The One with Mischa Barton…
Big Brother 7 featured such faces as Sam, Jennie and Dawn, and it also starred the memorable Nikki and the sexual Canadian terrorist Richard. These two were parodied by Alan Carr, as he immersed himself in a bulging muscle suit and cap to play Richard, while Justin Lee Collins donned a blonde wig and smeared his face with mascara to take the Mick out of Nikki. Just as the pair were wondering how Big Brother could possibly get more of shit stirrer in the house than ghetto beauty Aisleyne, along comes the bizarre sight of Mischa Barton dressed as Cristiano Ronaldo giving us a sly wink. But the question is: Will Cristiano Ronaldo be the biggest winker at Euro 2008?
The One with Davina McCall…
Big Brother got so popular last year that there was talk it was going to be made into a Hollywood blockbuster. Ok, so all the talk was emanating from the Friday Night Project, but still, their pitch was pretty interesting. Justin Lee Collins would play Angelina Jolie playing Davina McCall (“Big Brother House, this is Angelina. Swear as much as you fucking like, you’re in the movies now”), Alan Carr would play Naomi Campbell playing Charlie (“I’m not being funny, right”) and Davina McCall would play Britney Spears playing Chanelle. Confused? You should be!
The One with David Gest…
The only two things we remember of Big Brother 2007 contestant Jonty is 1) his odd name and 2) the Friday Night Project Hannibal Lecter impersonation of him. As you’d expect of Channel 4 Comedy, we’ve now done our research and have discovered that ol’ Jonty-pants is a museum visitor assistant. Ok, that’s probably not the most hilarious trivia you’ve ever heard, but the sight of David Gest (playing Davina) introducing Alan Carr dressing as a cannibal Jonty lusting after Justin Lee Collins’ Carol was pretty damn hilarious.
The One with Rupert Everett…
The FNP guys didn’t particularly like Big Brother 2006’s Susie much and we have to agree with their expert judgement – “most boring housemate ever”! Rupert Everett had the pleasure of dressing up as Davina and interviewing Susie, but she didn’t say much though. Well, she was played by a mannequin.
The One with Justin Hawkins…
Does anyone actually remember the Justin Hawkins? He was once the goofy front man of stadium rock wannabes The Darkness. Anyways, he was put together with Jayne, Big Brother's flatulence queen, in an ace sketch set in Tony Blair’s office that involved Justin Hawkins looking like a very convincing woman. It goes without saying, it was pretty scary stuff.
The One with Pete Bennett…
Big Brother contestants aren’t just mimicked on FNP, oh no, occasionally they get to appear alongside Alan and Justin in the studio. Take Big Brother 2007 winner Pete Bennett for instance, when he was on the show the boys adorned him in the Coat of Cash and left him to be ravaged by a money crazed audience before they had him dressed as a big gold question mark for no particular reason. This was very funny indeed...
