[TV] ITV You're Back In The Room

[Official Old Man]

Saturday 8:20 and on ITV Player now. Funniest thing I have ever seen, ever. Tears rolling down my face. Had to watch the balloon bit over and over as it was hilarious. Do yourself a favour and catch it now.

Looked totally staged to me, the participants looked like they were acting. I turned it off

Opened the OP link, saw the words Phillip Schofield, closed the OP link.

How much did they pay you?

Ah that's it ....

Well it can be the only logical explanation for this post.
Well spotted.
It is a pony of a programme.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

ITV1 ?? Does anybody actually watch anything on that ?

 

[El Presidente]

It's a set up, as per this snippet from Popbitch

"I was on a train a couple of
months ago sitting opposite a
glamour model type [who was]
bitching about this other girl
who got a part in a TV programme
when she didn't. The part for
which she auditioned, I
overheard, involved having
to pretend to be hypnotised.

"I didn't think anything of it
at the time and then I saw the
trailer for the hilarious new
Philip Schofield fronted show,
in which 'contestants' are
supposedly hypnotised..."

It was a little odd that someone who was told to turn into James Brown, did a mighty good impression of him. The hypnotist would have to know the person could do it before he asked him to. I wouldn't doubt that there could be some hypnotism involved, but we wouldn't know who is pretending unless skewers were forced through the skin of their arms

Sort of thing people like Paul McKenna were doing in front of live audiences 20+ years ago.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

But I saw Phil on the One Show in the week and he clearly said that if it was staged he would not have hosted the show so thats good enough for me.
Mind you I also believed Yvette Fielding when she said Derek Acora was a genuine medium on Most Haunted.

 

[MissGull]

Thought it was awful....ten minutes and I could take no more....

 

[T soprano]

The biggest load of shit I've ever seen, tv scrapping the lowest depths of any barrel
Was actually gonna start a thread along the lines of CAN SATURDAY NIGHT TV GET ANY WORSE
But couldn't be arsed

 

[T soprano]

Turned off after 15 mins, surprised I lasted that long
Utter utter utter utter utter BOLLOXs

 

[Spicy]

Thought it was rubbish.

How old are you.... 10??

 

[Official Old Man]

Oh have I got you lot wrong. OK so I'm passed my prime and I do know these sort of hypnotizing progs are old hat, but honestly just laughed all the way through. Must be my sense of humour.

Not really mate, just a load of miserable gits

It was shite though

 

[vegster]

Saw a small part of the prog and at first felt sorry for the participants as it looked like everyone was laughing at them and they did not get the gag. Thought they were being exploited at first then I just thought what a load of tosh.

However, this is the sort of thing that weekend telly has descended to, It makes Ant & Dec's Saturday Takeaway look erudite.
