Grrr. Stupid Reality-TV.

They never had a decent one in the first place.
The BBC have trumped them twice with The Murder Game and Spy Game which were both amazingly intelligent uses of the 'reality tv' format.

Fair enough, each to his own as they say
Television is really heading down a steep decline and has been for the last few years.
Top quality television soon became the reality tv tosh that the Yanks so kindly doted upon us.
Cast your minds back a year (perhaps two - I forget) and you may well remember a programme called Survivor. Survivor has an excellent little programme that was composed of challenges and an interesting location
Perfect for the Brits first foray into reality tv. Freeze it, hang it up, there you go - perfect. But wait, that was a nice little earner wasn't it ? What if we didn't have to stop it ? Yeah, let's run it 24-7 and show every aspect of their lives ! *Hi-fives all round*
And so Big Brother was born, then came Hells Kitchen, I'm A Celebrity, Love Island ...
Programmes about things like airlines and hotels have been around for years, but they're are not 'reality tv' as it has become nowadays
*Shudders*
