Much of TV is jammed up and artifice abounds. Even Dragon's Den. Someone I know was asked to increase the money they were seeking and the feedback from the Dragons was heavily edited for maximum effect whilst making the 'pitcher' a bit stupid. And don't even start me on 'nodding donkey' shots. As for the so-called reality programmes they are sheer pleb fodder.
