Big Brother

Nine hundred and seventy five episodes of the main show, and the only argument is whether a spin-off called Unlocked is one of them. Three episodes a week, every summer, since 2000.

Where to start with Big Brother

Pick a season and watch it end to end. There is no continuing story between seasons and nothing carries over except the occasional returning player, so starting at season one is a choice rather than a requirement, and a strange one given it is seventy episodes of a format the show abandoned immediately.

  1. 1
    Season 8 Big Brother

    A common recommendation as a first season: the format has settled, the cast is remembered, and it is thirty three episodes rather than seventy.

  2. 2
    Season 25 Big Brother

    Forty two episodes, the longest of the modern run, if you want the current shape of the show at full length.

  3. 3
    Season 28 Big Brother

    Airing now. Thirty four episodes through 16 September and a finale scheduled for 1 October, so it is still moving.

  4. 4
    Celebrity Big Brother, season 1 Celebrity Big Brother

    Thirteen episodes and a separate thing entirely. Shorter, and a fair way to try the format without committing to a summer.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
