Caritas, a charity in Zaragoza, Spain, has turned down around £3,000 offered by
a Big Brother-type TV show. The charity states that it was not informed in advance
and did not want to condone the programme’s “voyeurism.” Read Spain charity turns

UK charities were not so troubled. Childline, Centrepoint and Focus E5 shared the
proceeds from last months’ auction of the set of the UK Big Brother TV series. “
Nasty Nick” Bateman’s bed went for £2,000, and comic Alan Davies paid £30,000.01
for a chair.
