What are you watching on TV? Page 1,847

Vacuous chicks dig vacuous jerks. We are not all like that!

I get that they chose to be on the programme too.

I just cannot understand the "oh well, he's completely ignored anything I might want, sent me the Bingo for my hen do whilst he goes to Vegas and is making me marry in an underground WWII bunker..but I love him. That's all that matters".

You may love him - but by planning a day to suit only himself, he has not demonstrated that he loves you.

But maybe my standards are a bit high...

It always annoys me that however terrible the wedding, however much he has COMPLETELY disregarded her feelings, or has arranged a shit wedding on a drizzly football field in front of thousands of strangers who are chanting at the bride about taking it up the arse, and saying their vows while some random bloke shouts unrelated crap over the speaker system (THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED) - the woman always says at the end 'Oh it was perfect, I couldn't have done any better'.
Whaaaaaat?!??
They always get away with it.

Maybe the show should introduce some 'pesky kids' into the format?

I'm currently (occasionally) being filmed for OBEM ('One Born Every Minute') and, despite knowing I'm on camera every shift (and often mike-ed up for 12 hours), I forget that I'm being watched - quite a lot, to be honest. Reality TV is not designed to flatter.

Oh noes, now I'm going to have to watch it! And it is scary.

So far I've conducted myself just as professionally as you'd imagine me to be.

I will just mute the screaming and avert my gaze from any ripping bodily orifices.

Personally I'm quite proud of myself. Since they started filming I've significantly cut down my rate of cracking paedo gags.

Har. Tell us when it's on, we need to see this.

Apparently it airs (for 20 weeks) from January 2014. Don't know how much I will be in it though. So far my biggest 'storyline' is getting all cross when the midwives ate my pizza whilst I was in theatre.

I also had a good moan in the staff coffee room (4 bloody cameras in there!) about female incontinence pads.

It's 'must see' telly, basically.

Clichéd title aside, there's no doubt we've all been waiting for a reality show about an obstetrics registrar who looks like John Noakes. If you can somehow get a sheep dog into your shift Tim you will buckeroo yourself into the crumpet-filled lap of reality TV stardom.

It's a yes from me.

Way ahead of you, GT. I've recently bought a Border Collie whom I'm training to respond to the command 'Snatch!'.

Tim, if you can repeatedly say "rubber duck" throughout your 12 hour mic session, it will surely make the edit at some point and make me somewhat happy.

Sorry to be 'selfish', but, to go back to the writer-

Will Self. What a f**kin' twat.

...and Gove but Self did it for me. If you're going on TV at least try to make it look like you're not on something.

...it is possible Self is 'on something'. He has a rare blood disorder, related to the bone marrow- polythaemia vera rubra- which I gather needs a lot of medication, radiotherapy and other, rather unpleasant treatments. Nasty.

The football one! That was awful. She was a really sweet, shy girl who just wanted something nice with her close friends and family. He gave her football. He knew she would feel uncomfortable (as I think anyone would in that environment ) and did it anyway.

If I ever get married (which is a fairly big if) my husband is going to do everything in his power to make me happy. He will put me first. All the time. And I shall do likewise.

Although if my short stint at online dating was anything to go by, paedo gags actually help your cause. I got twice as many messages when I included my Jimmy Saville joke on my profile.
