To be fair, Channel 4 have a tendency towards shows that push the boundaries (and I mean in good ways, not just "When Quadriplegics Attack!"), so I'll wait to see how the programme is handled. It'll be on fairly late, I'd imagine.

Still though, I can't imagine my reaction is going to improve from "Ewwwwwwwwwwwww".

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

HOW exactly did you find this report, anyway? Did you go to a search engine and type 'really awful things on British television' or something?

Also a source of much amusement (and thus linkage) in the dirty, icky, incestual world of weblogs, which are all awful, universally. All of them.

This one especially. DO NOT CLICK!

Doesn't look as bad as that 'Wife Swap' thing on last night. Absolutely terrible. The reviewer in Private Eye called one of the couples Mr and Mrs Blobby, which was disturbingly accurate.
