I sincerely wish that someone would tell the idiot tv people to use a bit more imagination.
Today there was another "secret life of" on tv, obviously they've grown tired of "big fat"
Allow me to explain, last year there was a programme on tv, it was called "the secret life of" something or other, anyway it was about I think, a wild animal, and what it does.
Now that was fair enough, it was a wild animal, not usually seen and it's habits, while not well known were to be honest, rather interesting.
However since then the producers have gone nuts, we've had,1), the secret life of 7 year olds, 2) the secret life of 4 year olds, 3) the secret life of babies, 4) the secret life of cats, 5) the secret life of dogs, 6) the secret life of gypsy kids, and on and on!
Now apart from cat's, assuming you throw it out at night, and therefore have no idea what it gets up to,how the hell can anything else have a "secret life"?
A baby eats and sleeps,apart from sleeping it spends it's time in close proximity to an adult, so how does it have a "secret life"? Same with all the other children's versions, imagine you pop into your 4 year old's bedroom at 1 am to check it's ok, and to your horror discover it isn't there, about an hour later the front door opens, it staggers in, blind roaring drunk, covered in vomit and chips, "oh sorry dad, just nipped down the pub for a few beers, didn't realise you were still up". Or you discover that your 7 year old is running an illicit drug smuggling operation from the privacy of it's bedroom. Even the gypsy kids, it's no "secret" what they'll be up to, learning how to nick stuff, or intimidate people, hardly a secret is it?
Talk about a lack of imagination when coming up with a title for a tv programme, mind you it's a bit like the "big fat" series, we had everything, "big fat", except for the one they should have made, "big fat greedy sods who watch Jeremy Kyle and stuff fast food down their necks"
Apart from the obvious, i.e any form of big brother, what programme's wind you up?
