This one seems to have passed me by so far; strange as it's such a fine example of how fast and how far television quality control has fallen.
Some time ago, in the TV series, Jonathan Creek there was a brief gag where Creek's boss, a minor celebrity magician, was appearing in a reality TV show where he and the other celebrities had to live in a sty, with pigs, as pigs. It was a satire on the idea of celebrity reality shows and was, presumably, the dumbest idea that the writer could come up with.
So imagine my surprise to discover that "My Life As An Animal" was commissioned as a real program. There are clearly no ideas so stupid, so ridiculous, so downright crass that they won't get commissioned by some channel or other.
Personally I want to see some of these ideas (end of the clip). Can't wait for the Monkey Tennis.
