Most Haunted Live on LivingTV last night. I thought they were going to take advantage of it being April 1st and pull off a wicked ghostly coup with Britain's leading spiritualist Medium (Derek Acorah) and some other psychics from LivingTV. But instead they spent 3 and a half hours walking in circles round an old hotel in London. In the dark and cold. Whislt nothing happened. Obviously the psychics are professionals and take their line of work seriously, but come on - April 1st - it's a perfect opportunity to play a fantastic trick and they blew it big willy stylee!

And I hate the bloke they rope in to present it. "Well, when I was little I saw a cloud and it looked like the figure of a man", "Fantastic proof there, I'm a believer, I hope you lot out there are now believers too in the face of all that compelling evidence". Was funny when he asked that woman if she'd been on the gin though. The bit when they regressed the old lady and she claimed to be Boudicea was just cringingly bad and made me pi55 myself. With laughter, of course.

The clip of the new series looks good - the medium was "possessed" by an angry ghost and it made him chase the crew around in the dark. It's an excellent show, but last night was a waste of 3+ hours of my life. Do you think I can sue LivingTV to get it back?

Somehow, I fail to take Derek seriously when he is screaming "They lopped her head off!" in his crazy scouser accent!

Derek Acorah has his own DVD. I think Play.com are selling it.

I didn't watch last nights episode, kind of glad I didn't after reading what you say.

I liked the one at Dudley castle. It was funny when the bloke with a really strong Black Country accent ran out of the crowd shouting 'Ar saw a ghost, I ay lyin' mate honest!" Classic.

Last night's was so boring, I turned over after 10 mins to watch Graham Norton.

I liked the one they done on the London Underground. Very good.

I myself believe in ghosts, and claim to have seen two of them. Once was when some guy stood next to my bed, looking at me. Second time was when an old lady leaned over me. I think the second was my late Grandma. On the day of her funeral, apparantly, my mum and my aunt saw her too.

Anyway, I do like Most Haunted, and although it was probably camera trickery or whatever, I remember one where they were in a big hotel and the woman was walking down the corridor. The door next to her creeked open, so she looked and all that, only for it to slam in her face. Nearly hit her too. Very funny, but very freaky too.

Nah, LivingTV's mre like those matinee films about housewifes getting jobs and fighting for their independance and stuff. After about 9 though it claims to be ParanormalLiving. But it's just cack.

LivingTV?
Come on man, for man's sake.

"Ooo, I like that Geraldo, he's tough with modern issues and his moustache makes me lusty"
Programmes about domestic issues, cookery, sewing and pets. You'll wake up to find yourself wanting to go to Habitat and buy place-mats if you're not careful.

Go watch Platoon or something.

The series is genuingly good and the couple of live shows before have been ok, but I was really hoping they'd take their heads out their rrrrses and do something funny for once!

Nevermind, Ghostwatch comes soon *strokes DVD player*
