A Big Brother Series Cut Short
A little-known Big Brother series that was abruptly halted during filming was never aired, leaving it as a hidden piece of reality TV history. The original series, which recently returned to television on ITV after a five-year hiatus, has a forgotten season that never saw the light of day.
The Birth of Big Brother
First launched in 2000 on Channel 4 with Davina McCall as its host, Big Brother quickly became a nationwide phenomenon. The show's popularity led to the creation of a teen version, known as Teen Big Brother, which aired shortly after the fourth regular series of Big Brother.
An Unseen Second Season
The initial Teen Big Brother edition featured a group of adolescent housemates and lasted for just five episodes, with 18-year-old Paul Brennan emerging as the winner. However, Paul, who tragically passed away at the age of 37, revealed during an interview that a second season was being produced but was abruptly cancelled.
Mystery Surrounding the Cancellation
Details concerning the reason for the cancellation remain unknown. Paul, who spoke about it on the Please Do Not Swear podcast, stated that the production was abandoned midway through filming, with other 18-year-old contestants also residing in the house. The decision to terminate the show was likely motivated by issues involving the contestants or simply because it wasn't working.
Controversial Debut
The first Teen Big Brother season made history by featuring the first-ever sexual act between two housemates on air. This sparked controversy at the time, with some viewers accusing Channel 4 of exploiting teenagers.
The Legacy of Big Brother
While Teen Big Brother had a short-lived run, the regular Big Brother series continued on Channel 4 until its cancellation in 2010. However, it was later revived by Channel 5 in 2011, with former winner Brian Dowling as the presenter before Emma Willis took over. Unfortunately, Big Brother was ultimately dropped from schedules in 2018 due to declining ratings.
Revelation by the Winner
The winner of Teen Big Brother, Paul Brennan, shed light on the cancelled second season. He disclosed that production was stopped midway through filming for undisclosed reasons, leaving viewers without the chance to witness the second edition.
