Re: The masked dancer

Can anyone name me a worse prime time show in the last 20 years?

Probably gogglebox, which also happens to win TV awards ?
People watching TV in their lounges and commenting while they are being filmed.
Aimed at watchers with an IQ of a cabbage

Re: The masked dancer

I have never seen it but watched someone describing it (was it on BBC Breakfast TV?) which ensured that I certainly never will watch it.

I can't comment as I had the good sense not to watch crap like this.
It's made for lonely women with nothing better to do.

It’s a fair reflection of where we are as a society IMO.

The Public gets what The Public wants and all that...

Exactly. The worst part is that it WAS a good idea. They are making money.

Re: The masked dancer

They should really shake it up, unmask the dancer and it’s Rose West or someone like that, imagine the gasps if Bin Laden or Jimmy Saville were unmasked

Mrs Brown's Boys.

Is the winner, has there ever been anything worse than this?

Re: The masked dancer

Not primetime, but
Escape to the Country - People want to move (or maybe just want to be on tv) but are too lazy to house-hunt for themselves,
Home under the hammer - Proprty speculators taking advantage of other peoples hard times (may are reposesed houses under auction)
Bargai n Hunt - why is this shite still given airtime?

Because they are relatively cheap to make. The best part about Homes under the Hammer is the music.

You've hit a raw nerve with me there!

Any of those programmes that 'help' people find a house I find degrading.

I have NEVER seen one of those programmes where I though "ah, they seem a lovely family".

What kind of sickos expose their finances, kids and personal tastes to a TV audience - there is something very wrong and disturbing about these kind of people.

I saw one episode where the guy said "yeah Barnsley is changing, there are a lot of immigrants and the town has changed so now, because I made a bit of money on my business, is the right time to retire abroad. But we would still want to be a part of a British expat community"... how that got through the BBC edit is beyond me.

So people coming to live in Barnsley are immigrants while he thought he was an 'expat'. What a prick.

I get great delight in telling 'expats' in Uganda that they are migrants and seeing them squirm.
