That was exactly my hope mate, even [Lord] David Puttnam, deputy chairman of channel four, when interviewed shortly after the race row on "celebrity" big brother, said he was
embarrassed to be associated with such down market television, and if it could be replaced with something else that generated equal income he would cancel it, obviously that hasn't happened. To me this awful drivel just glorifies this incessant desire for celebrity in our society, the no marks who will mindlessly run in to this meat-grinder when it starts will claim, "I'm only doing it for the experience, I mean if I get
famous through this it will be a bonus", then they will whine "I didn't know what I was letting myself in for". Then once they are out they will be pictured falling drunk out of some nightclub, and no doubt one or two of the girls will "accidentally" expose their boobs so as to get their picture in the Sun, Star or Mirror, phew.. what an ambition.
As you can probably tell Ive seen my fair share of this drivel, living in a house with my wife and two teenage daughters I dread it when this starts as all three of them seem to love it...god only knows why, all I can add is thank god for my fishing rod.
