I had a feeling it would come back after they did “Big Brother the best shows ever” a couple years ago. I hope ITV brings it back to the original big brother.
The fact they actually put "Let the mind games begin" in the titles of the final series shown here, shows how much the producers had lost sight of the original concept.
@@tourzrap Yeah partly but it was also mainly about the social experiment aspect of it and how theyre always being watched which is why the other intros have alot of shots of cameras and eyes.
There is something simple and timeless about this theme that they were able to use it for the entire shows duration. Unlike the US version where they try new things and it eventually becomes dated and doesn’t age well.
The theme music was remixed slightly in 2004, and then that version stayed until the end of the show in 2018. This coincided with the name of the show being removed from the title sequences. As I recall there were discussions to change the music towards the end of the show’s life on Channel 5, but it never actually happened.
@@wembleyparkstudios7926 can you find any clean versions of the different themes? I’ve always seen there’s a difference in themes but I can never hear too much of a difference other than the fact it becomes more subdued in BB6 onwards
@@jaystev I’ve quickly stuck this together: th-cam.com/video/bexQJ3KTBHo/w-d-xo.html The differences are very subtle, mainly in the melody being down in the mix, the bass higher and more electronic FX in the latter 2004-2018 mix. My assumption is that the theme was made less Trance, and more television friendly.
@@wembleyparkstudios7926 Thank you so much! I’ve never heard the original mix without vocals before until now. The original is so intense, and so energetic. Feels like it fell a bit flat from Big Brother 5 onwards. Thank you so much for the video!
The vibe of the first ten Channel 4 years were so good. You felt when the titles kicked in for the live feed that you weren't watching a TV show as such, instead the station was just cutting to weirdly sinister, engaging shots of...people on a set...for a few hours. Even with the twists, controversy, obvious editing for building narrative etc it still felt like the purest expression of reality TV. When they started taking them in and out of the house, adding music over it, nameplates etc that was all destroyed. Hopefully ITV's relaunch brings it back to basics, but I doubt it.
This theme song was so recognisable that when big brother came on even my visiting aunt from another country shouted from the next room “turn that disgusting show off” 😂. This was like in 2007 or 2008 😂
1:24 BB 2005 will always be my favourite intro as a 20 year old who never got to experience the channel 4 or much of channel 5 big brother! it’s so creepy and it’s just amazingly well made, gives me shivers everytime!!
It was great when it was just regular people in there for a laugh. The occasional oddball in later series were fine too, but then it went full love island direction with absolute wannabes there for fame and it went down the drain.
Couldn't agree more. I always hoped if they brought it back they would go back to ordinary everyday (and occasionally eccentric) people, but as it's been bought by celeb-obsessed ITV2, my hopes aren't high. I'm sure it's gonna be filled with instagram influencers and "famous" people nobody has heard of.
I agree used to enjoy it as a teenager but after maybe 7-8 of them it started to go bad watched a later one and it wasn't good. Loved the Kim Woodburn one though lol. Like you say the fact it's coming back on itv 2 isn't good as that channel just plays crap basically.
I'm very surprised to find how Element Four theme feel's stil alive after 23 years, and more perplex to find how people at UK made this phenomena going on, while other editions (like the one at Mexico, where I live) became so lame just after 3 years (and even worse when the contestans were the celebrities).
The only opening i remember is the first one oddly enough since it was 24 years ago but the final eye in the first big brother (1999) intro is the housemate Tom's eye i believe.
Big brother on Channel 4 was it at its best with great Housemate's! Housemate's were mostly a bunch of towie wannabes when it went over t c5. Hopefully itv take it back to its roots.
We are all hoping that BBUK 2023 will not be a glitzy excuse for people to get 10 seconds of instant fame like love island, and just regular people having a good time with other regular people (Edit: I was right, I think.)

There just aren’t enough deep trance TV themes out there. This and the intro to BBC News. True bangers of our time

It’s a bit crass, yes. But wasn’t it always a game?
Yes but it did get to the point as the seasons went on housemates knew what was going on

Now we are in 2023 we can really appreciate the Y2K-ness of this show in all its frutiger aero glory
you’re so right there’s something so appealing about how super of it’s time but still cool the first few intros look

My parents HATED that I'd stay up late just to watch Big Brother, they gave up around 2010 since I would just ignore them and watch it

@fae4652 Can't wait either Big Brother is always watching 👁
2004 one is brilliant. Haunting with the staring eye all the way through.
The 2005-2006 ones are the series I grew up on.
BB5 was the best opening. Simple yet classic.
Am glad it's coming back can not wait
Big Brother 9 titles where fire, loved the shattered eye
Thank you!
1:24 BB 2005 will always be my favourite intro as a 20 year old who never got to experience the channel 4 or much of channel 5 big brother! it’s so creepy and it’s just amazingly well made, gives me shivers everytime!!
Is nice to see how Big Brother has Changed over The Years
Damn, I’ve always loved the intro to this. And Ooft, the bass increase over the years 😂 I should not have been watching this when I did too 🤣.
Daaaamn season 19's was so good
Show of the 21st century all these intros I like me living in maidstone from 2000-2018.
ULIMATE BIG BROTHER was my fav... im 35 i remember them all! gosd i feel old
Iconic TV theme song 🔥
I feel like this should be an episode of black mirror
what a classic
shame its gone and now we are left with shitty love island
I really miss watching this on Channel 4
Exactly
@@LawNerdSoph my mum wouldn’t even allow me to watch this when I was younger I was too young lol
Both shows were absolute garbage.

It’s coming back 2023 can’t wait.
It’s back next year oi oi ❤️
Looks like the last series I watched was 7 as I don't recognise the rest
To me the best intro is a mix of BB6 leading it with a bit of the BB1 and BB13
I literally can't remember anyone (without Googling) from 2010 / 2011 seasons?
The first 6 - remember almost everybody's names!
The 2005 version was used in doctor who bad wolf

they are thinking of returning to tv soon hopefully this year or next year if they can
Yep, revival of the show got announced last night after love island
You need the big brother intro from Doctor who as well 😂
Aye that was class 😂
big brother is coming back ye haw its gonna be shown on itv this time
The only opening i remember is the first one oddly enough since it was 24 years ago but the final eye in the first big brother (1999) intro is the housemate Tom's eye i believe.
I was always told it was Melanie's? I could be wrong though.
@jayrobinson7554 I think Tom one is for the trailer and mels is the intro
And 2023 Big Brother Came Back
Just realised: BB8 has a triangle in green, representing the Illuminati and the government.
Big Brother 7 was the best
That first eye was creepy
Nothing beats the Spanish version tune

Hope Emma Willis is hosting still
Big brother is different then serbia version

Everything about the channel 5 era was awful, although the last series was good, good housemates and like you said, good intro.
