The latest fashion on British TV is reality TV.

One of the first and most reality TV shows is big brother.

In the show, 50 complete strangers have to live together in a house for 11 weeks.

They are filmed 24 hours a day and shown on television.

Each week, the viewers vote to evict one of the housemates.

Finally, only one is left and they win the prize money, 50,000 pounds.

The show was an instant hit, and runs in several countries.

The housemates often become stars as a result of the show, and appear in national news papers and on other shows.
