              Okay, the two judges are the most unpleasant things on telly ever... but with their loose flappy mouths and the fact they never really look at each other in the eye when they're talking, they remind me of two muppets (the puppets) having a conversation.

                        for months, so hardly even know the programmes. BUT 'Beauty and the Geek' series 1 was brilliant. The geek who came 2nd to last - think his name was Richard was such a character. He spent the whole series being really annoying to the other competitors, geeky, nerdy, quirky and awkward - but when he played piano he was an elegant bird. (a cliche I know, but true.

                        I love geeks anyway. They're usually fascinating people.

                        Including my own entry. No wonder I don't watch tv any more. By admitting to these aberrations of intelligence and lack of discrimination in our leisure time, are we doing group therapy? or something more darkly subversive?

                      • Kid Nation

                        Download the first series now. It was the best series of 2007.

                        It was a reality TV show, where they put 40 kids aged between 8-15, and dumped them in a disbanded town. The idea was for them to make this town succeed.

                        I started to watch it because of the uproar it caused before it aired. They claimed that kids were beating each other up, and drinking bleach and shit - but I didn't see any of that.

                        It was the unintentional humour which made it a must see:

                        "Who should we give the gold star to? They're both great candidates"
                        "That's true, I mean one of them could find a cure for cancer....."
                        "Yes....but the other one could invent teleportation"
                        "hmmmmmmm......"

                          for watching it.

                          I remember seeing in another program were Penny Smith tried singing. Will there ever be an end to the hidden talents of the GMTV babes?
