The Only Way is Essex

This is on ITV2 today at 22:00. Using the theory that live episodes of things that are not normally live makes said thing 25% more interesting, this should be ok. I will be watching anyway.

Oh, hope they screw it up.

Does this show really warrant a live show? It's crap.

Apparently it's dreadful. The reaction on Twitter isn't positive. Sounds like the timing isn't as slick as it was on EastEnders or Corrie, and apparently you can hear the director cue them for some scenes, or something.

It's f***king awful! There's basically no content, because the show is already scripted!!!!

I don't know, an extra 25% of 0 is still 0.

Thanks for the heads up. No interest in Towie and not seen more of a few minutes of it, but as you say live always makes things more interesting.

Well, that was exciting. I don't think I will be watching any non-live episodes though.

sarasm? or not sarcasm?

The Guardian called this the worst thing on television ever.
