I haven't seen this yet, so not sure if it's worth a look or not

I went in a mine once.... it was dark and scary..... full of weirdos

When do I get my soapbox, I need to rant on about some b***cks

I started to watch the program but quickly lost interest, a couple of loud mouthed celeb types....no thanks, a shame they couldn't make a proper program about these kinds of projects maybe from those that are directly invovled and not the usual me me me I'm a presenter gobby types.

Having said that the projects got some coverage so maybe that will attract more interest from the public.

But for me that type of program ain't nothing new.

Lozz.

Celebrities = crap.
The only point of celebrities is to publicise themselves, anything they come into contact with will be tarnished and its worth reduced as the life-blood is sucked out to infuse the celebrities. Thats how modern Britain works, its all a bubble waiting to burst. (You think the 2008 recession was bad ? Wait for this pretend bubble to burst)

if eight out of ten cats all prefer Whiskas
Do the other two prefer Lesley Judd ?
