00:00What do you think about reality TV these days? Do you think there's too much of it?

00:04Do you have a favourite show, do you have a show that you've not watched?

00:06I've never watched it mate. Literally never watched it from the start.

00:10It took me years to even watch The Office. I just hate that sort of embarrassment culture thing, you know.

00:17I mean I know The Office was a sitcom but it was based on the first reality shows

00:23and I just couldn't watch them and then Love Island and that, I've just never watched.

00:29I think they're fairly overdone but you can choose not to watch them. I don't tend to

00:33watch a lot of reality TV. I do really love Strictly Come Dancing. It's had a bit of

00:36controversy this year but I'm looking forward to it coming back.

00:39I don't keep up with any current ones but I do love trashy reality TV. Reality TV is a bit like,

00:47especially early 2000s, it's mental how people were put in these situations

00:52and it still is today. Some of them are awful but they're juicy to watch.
