasted for a total of 64 days. It concluded on 15 September 2000.

The series revolved around a group of strangers living in a custom built house with no contact with the outside world. Each week, the housemates are required to nominate two people for eviction. The two or more people with the most votes were nominated to leave the House. The viewers then decided which of the nominees should leave, with the selected person leaving during a live show. This process continued until only three housemates remained, at which time the public voted for which of them should win the £70,000 prize.

The winner of this season was Claire Wilde.

This season was followed by Season 2.
