Club Reps was brilliant! 😂 I think I saw Maz in Manchester definitely in the last few years. I recognised her voice and it took me ages to remember where I recognised her from!
I loved Paddington Green although I only watched for the two girls at Sylvia Young Theatre school! 🙈

I liked Paddington Green too and watched for the same reason as you. I looked up Lia Saville ages ago and it doesn’t look like her career ever took off but I’ve seen Dominique on many tv shows over the years

OMG Paddington Green!! I remember that there was a transexual prostitute who played the piano and an elderly guy who made God awful wigs.
 
If anyone is having a hard day, make yourself a strong brew, put your feet up and pop this classic - or should I say golden oldie - on 😆

TURKISH TOYBOYS


I know the video is rubbish quality but the subject is so hilarious, it’s worth it. Terry and Debbie are top shaggers and LEGENDS 🤣

This was one of a three parter from channel 4 back in 2008 called Man Hunters about women who go on holiday and (directly or indirectly) pay men for sex. Another episode featured a lovely little old lady who went to the Dominican Republic and had a long term arrangement with a hotel entertainer who was memorably called Spaghetti 🤣

I used to love Brat Camp! Also, World’s Strictest Parents.

Does anyone remember a show on E4 called Switched?

Also MADE on MTV, Date my Mom, Next, Room Raiders.

There was also a show called Living in the Edge which was a UK version of shows like The Hills before Made in Chelsea and Only way is Essex took off.

I was obsessed with MTV Made! It seems the participants have been allowed to self publish their episodes as a lot have turned up on Youtube.

If you remember Danielle who was sent to “fat camp” as it was known then, she took her own life a couple of years ago, so her sister has uploaded it in her memory. I think she had struggles with addiction.

Dov, who became a “white rapper”, is an architect in NY now, I believe. His father wrote the song Funkytown which has since become an internet meme because a Mexican cartel played it as they tortured a man…the video of the torture went viral. Awful to have the legacy of your song tarnished by something like that 😕

Just watched Danielle's episode on your recommendation! She seemed such a lovely girl! Her sister said she had an opiate problem after a botched gastric band surgery. I assumed it was an accidental overdose? 😥
 
I liked The Osbournes - I've got the entire box set on DVD somewhere.
Also early Jackass (does that count?) was good, in my opinion the later seasons just seemed that they were doing anything for shock value and less feeling like daft lads doing daft stuff and having fun.
I also watched Viva La Bam, but I wasn't comfortable with the increasingly brattish behaviour.

And the original Big Brother, I remember when that launched, it was crazy, the concept of it felt so weird, but I also remember that on occasions if I couldn't sleep, I'd turn on Big Brother, and they would be asleep, but I just kept it on anyway because it seemed like company.
I still think of the "I Like Blinkin', I do", from Helen, and when she was overjoyed that her Gucci shoes had little "G"'s on them.

The first series of BB was great, remember how none of them even had any idea if people were watching and they played music to drown out the noise of the crowds outside? Also nasty nick and his lies were great 🤣
 
Driving School is on the BBC iPlayer. Proper old school reality madness. Maureen is just hilarious, bless her, what makes it funnier is that her husband works as a bus driver but he just goes mental when he tries to tutor her 😂
