it must’ve been 1994 that they made a fly on the wall documentary about a student house in manchester. years before big brother came along. i remember when it was because i was just leaving manchester uni as that crowd of pseudo celebrities arrived. mainly i remember not having a telly and not knowing or caring what the fuss was all about.

now they’re doing a webcam student house at durham uni. free accomodation and free beer are on offer.
