Is there no end in sight to this reality TV programming, we used to have drama's and comedies and now all programming has turned to nosey gassing over the fence type stuff!

What is in it for the people who offer themselves up to being filmed, from what I have seen of these making it - cutting it - changing roles type programs they are edited to always make the man look like a total witless Pratt and the woman a common bungling idiot.

I am truly interested to what you are offering to those who take part?

Sorry for the rant, but I think things can be real without being on television.

I think I am the only person left in the country who has not been on televising now.

Fame and fortune, perhaps a new boat or even lifelong happiness!

Give us a bigger boat and some money and we'll do it for you.

(We'd need a bigger boat for the camera crew anyway)

Re: I\'m your man..

Your post has prompted me to (re)consider everything. I've therefore decided in the interests of original TV programming to buy a boat and sail off around the world a few times. I hope to return by Christmas time, natch. I assume you will be willing to provide me with a suitable boat, something 65ish foot, electric everything and kitted out for ocean sailing (i.e. large fridge, aircon, technical support team etc). I'd gladly help choose one in a TV-friendly colour if this would help. I appreciate you will not be very interested in everything going smoothly so I can assure you I am deeply accident prone and promise to drill a few holes in the hull every now and then, fall overboard, smash into pontoons etc - so you can get some decent ratings-winning footage. I also know of a bloke who is a bit of a special effects wiz and can organise all kinds of toilet type explosions, vomit inducing smells etc etc.

Better get a spare boat to keep the continuity boys happy, by the way.

Corse, its the human inter-relationships which are important in these things, so praps you could get hold of an axe murder type to act as crew. I would be willing to consider this, provided I could be given a gun to shoot him if he became threatening, or just a bit irritating. No programme should be without the frisson of a few beautiful girls, so throw a few of these in too for good measure. If the production will be shown on C4, then I'd rather if these are not transexuals, because that would just be a little confusing for me. Please get in touch. Doctor says I should be available in a couple of weeks, once the medicines have kicked in. Please send draft contracts to my Consultant, who is handling such matters for me at present

Could I suggest that anyone genuinly interested in finding out whats on offer contact Tiger Aspect by private message .

This will then avoid giving anything away to the grumpy bunch of farts who have allready let their (negative)feelings known.

Personally I enjoyed watching the last programme of this type about a family that set up a sailing school in the sun.It also prompted some interesting discussion on this website and probably countless yacht club bars.

Good point. Better add a self righteous one into the mix of crew for the series.

CRAP REALITY SCREENPLAY: \"Bollox To This\"

zef [in house with mrs zef, post dinner chat] yeah, well, i don't care what you think, it's gonna be great.

NARRATOR: this is zefender: he's planning to go around the world on a sailing boat. He's leaving behind his old life, a career of almost 20 years, and choosing a new life at sea. Because zefender has decided to say "Bollox To This" and start a new life sailing around the world.

mrs zef [tidying pots away] hm, well i'm not so sure dear
zef : oh, don't be like that!
------

zef[ in the boatyard, with riggy/fitter type] and we'll nneed this and this.. and that and this ...
fitter: yeah. hm, right...
NARRATOR: Zef's boat need a good deal of work before he leaves, and a significant amount of extra equipment. But it's all becoming expensive, very expensive. Very expensive indeed. He's already had to buy the boat, and now it needs ANOTHER 20,000 pounds spending on it.
----------
zef [back at home in the kitchen] yeah, well, yerknow, we'll sort it out somehow. We always do.

NARRATOR: zef is short of £20,000 and the boatyard won't relaunch his boat until he pays up. No £20,000, no boat, and no trip. It's becoming critical.
----------
mrs zef [alone, being busy somewhere else in the house] Yes, well, he's always had this thing about sailing away, so now his dream is coming true. Or should i say nightmare, haha [laughs and puts something in a cupboard]
NARRATOR[off camera] and you're happy about going too?
mrs z Oh yes, of course.
NARRATOR: really?
mrs z: well, yes, really. I think so anyway.
NARRATOR: You don't sound too sure?
mrs z: well, there a few things to sort out, but really it'll be fine. I think.
Narrator: and what about the money? That's a big worry i suppose?
mrs zef. It shouldnt be too bad really

-------

in the boatyard, again

Narrator: it's a month later, and zef's boat is finally ready. But there's still the question of the money -£20,000- that he'll have to pay before the boat is launched. If zefender doesn't pay the £20,000, then he wopn't be ghetting his boat back and in the extreme, the boatyard *could* even sell his boat to someone else - to recoup their money. It's a moment of truth.

zef [to boatyard boss] so it's all okay, yes?
boatyard boss: yep i think we're finally finsihed.

Narrator [off camera , to zef] So, what about the money?
Zef. Oh yes, i wrote him a cheque.
narrator: that easy, eh?
zef: oh yes, i already had the money anyway, and also i extended the house mortgage at a fixed 3% for 4 years, rented it out for £40grand a year which easily covers the mortgage and gives us extras income and what with house prices quadrupling in london every fortnight, i don't need to sell it either.

narrator: Oh, er, shit. I mean, er, well done, damnit, er Camera - can we re-do that bit?...

--ROLL CREDITS-------
{"taster" shots of next episode on slightly leany over boat in tradewind f4}

Narrator "How will mrs and Mrs Zef cope with the stresses and strains of life together at sea?

[in the cockpit]
Zef " oi, that's my seat!"
Mrs Zef "oh, alright i'll sit over here then"

Why not do a reality show on the twits that make these wretched shows? You could have some fantastic shots of them counting the money they make from getting mugs to phone in on premium rate numbers.

[Joe_Cole]

Ah well, each to his own.

Aren't you being just a little grumpy and negative about other peoples views?

Re: No, graham

You can suggest it graham, but the whole point of the forum is that anyone can says what they like, publicly too!

I admit that a good deal of this comes across as grumpy, but isn't really meant like that. It's just low humour.

Anyway, if you enjoyed the sailing prog, that's good, But others don't enioy the "reality" tv shows for a whole raft of reasons, and that's okay too. I mean, i expect there are some people who don't comb their hair nicely, don't wear slippers and don't even wear a vest , and they sometimes drink too much as well.

Whatever anyone elses view, grumpy or otherwsie - live and let live, surely?

all imho, of course.

Re: No, graham

The original post asked if anyone was doing it, not if you like the idea of a TV program about it. I suggest if your not interested in this type of TV then don't watch it. You have a gazillion other channels to watch. Grumpy lot /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif

Re: No, graham

I think these "reality" (ha ha ha) shows are absolute crap. But, I'm not GRUMPY, in fact I can CHEERFULLY say that they are about boring and tiresome people who are willing to demean themselves in order to be "famous"(ha ha ha) for a few weeks. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif/forums/images/icons/smile.gif/forums/images/icons/smile.gif
