This week Channel Four are asking viewers to vote on several issues relating to Reality TV. There are three very brief 5 minutes slots at 7:55pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday where we will be asked to vote on the following topics:
Tuesday: ‘Is Reality TV fake?’
Wednesday: ‘Is Reality TV too tame?’
Thursday: ‘Is Reality TV a boring rip-off?’
On Friday evening at 7:30pm there will be a live studio debate with a specialist panel and an invited audience.
I have been invited to be in the audience
The main aim of this debate seems to be how real Reality TV is and whether or not it is un-necessarily censored. When the researcher phoned me up today, she was asking my views on the long silences on E4 and about the supposed antics of PJ & Jade and what was or was not shown. However, she was also asking my opinions on BB3 generally this year, what I thought of the bars and what the general feeling amongst the fan-base was. Did we like it this year etc..
Hopefully this will be an opportunity to air some views, not only on censorship issues, but on the whole series generally.
It’s on just before BB on Friday so tune in and see what is said, you never know you might even see me giving my two-pennyworth.
