Deadline.com has an interesting tidbit. So apparently the producers looked at the other versions for inspiration. But will the UK version get the VOICE of Big Brother like the Australia. From what Im reading the UK version will have a VOICE.  Also the house will have skylights in addtion to the Mezzanine level.

The team has also learned from the flood of international versions that have launched in the five-year interim period, according to Manley, who points to successful iterations in the likes of The Netherlands, Mexico and Australia, along with the evergreen Big Brother U.S. on CBS.

Initial was particularly inspired by the pre-recorded Australian version, which influenced the casting and voiceover on the upcoming Big Brother UK.

You can basically build anything (within reason) inside a studio space.
