I didn't realise that this was not a new show, but after viewing it last night, I am surprised it made it after the first series.

Utter rubbish, what do others think?

I remember years ago the peerless Clive James' tv shows, where he introduced us to the Japanese game show Endurance.

The casual sadism and dreadful treatment of contestants was put down to the bottomless gulf in cultural differences between us and the Japanese viewers, as we were routinely horrified as people were subjected to horrible 'games' and 'tests' for the endless amusement of the famous 'screaming front man'.

We simply could not imagine that this sort of thing was served up as television entertainment, and we marvelled at how different we quaint thoughtful humane Brits were, when measured against the sadistic, hard, cold unfeeling Japanese.

Fast forward - and here we are viewing the same garbage, it's 'zenith' is missing the famous Screaming Front Man - instead we have And and Dec, and it's called I'm A Celebrity.

We get the TV we deserve, because if we watch it, they'll make it, and if we stopped, so would they.
