Hole in the Wall

I came across this by accident a couple of weekends ago and really do wonder if this is the best way for the BBC to spend their licence money.

The premise is simple - six half baked individuals stand around in shiny suits, waiting for a polystyrene wall to come at them with one or a number of vaguely 'human' shapes cut into it. The poor sap creaming off the licence cash and trying to stay in the public eye then has to contort to the shape to enable the wall to pass over him/her/it to avoid being dragged into the water.

That's it. There is nothing more.

Now as a child of the '80s, I am very familiar with the truly mediocre output that passed for 'entertainment' during those long Saturday nights before I could nip out for a raspberry tizer. Just hearing the words 'come on down' can set off palpitations even now, but this? Strike a light, even the brain dead will find they can die all over again watching it.

Why can't we just have DW doing 'In it to win it' every week. They've ever scrapped the lottery game show. Shame on you BBC. We're not all philistines you know, give us something to chew on.
