Hardly a subject for the Freeview forum. This should be moved to the 'Arms.

I believe this series was recorded before everything blew up in their face.
Still. They're advertising it as though they're best buddies, can you imagine how much they must hate them?

Having filmed it I guess they figured they may as well show it rather than toss it out as a total loss. It seems to be only three episodes anyway, so a useful filler.

Is anybody really interested?

Which planet are you on? 'Reality' (yeah, right) TV is probably bigger than the soaps these days, especially if they get 'celebrities' involved.
Narcissistic idiocy IMO, but people watch it - ironically as an escape from reality I suspect.

The equivalent of putting fingers in ears and going "la la la" then. We're doomed.

I like the use of quotes.
Often if I see a celebrity version of a quiz I ask myself "Who the *#@+ is that?" as each one is introduced. I could say the same about some of the quiz show hosts
Thanks, Private Frazer.

Being on my own much of the time, I have the TV on for background... but I draw the line above people apparently being utter prats (or pretending for the money). Somehow being a prat in a drama is more acceptable than being a prat in a 'reality' show.
Are we supposed to believe that Holden and Carr really did the work to renovate a villa?

I may be wrong as I don't track them, but it seems to me that, aside from University Challenge, every show that used to use members of the public now uses celebrities - real or alleged. I assume it's a sort of pay-your-mates scheme ... a bit like nepotism.
I suspect rather than nepotism it is about ratings, they assume every celeb has a fan base who will watch the show based on who is on it and would not if it was just Joe Public taking part.
Not me.
