Well.....I actually was one of the 12 featured on the show - you may have noticed me if you managed to stay awake during it - I was the guy who eventually went up in the helicopter .....

I have to say, that I thought the show was the biggest pile of old rubbish I have ever seen in my life. I spent alot of time making the programme for Mentorn (the production company on behalf of the BBC who made it) and I didn't even get an on screen credit! They virtually cut me out completely and featured on the more "loud mouth" type characters.

I was extremely angry at this. You would not believe the amount of filming that was done for this - especially when they (Mentorn) spent days at my home, filming me and my wife and little boy only to show virtually nothing at all of it.

I know it's kind of a case of sour grapes as I wasn't featured (despite the fact most of the other 12 were) but even if I was featured, I have to say the show was tedious and painful to try and watch. I nearly turned it over to watch the Bill - and remember - this comes from someone involved in the making of it.

Complete and utter tosh.

Did anyone else think this? Perhaps that's why very unsually the BBC never ever trailed it !

My only excitment came when they used my voice over the EastEnders closing credits !!!!!!!!!!!

What did others think of the actual show itself? I would be interested to know...

I am a LEADER.

Katherine - according to the graph, leaders are the least comment personality types, not Masterminds. So there!

I found out this from the test I did on Metropol a while ago, anyway.

Leaders enjoy discussing complex issues and will challenge people’s views to spark a debate. They admire people who defend their beliefs by arguing persuasively.

In situations where they can’t use their talents or are unappreciated, Leaders may become detached, critical or aggressive. Under extreme stress, Leaders may feel isolated and doubt their abilities.

Leaders are often so ambitious in their careers that they sacrifice their personal life in the process.

Hi Paul, Andy here, another of the 12, I was shown a bit more but I have to agree with Paul, that for all the effort we went oto filming this programme and the time we spent doing it our reward was complete and utter tosh. At least I know I can speak about a T-Bag for 15 minutes. I have to admit I found it a bit boring and tedious and would have probably turned over if it hadn't had people on it I knew. Apparently the Audience started at 6 million and dropped to just over 4 by the end. We were promised publicity galore, none of which occurred.

Sour Grapes? Probably

Hi Andy

Paul here... didn't expect to hear from anyone via this website - but good to hear that you agree with me...

Everyone I got to watch this (and I mean EVERYONE) thought it was absolutely awful. The critics hated it. I hated it - well, perhaps that's a tad harsh - I disliked it...

Anyway, so pleased it wasn't just me feeling disappointed and let down by this show.

Anyone else see this? What did others think?

(PS - Good to hear from you Andy)

Paul
