Foucault defined government as the calculated direction of human conduct, the means by which behavior is shaped to various ends by the expertise in myriad agencies of the state. This article explores the theme of conduct by considering Big Brother as an experiment in governance. It is important to consider the new surveillance context in which documentaries take place. Of particular note is the way in which documentaries are seeing social issues as a means of getting to the personal and emotive. This new focus has also entailed a fascination with the psychological. Big Brother stimulated a number of debates concerning the rights and responsibilities of television producers to the subjects. It is also important to consider the ways in which the subjects of the program used the experience as an opportunity to develop their sense of self as performers and subjects in process.
