Celebrity, historical, fictional Big Brother...
So after due consideration over lunch at Benugo the other day, here is our fully worked-through and comprehensive list of our ideal celebrity / historical / fictional Big Brother:
- Germaine Greer
- Jessica Rabbit
- Gizmo
- Marcel Marceau
- Princess Peach
- Captain Nemo
- Alien
- Miss Marple
- Lara Croft
- HAL 9000
I'm particularly keen on the idea of having HAL 9000 - a disembodied omnipresent computer intelligence - in the Big Brother house. Ho hum.

Please stay on-topic, informative and polite. I reserve the right to remove comments for whatever vague capricious reasons seem reasonable at the time.
George Orwell would be an interesting inclusion.

Hm. In which case also David Bowie? I mean he did a song called "Big Brother"? And Annie Lennox for "1984"?

How about ED 209? He'd keep the other housemates in line, that's for sure.

I've been nursing the opinion for some time that the voice of Big Brother should be the voice of HAL, or at least a good impression thereof. Particularly if they ever get a contestant named "Dave".
