I haven't watched this program, but is any of it live? Or has the entire series been pre-recorded? If it is pre-recorded they might do a Simply the Best and play it in the afternoon.


Its recorded, and so will probably go out in the early afternoon. They only show repeats of Midsomer murders then anyway.

Whilst there a couple of the match's that are similar to what is done in pro wrestling, and apart from 3 wrestlers being on it, it has nothing to do with wrestling. Smacking people with sticks and trying to walk across a ramp to pull your opponent off is the type of stuff that Gladiators did.

I have been watching the Sunday repeat purely cause of D'Lo and Roddy Piper. Speaking of which why in the blue hell was it put on itv1 for the Sunday morning repeat this week. itv2 is where this belongs.

I seriously hope itv pull this mid series or indeed do as has been suggested and move to Sat Afteroon.

The entire series was recorded in late March and early April at Elstree Film and TV studios.

I keep telling you it's the same people popping up again and again on these celeb shows. Well I just saw Flava Flav on The Farm!! How the mighty have fallen. Rolling Eyes The thinG is he appeared on some reality show on VH1 and now here he is in the UK and I've just seen Lucy from Dallas!! To go from the biggest show in the world to some little watched programme on Channel 5 is just too sad for words.

Its the most cringeable Reality TV show I've seen in a long while (The Farm)! Who the hell is Flava Flav anyway? I should think Keith Harris and Orville's career is finally finished after this! Laughing Jessie Wallace's boyfriend? Whos next? the old lady who lives down Justin's street.... Rolling Eyes

Flava Flav used to be a rapper in the 80's with Public Enemy. And I remember there was a story in The Sun where they rang celebs up with a spoof reality show and asked if they'd do it, Keith Harris said yes so it's no surprise he's appearing on drivel like this!! I think it was Celeb Nudist Camp and he said that he'd bring Orvile on without a nappy! Good heavens!!

Oh goody, cant wait to see those films again, shown only 5 months ago at Christmas and no doubt edited to bits! Think Ill stay with Dr Who. Wasnt there a time when films appeared once every couple of years, now it seems a Bond or Star Wars is on every few months! Mind you, the BBC are also guilty of this - how many times has Sliding Doors been shown!
