Treasurers shouldn’t watch Big Brother. I try to follow that ACT membership rule but still I’m addicted whenever it’s on. For those treasurers who behave like true professionals and don’t have the first idea about what I’m talking about, I should first explain the nature of Big Brother. Every so often on Channel 4, a group of young people are brought together in the Big Brother house. They all wear concealed microphones and there are lots of CCTV cameras dotted round the house to capture their every waking and sleeping moment. Every week, the housemates nominate two people for eviction and we, the viewers, vote for one out of those two to leave the house on the Friday evening.
