Coming home from the pub or a night out, sitting on the sofa and just watching people in a house at any time of day or night - looking back, a tad weird but as you say - iconic at the time!Big Brother is up there with the Millennium Dome as a turn of the millennium icon.
I remember how hyped everyone was at its uniqueness.
I never got into it much though. Just a bunch of normies bumming around all day.
