Phew.

Though I'm sure New Media graduates from the University of the North Circular Road will be working hard to replace it with something of equal quality.

And I thought I was the only one who hated the program? People sitting in their houses watching people on TV, Sitting in a house watching TV?

Totally underwhelmed by my complete indifference. I could not miss catching the odd headline in the newspapers about it, but did not read further about it. Saw the odd bit on the TV news about something going on on TV which appeared purile

So I never watched it. A social experiment someone claims today. At least my licence fee does not go towards it.

That's good news.

BUT the production company will possibly sell it to another channel, it's only C4 that doesn't want it.

AANDYY · 26-08-2009, 07:15 PM

Well I like it! so, nerrrrrrr

wallingd · 26-08-2009, 07:36 PM

I suspect it will end up on some obscure digital channel.

anyway, i watched a couple of the series in the past - it had its day about 3 years ago now i reckon.
