This was on UK tv?

#1 Post by York Minster »

Ok, so, I'm a very liberal person and all. But I was surprised to learn this was on UK TV last year. It's the show Naked, in particular, the episode Estate Agents. At the end of the show, the women, who have apparently now become very self confident, thanks to the show, have to catwalk starkers in front of friends and family. Now, I know nudity is more usual on UK tv, and I'm aware there are some similar shows like How To Look Good Naked. But this just struck me as very odd. What are your opinions on something like this? I mean, if your son or daughter had a self esteem issue, and you were asked to view their naked catwalk for support of their new found confidence, would you have no issue with that?

"He couldn't have fell off that hard" Ain't no way
"What happened to the way you was rappin' when you was scandalous
That Canibus turned into a television evangelist"
Plus he raps with his regular voice [BOOSH! BOOSH!]

Oh once Piers Morgan has had his own show, what's a few more c***s?

I just love the fact we've packaged him off to our Stateside friends now, I believe he's now a judge on America's got talent (Oxymoron if ever there was, but anyway ...) :P :lol:

I dont mind Gok Wan's program, it can have quite useful tips at times. It's boosts peoples confidence and self-esteem which is a good thing. However, the catwalk bit seems a bit weird if they literally had nothing on in front of family and friends! Why would you do that?

We have a lot of rubbish on tv in general not just with these type of shows.
The problem is they've run out of ideas for decent programs and don't know what to make next.

that morgan dude seems really boorish whereas simon cowell and chef ramsey I think are really good TV and likeable.
