Flipside TV

This was a strange show, broadcast at stupidly late times on Channel 4 in the UK.

The premise was that you would watch others watching TV. Sounds rubbish? It wasn't. They used to flip through the most obscure of channels of satellite TV, bringing up how bad TV is at times.

A favourite of the show was the TV Channel 'Bravo', which often showcases such trashy TV as 'World's Wildest Police Videos' (god I love that show) and the like.

Most memorable for me was the appearance of Victor from that year's Big Brother. Despite hating Big Brother immensely myself, Victor actually made me watch that series. His one-liners and seeming disregard for other's feelings all made him a hilarious addition to the Flipside panel.

What I also remember vividly was how good the prizes were on the competitions, despite it being shown so late at night.

A joy for insomniacs and people who just take ages to get to sleep everywhere, I just hope this show returns. The nation must learn more of the worst TV about!
