Could be expensive if they clock its a fake on day one


I think I'll take the Corfield stance on this one - it's sick, and
it's dangerous.

Oh, yes. Apparently the subjects were chosen for their "suggestibility"; how fucked-up are they going to be when they find out what really happened?

Damon Alban was on the Jonathon Ross show a week or 2 back, and he
said he thought the whole reality TV think was very unhealthy - he got
a round of applause from the studio audience.

I'm not surprised. I've never been interested in any of it, up to now; but this seems to be taking it to a completely different level. I guess I'm just curious to see if they can *really* fool people into thinking they're in low orbit.

I also find it unbelievable that a US TV channel is considering buying a second series - will people fall for the same trick twice?

I can't believe I'm considering watching a reality TV show. 

Neither can I

Kill yourself now.

Or I'll come and kill you.

I wouldn't bother IIWY; I suspect I'll get bored of the whole thing pretty quickly.
