Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway

Blakeborough

7 seasons?? I thought I'd heard them wrong, but Wikipedia reliably(!) informs me that this is true. Blimey, it only seems like yesterday that Ant was getting paint in his eyes.
I have to say though, despite the terribly cliched and campy humour, Saturday Night Takeaway doesn't really offend me. At least Ant and Dec, miniture people that they are, don't. What offends me, and I don't even need to watch all of today's new offering to have it reiterated for me, is the British public.
Now the first game, as far as I could tell, was for a Mother to reveal the truth behind lots of lies that she's been telling to her family. Her daughter didn't really seem too upset to find out that her hamster had not died naturally but had been victim to the hoover, rather her extremely pissed-off expression seemed to be the result of finding out that she had failed to win a foot-spa.

Yes. A foot-spa. A bowl of water that makes bubbles around your feet, goes cold in 5 minutes, and causes power surges (in my experience at least). I think I might have preferred a speed boat, but whatever.

[Update] just as I was about to post, the mother won a holiday to Florida. I believe for two. Her daughter did not look impressed. Also, Will Ferrell whoring himself to British tea time telly? Shocker.
