Flatmates

This 'docu-soap' put six 20-somethings into a rented house for three months — including a live-in cameraman and a beauty contestant. Flatmates was among a group of 1990s reality shows observing home life which became a phenomenon thanks to Big Brother. Without a lockdown or 24-7 surveillance, Flatmates' charms are more quaint, offering a homespun twist on MTV's pioneering The Real World (1992 - 2017). Flatmates screened on now defunct channel TV4. It made a minor celebrity of outspoken flattie Vanessa. A second season, More Flatmates, saw cameraman Craig Wright joining a new group, this time for nine months.
