A true 'take the piss' mockumentary. You didn't know whether it was for real or if they were just sending up their own personas.<br /><br />A combination of both I think, but hats off to them, it was very good. And I now see them in a whole new light (which was probably the whole aim of the show in the first place).<br /><br />Not sure if you can see it in the States, but link is here:<br />http://www.channel4.com/programmes/trinny-susannah-from-boom-to-bust/episode-guide/series-1/episode-1<br /><br />LCM xLondon City (mum)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13700717302832203631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-20437209052331207662010-10-01T13:47:04.316+01:002010-10-01T13:47:04.316+01:00Reality TV has basically become a freak show, hasn...Reality TV has basically become a freak show, hasn't it. And it all seems so staged; there's really nothing 'real' about it at all. Most of it is just boring and in the lowest possible taste.<br /><br />(Although I have to admit to being weirdly fascinated by the two episodes I've seen of the Real Housewives of DC.

I'd rather watch a sit com about real people like Rosanne, than I would watch the real people. Reality is dull, you're right. And depressing. Sitcom writers know where to put in a few laughs. At least there's still the Simpsons...Michellouihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841678308675092702noreply@blogger.com
