theherd123 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Ive just got in and turned the TV on - BBC1. Oh my life i have never seen anything like this. A large polystyrene wall with a human shape cut into it moves towards a player and they have to create the shape so the wall moves passed them. If they fail to make the shape they get knocked into a pool of water. Is this what Saturday night entertainment has come to?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Yes indeed! My DSs absolutely love it, I suppose it's slapstick type comedy and they enjoy that. Personally I can take or leave it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Terrible isn't it? my brother just put it on to show me how bad it is as I had not seen it before, I thought he had turned over to Dave or Challenge or somesuch obscure channel. I had to be told three times it was BBC1 and I made him put it back on to prove it I know its for charidee but come on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Don't get me started on wasting my license fee.

Thank goodness for BBC2 - Gardeners World last night Top Gear tomorrow anyone??? At the moment James and I are watching "The building of the Queen Mary" for the umpteenth time on Discover - peppered with him saying - "we saw that, I remember that" every 2 seconds!

bronze Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Ds1&2 love it here too. In fact I get told off if we're out and I don't record it for ds1. Which means I dont think its a waste of tax paers money as I would much rather he watch that than Tracy Beaker or other such trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutrix Farmers Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Think it appeals to children as Son loves it. Slapstick humour I suppose! Harmless fun, no swearing or violence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
