The Bubble

Anyone been watching this?
I think it has been very funny so far. No series catch up, which is a shame as the first episode was really funny, but episode 2 is here BBC iPlayer - The Bubble: Episode 2 and episode 3 here BBC iPlayer - The Bubble: Episode 3

I quite like it, although the woman 'contestants' have been pretty awful so far. (That's not sexist that's facts)

I agree. The Geordie bird on the last one does my head in.

I think it's very good. David Mitchell is very good.

Basically 3 people are put in a house for a week without any communication with the outside world.
They are given news storys and have guess witch ones are true and which ones are fake.

I was looking forward to this but have somehow only managed to catch one episode so far and I wasn't as impressed as I might have been.

I think the problem was that the news stories they were reporting weren't really stories I'd heard as they were generally inconsequential small fry stuff so even if you hadn't been locked away from the real world for four days you'd likely have no idea unless you were a media researcher for Have I Got News For You or something.

I just wonder what they'd do if during the contestants' exile a massive natural disaster like the Haiti earthquake broke. Would they mix that story in with two similarly catastrophic but faked loss of human life tales?

I do like David Mitchell however, he's a very personable character and it's nice to see that outside of Peep Show he more than holds his own as a TV personality

I can't get into it- not funny or interesting enough.
