Big Brother comes from an idea in the book 1984 by George Orwell. Its about a future government that can see everything the general population are doing. It's also why we say "Big Brother is watching".

Big Brother was based on George Orwell's 1949 novel,1984. Orwell warns of the terrifying dangers that man may create for himself in his quest for a utopian society. It warns that people might believe that everyone must become slaves to the government in order to have an orderly society, but at the expense of the freedom of the people. It birthed the saying "Big Brother is watching you".
Big Brother is a popular reality television format, where, over 15 weeks or so, a number of contestants (typically 12) try to avoid periodic publicly-voted evictions from a communal house and hence win a cash prize. The Big Brother show, a kind of 'real life soap', was invented by John de Mol of the Netherlands and developed by his production company, Endemol.

The basic concept obviously came from George Orwell´s "1984"; where the "State" Big Brother was always watching.It was virtually against the law to have a private life (It came from Orwell´s disillusionment with Communism as did another of his works "Animal Farm")

The first TV show in the Big Brother format was aired in Holland about a year before it hit the UK. I think Endemol (owned by Sir Bob Geldof) created it.
The title comes from the Orwell book 1984.
