Default Has the BBC given Homer Simpson free reign in the programme planning department?

Who else could have come up with this..?

Hole in the Wall
New series. Dale Winton hosts this entertainment show in which celebrities, under team captains Darren Gough and Anton Du Beke, try to force themselves through holes of differing shapes and sizes to win £10,000 for the charity of their choice

Seriously - wtf???

There's an insane Japanese program where they do this.

There's a wall that comes down a track and the contestants have to assume a shape that will be allowed through the gap. If you fail you get pushed into the pool behind

I don't doubt someone will bring up a youtube clip of it.

Utter garbage, shoddy thrid rate TV, the BBC shoiuld be ashamed.

Still at least it brings the TV licence tax into line with how our other taxes are spent.

Oh and as for Winton, will someone please rid our TV screens of him once and for all.

I saw this whilst waiting for Strictly to start. What a pile of utter garbage! I was going to start a thread about it myself but then I realised that you lot would then have know that I watched it

I don't care if it's for charity, it's dire and whoever commissioned it should be ashamed of themsleves

I worked on that show it was filmed about a month ago, we had to build a floor about 6ft high so they could put a small pool in the middle of it.

it was lucky someone did get electrocuted aswell as when we was taking the show out the lights the under the celeb's seating area was dripping water for about 10 minutes are we took them off the stage.

Tonight I am working on come dancing you wont believe what state some of that set is in.

They have this in the US/Canada, but with teams of members of the public. Its actually extremely funny when they get wiped out into the water, but I think the novelty will wear off pretty quickly.
