Space Cadets

Anyone else looking forward to this? On one hand I feel it's slightly cruel and more scraping of the barrel as it comes down to simply making fun of someone's suggestibility - on the other hand it will be interesting to see how some people will believe anything if the conditions are right.

Been waiting for it to start, gonna love the reactions when they find out its a hoax.
With them all believing in ALiens and are all very suggestible, it should make for an entertaining program

I knew nothing about it apart from the trailers until I read an item in the paper this morning. I thought it was going to be a comedy in the vein of Red Dwarf!

I don't know what to make of it now, I have grown more and more ambivalent towards the whole genre of Reality TV, but at least with something like Big Brother, you know that the people getting humiliated are the authors of their own downfall.

I am far from certain about the morality of doing this to people who have not courted publicity or TV stardom. If someone goes on Big Brother and is then tarred for the next five years as 'that self-important moron from that show' then that's their own fault. But what of these unwitting 'contestants'? None of them will have asked for it if they get labelled 'that stupid mug who didn't realise he was in the middle of a big TV stunt'.

Besides, Rome is on BBC2 at the same time and I'll be watching that. It's been rather good.

Isn't this the one where they thought they'd blown it right at the start? One of the 'contestants' (or whatever they are) apparently opened the blind on the plane they were travelling in, just as they were going over Canary Wharf? :D

Re: Space Cadets
 

So I heard, I'd like to know how they explained that....:angel:

Re: Space Cadets
 

According to this the route has been planned to avoid anything like that happening.

Re: Space Cadets
 

i read it was to do with a window/blind near or on route to their 'training camp' opening to reveal white cliffs of dover. They were distracted by something else so didnt notice. Apparently some of the 'recruits' are plants/actors to go along with it.

Re: Space Cadets
 

looking forward to this, have it series linked already :)

Re: Space Cadets
 

i am looking forward to it as well as i would like to see how they hope to pull it all off ,

Re: Space Cadets
 

Well - the missus just asked me to add it to the sky+ list so I guess I'll watch the 1st episode and see what I think

Re: Space Cadets
 

Lots on tonight with Space Cadets, LOST, and Late night hollyoaks.

Re: Space Cadets
 

I really hope the Scottish guy with the ginger mega-afro doesn't make it.....

Re: Space Cadets
 

lol

Re: Space Cadets
 

The afro is in :(

Looks like we've also got a token camp bloke (an essential in reality tv) who seems to be a cross between Graham Norton and Herr Lipp from League of Gentlemen....
