I like I am a celeb, come dancing and dancing on ice?

Me to . . . . although I'm a Celeb was ruined for me last season by that hideous Lady Obnoxious creature.


The nearest I'm coming to a reality show currently is watching ' The Supervet '  . . . . that man and the surgeries he performs are nothing short of miraculous!


Love him, his team and all the animal lives they transform.

If you took Lady C out this year, it would have been yawn, yawn and yawn. She stirred the pot nicely. IMHO

  I rarely watch any TV...too busy doing other pleasures

Dunno if its classed as reality TV but I enjoy the 10000BC thing on channel 5.
Hedged there bets this year with 2 teams and multiple camps.

One thing you can be sure of, they'll repeat most of the garbage (repeatedly?) via Dave, Yesterday and Quest. Is that all the repeaters?

Whats BBC3 aimed at. Something to do with younger folk. I noticed one (Don't tell the Bride..repeat) of them yesterday get great delight from saying....he farted. I suppose BBC3 going online only shortly is some relief...from on air exhaust like that.

Then there's the solid wall to wall crap on BBC Radio 4 and the World Service. I'll stop here I think.

I've only just caught this series . . . . other than the killing animals aspect, I've found it very interesting seeing how the personalities and tribes have developed.

It's certainly made me appreciate the comforts I take for granted!

When a certain Australian man got his mits on our airwaves back in the eighties we all said that UK tv would go the same way as it did in the states, just hundreds of channels of repeated crap. Even the documentary channels have nothing much apart from reality programes. I mean, how many programmes can you make about catching crabs, or digging up specs of gold etc etc. Its just boring.

I watched it last year when they only had 1 tribe and camp.
IIRC there was only about 4 of them left at the end and was pretty grim when it started snowing with a week to go.

I can well imagine! It's pretty hard core as it is now . . . . . not for me that much is certain.
