    A Simple Concept But So Entertaining

    So basically, things you want to know but were afraid to ask on account of being rude or inappropriate. Such a simple premise for a program but done so well it is always interesting.

    The two things that always impress me about this show, and I've watched all seasons up to 2022 are: 1. The humanity of the interviewees. It's not always the case (there are definitely some angry individuals amongst them) but most people show an open mindedness and understanding towards the sort of people who might marginalise or persecute them which is so humbling. It always gives me faith that it's possible to break down barriers if only more of us could accept our differences.

    2. The editing is AMAZING. The way the answers are spliced together makes the show so watchable. A real credit to the people who made this.

    I have recommended this programme to people more than any other I can think of.

    What this world needs more of

    This show gives me hope for an increasing divisive world. Littered with insightful and genuine moments, answers lots questions that have passed through my mind while also shining a spotlight on my own preconceptions.

    Giving human and intimate insights into real lives

    No matter the particular subject of each episode, I find myself responding in a similar way to this show and its brave stars. Each episode a particular 'minority' is allowed, and courageous enough, to reveal sometimes very personal aspects of their lives to the audience. I always learn something I didn't know, often feel a tear for how people are treated by others and always get a laugh. The world could do with more of the understanding that this show engenders.

    re masochism

    well i am fairly average and watched these shows when i was cornered ..no sport of interest left unseen , no new news , and open to witness deviations that would confirm my opinions and head off for an early night ..but instead was left in awe of courage at least , and stuff not harmful to others .. feeling i have much to understand but happier for the experience , thanks

    Unique television

    Hell, it's a unique life experience watching each episode. Let's face it - we've all looked at a minority and have had a question that's just too impolite to ask. Does a dwarf shop in the kids clothing section? Do prostitutes have a normal sex life outside work? What's it like for a soldier to witness a mate die in his arms? What's it like to live to be 100? How do you accept a diagnosis that you're terminally ill? Why do people with Down's Syndrome like to hug so much? The format is extremely simple. Sit the subject on a stool in front of a plain white background and hand them cards with the questions. They read the question and answer it. It then cuts to another person answering the same question - because different people have different responses. By the end of the episode you feel you know and understand each person, their struggles and successes. The white background means you concentrate on the person and their answers. There's no studio audience, no backing track and no interviewer - just the answers. Ordinary people with extraordinary courage answering the questions with frankness, honesty and humour. You'll never look at a minority the same way again.
