I spoke to bes today from the wife swap program. channel 4 phoned them today to tell them that 4 million people tuned into last nights show, it is the most they have ever had. They have had nothing but great reviews from all walks of life over the show and they are really pleased with how it came accross. I managed to only make 2 seconds of film on the wife swap program which i was really pleased with but i was on the aftermath far too much lol. Serves me right for sitting behind Jay.

Destroying peoples stuff? That is seriously messed up. You’d think the Americans would have come up with that one.

1st – You were right Dan, I am left handed.
You are right about the TV stuff, most of it is a lot of rubbish especially the cost of the licence nowadays, although I have to admit to liking the odd cookery programe myself. LOL.
Glad I didn’t see that show about the greenhouse, it sounds really cruel. poor guy probably worked hard to get himself the damn greenhouse only to have it knocked down by some stupid TV show…
Wife swap was a pretty good show last night, its better when its like that and they actually do take some of the experience on board rather then when they flounce off in a huff because they don’t like what the other wife has to say or whatever. That other family….what was that all about with all the cleaning, kids cleaning too! OCD me thinks?
I liked it that the biker lady (oops can’t remember her name) got the other family’s kids in college – 2 years out of school at that age can’t be a good thing surely!
They all seemed to be pretty friendly with each other in the end though.

Well Dan, that explains why I like BBC America so much! Of course, if you were here in America, then you’d be subjected to the Kirstie Alley “Jenny Craig” commercials where she brags about having lost 50 pounds, whick is like a 5-year-old! and then runs around in a ball gown trying to catch said 5-year-old. Of course, I don’t have to pay for that either.
Thanks for your trip to my site.

Absolutely rotten to the core are these kinds of programs. I am proud to say I have never watched one of them, not ever.

That’s interesting, I’ve just looked at the BBC America web site (http://www.bbcamerica.com/) and noticed that two of the shows features (NY_LON and Footballers Wives) were originally shown on commercial television channels over here….

I believe we get BBC television on our cable service, although, I think that it may be Americanized…
Michele sent me.
