Sport Relief/Only Fools on Horses

Found this today about the BBC:

that would have been beyond fabulous

This starts on Friday 7th July and then runs nightly at 9pm

This actually leads to a 3 way reality war at 9pm on Monday 10th July, with Big Brother and Love Island

So because it's 'for charity' this is acceptable?

Only Fools on Horses is in the same vein as Strictly Come Dancing, Strictly Dance Fever and to some extent Stars In Their Eyes.

I do not consider these to be reality series. Yes they may show some behind the scenes - but so did The Gladiators, You Bet, Don't Try This At Home, etc... They are more like gameshows who appeal to the viewer to vote for them to get through to the next round. Hey, it even more akin to The Eurovsion Song Contest!!!!!!

Reality is about real people and/or celebrities, being followed around by camera's all the time for the simple event of pleasure to the viewer in non-real situations (i.e. Big Brother House - how real is that situation? or the Jungle in I'm a Celebrity - could that situation ever happen in real life?) - yet they have tried to make them more like gameshows - but they are not they are 95% reality and only 5%gameshow-type. These shows are here for a cheap thrill and for the so-called contestants to try to become more of a celebrity.

Programmes like Airline, Police Camera Action, Jimmy's etc... to me are more like real documentaries showing what happens in real situations - nothing like Reality series.

I can imagine the voiceover already: "You have been evicted. Please leave the Big Brother Horse..."

... or words to that effect ...

If you thought Patrick Kielty and Kelly Brook were a poor presenting duo, you haven't seen Angus Deighton and Kirsty Gallagher

Angus's sarcastic tone fell flat and the programme itself had bad technical standards

After the programme there was the obligtory recap of all the phone numbers, but instead of a slide showing these numbers being onscreen, instead there was a blank screen, followed by a generic slide and then the two presenters back invision. The presenters also got the numbers all mixed up so expect about 10p to be raised for Sport Relief between now and tommorow!

Probably another RedBee cockup

Nope, all the programme's own work.

I dipped in and out, between watching tapes of 2W stuff from earlier in the week.

Have to say that I whenever I caught a bit, I thought Angus' tone seemed to match the terrible technical standards perfectly.

As for the woman, she simply proved that can't keep up with a profesional like Angus.

The end bit? Well, I think the numbers started 09 and ended with two digits, but what the 'eck went in the middle is anyone's guess.

Red Bee don't seem to be able to cope with live stuff any more, do they?

Ah, take back SOME of my words about Red Bee then.

Who DID make it then? Seeing as Jonathan Ross seemed to appear instead of an endcap.

(While I'm on. Enjoying the Mortimer's Law repeats. Any chance of any new ones?)

There was an endcap, and then the phone number rundown, which is why I thought the numbers bit was a presentation item.

It was endemol who made it.

They ran the endcap and the presenters were then supposed to read out the 'phone numbers over graphics, but there was black for 15" instead of the graphics (plus added "Temporary Fault" caption on BBC One Wales..!).

The gallery then cut to a graphic of the programme title, before putting the presenters back in vision. They had finished (13" late) when Red Bee took them off air.



VERY unlikely I'm afraid. Apparently a community was divided this week.
