Celebrity Big Brother 2001 (UK)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Celebrity Big Brother 1 was the first series of Celebrity Big Brother UK. In aid of Comic Relief six celebrities entered the Big Brother 1 house for eight days, from March 9 to March 16, 2001. As Comic Relief is shown by the BBC, this was a rare collaboration between two rival television networks. While Channel 4 aired daily highlight shows, BBC One also aired 10-minute updates, as well as the final, which was part of the Red Nose Day telethon.

[edit] Notes

• The series is remembered for comedian Jack Dee's escape from the house - he evaded security for an hour before returning ("I got all the way to Stratford") - and Vanessa Feltz angrily scrawling words on the dining table, apparently feeling the pressure of constant surveillance.
• It was reported in tabloid paper The Sun, that Anthea Turner cooked Magic Mushrooms in the kitchen, but that is denied by her.
