Surprise ! Surprise !

[Baron Pepperpot]

I hate it because it's engineered emotional TV that exploits peoples hopes and dreams for viewer ratings...


... and it makes me cry

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

the only surprise for me is that people watch this shite

 

[Wellesley]

You tart. Usually I manage to keep my macho facade intact by holding back the tears, but tonight seeing those brothers brought together was too much.

Why? It's great to see families brought together isn't it, or is there something wrong with that?

It was quite special, that.

 

[El Presidente]

is there something wrong with that?

Nothing wrong with that, but it would be better if they were brought together for the right reasons, rather than as a means of ITV being able to charge more for their slots on a Sunday night to advertisers.

Vacuous manipulative drivel masquerading as light entertainment, and further proof, not that it is needed, that this once great nation has become a legion of bedwetters since the death of Diana turned the whole country into sniffling babies.

as someone that has been re united with a family member i'll say no, nothing wrong at all. If BBC wanted to televise it though i'd turn them down on the grounds that no one else really gives a toss.

Typical NSC cynicism.

and that

Typical NSC cynicism.

Why do you think the program exists?

Totally agree

No, couldn't disagree more. It's good that people show their feelings more nowadays.

 

[Wellesley]

Why do you think the program exists?

I am not naive enough to not know why it exists, but to me the ends more than justifies the means. Anything that can bring joy to people is a good thing in my eyes. If it's not for you, fair enough, don't watch it.

 

[hitony]

Like any program, if you like it watch, if you don't like it, don't watch it, simples really! and it's hardly like there are not any other channels to watch!!

That's a fair comment, it's probably not aimed at me, so each to their own. And indeed, I won't be watching.

If we all were like that we'd we wearing lederhosen and eating sausages for breakfast, Fritz.

no one can argue with that

Wanna bet! this is NSC

 

[joeinbrighton]

It's never been the same since Bob Carolgees left to become the manager of West Ham.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

no, Wellesley's right. There's been one too many bad news threads on here today so I thank the big man the only thing on my/our minds is something so trivial

Absolutely this - if ITV were doing for the good of those concerned then perhaps they could leave the cameras behind next time.
