Big Brother 2002 (UK)
Big Brother 2002, also known as Big Brother 3, was the third series of the British reality television series Big Brother, in which a number of contestants live in an isolated house trying to avoid being evicted by the public with the aim of winning a large cash prize at the end of the run. The series launched on Channel 4 on 24 May 2002 and ended on 26 July 2002. The series was won by Kate Lawler. The live final drew 10 million viewers and votes in the final week totalled 8.6 million.
Big Brother 3 is often credited with the demise of Channel 4 soap Brookside, which had been moved around the schedules even prior to Big Brother 3, was shunted about a lot more than it had ever been before in order to accommodate Channel 4's new ratings winner, which averaged 5.8 million viewers in this series.
Alex and Adele entered the Big Brother 8 House in 2007 to participate in a task. No housemates from this series entered the 2010 Ultimate Big Brother, the final Big Brother series to be aired on Channel 4. However, a tribute was shown on the finale to honour Jade Goody.

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or brother:
“And everybody to the saddest
Laughed the loud laugh the big laugh at the little.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“In the moment when you make the least petition to God, though it be but a silent wish that he may approve you, or add one moment to your life,—do you not, in the very act, necessarily exclude all other beings from your thought? In that act, the soul stands alone with God, and Jesus is no more present to your mind than your brother or your child.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
