Big Brother was an Earth television show that was broadcast in 200,100 on the Game Station. Everyone on Earth was a potential contestant. The transmat beam picked them at random. It was non-stop, with sixty Big Brother houses running all at once and the losers were seemingly disintegrated, but were instead taken to the Dalek Emperor's flagship (TV: Bad Wolf) where they became part of the growing Dalek army. (TV: The Parting of the Ways) Housemates couldn't escape as the house had a deadlock seal since Big Brother 504 when all the housemates walked out. The Ninth Doctor appeared on the show for a short time and escaped with fellow contestant Lynda Moss. Other contestants in the same house included Strood, Crosbie and Linda. (TV: Bad Wolf)
