Big Brother pulled out a great task last night - it was impossible not to snigger at the housemates screaming their heads off at everything from teddy bears to non-existent bumps in the night. And it was such a good one that it got us thinking about some of our other favourite challenges across Big Brother history.

We've left out Celebrity Big Brother, but below we picked just some of our favourite ever tasks. It turned out to be quite a tough ask to narrow it down, given how many there have been over the years. Read on to see what we picked, and let us know what you loved in the comments...

1. Boogie Nights (Big Brother 2)

We loved the old style tasks which lasted a few days - including overnight. And this early task from Big Brother 2 was a great example of that. It was simple enough,...

Poor old Marlon Wallen. The Big Brother housemate had already made himself a pariah after saving himself from eviction last week - then last night, the humiliation just got worse as he was the subject of a surprise eviction. Perhaps it wouldn't have been so bad if he wasn't booted out of the bungalow in just his pants (luckily, a dressing gown was on hand before his interview).

But Marlon's hardly the first housemate to be kicked out in surprising circumstances - so we thought we'd look back at just some of the best shocks, twists and surprises surrounding evictions gone by. This isn't a list of the best evictions ever (hello, Grace Adams-Short!) but rather the Big Brother cheekiness that left the contestants reeling...

Lynne Moncrieff (Big Brother 3)

Was this possibly one of the first ever eviction twists? It was nowhere near as shocking as some of the later goodbyes,...

"Open it." Those two words on their own are so innocent. Bland, even. But we will never be able to hear them again and not feel a little bit nauseous - thanks, Big Brother couple Steven and Kimberly. We don't want to go into it too much on a family website, but the duo got into some heated 'under-duvet' action on last night's show, prompting Steven to whisper those two words and the internet to explode.

But it's not the only filthy moment we've seen on Big Brother - we'd give it four stars for effort. Below, we round up just some of the most "don't watch it with your mum" moments we've been 'treated' to over the years on the non-celebrity series...

Tom gets an erection - Big Brother 1

Poor Tom. The first series of Big Brother saw a bunch of the housemates getting in the nuddy, covering themselves...

We’ve been waiting all day and at 9.55pm this evening, this year’s first full length Big Brother promo aired on Channel 5.

It was like a who’s who of famous Bb faces from years gone by and we had quite a lot of fun spotting and naming some of our favourite (and also most annoying) housemates.

We have compiled most of them in a list below, though we know there are some names missing, so feel free to leave a comment below if you can identify any more.

The video starts out with Makosi on the phone and leads into various cast members dancing and miming to an adaptation of David Guetta’s popular dance track – When Love Takes Over renamed When Bruv Takes Over and at the end, as all the Bb stars gathered in what looked like a massive field, Marcus Bentley exclaimed:

‘It’s back...
