Crap TV - How do they get this on air
Now I am no fan of Big Bother or any of the cheap-to-make-run-out-of-decent-ideas shows but this takes the biscuit - have a look at ch 208 on now a programme called 'Subservient Chicken' I wonder why the title caught my eye 
The show is some knobber sat around in a chicken suit on a settee whilst punters can text or call in (at a cost) and the chicken will do (as the strap line says) anything you ask.
Have some thoughts on this although perhaps not suitable before 21:00hrs.
I admire the producer for managing to get this on the air, I bet they could sell snow to Eskimos, but it is just dross.
A new low for daytime TV.

Interesting, I wonder if Burger King knows about this?
BK in the US had a marketing campaign called Subservient Chicken, there is/was a website (you can work out the address) where you would type in your request and the chicken dude would perform it.

Scrubs is very under rated. Also think Green Wing is worth watching.Sorry totally off-topic (someone RTM this to a mod!
)
