Every time I come across Naked Attraction whilst flicking through the channels I still wonder how it got on tv. It's not the nudity, it's the idea of lining people up to have their body parts rated like cattle, why would anyone subject themselves or another person to it? Do they tell their families & work colleagues when they're going to be on it?- 'I saw your b**s on tv last night'.
It's hilarious when some of the people on it claim they're there because they want to find a partner whilst they judge the people in front of them on the size & shape of their privates. They attempt to legitimise it by having little bits of scientific info inbetween comments like 'are you a breast man?' & 'she's got a nice neat ******'.
They only get away with it because it's presented by Anna Richardson as if she's a judge on 'The Great British Bake Off', were it hosted by Noel Edmonds it would all seem very different. You begin to see where Mary Whitehouse was coming from when you watch shows like this.

That has properly cracked me up. Especially when heard in the voice of Arthur! You are right. What does it matter and why does anyone need to know outside of the people you actually have anything to do with? And why do they make that programme, Naked Attraction? Its all supposed to be private. What next, Match of the Day with commentary on what the couple got up to. I don't mean Gary Lineker and Ian Wright by the way. Not Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer then?

I must have missed this on TV. (Luckily)
Thanks for the heads up Arthur. It will be avoided.
The last (horrifying) thing I accidentally saw on TV was some gameshow on Channel 5 that featured contestants and Keith Cheguin running about naked. It traumatised me.
Thank god they didn't do that on the "Golden Shot" - brings a whole new meaning to 'Bernie the Bolt' please.

We once went for a walk along the sea wall. Directly opposite are big Victorian terraced houses with large windows. We glanced over at one of said houses and someone has positioned a crazily large TV directly opposite so we could see the tv very clearly and they were watching Naked Attraction Quite the unwanted shock Why would you watch it, and if you did ... knowing how visible your tv is to the outside world ... cringeworthy!

How did the programme design meeting go? "Hey lads, look at the size of this! Lets make a show about them!"

The programme makers went straight to the bottom with this show

Don't fancy watching someone's flat backside in HD on a 50" screen.
On the subject of large tv sets, my brother in law has just bought a 65" tv ( he gave me the cardboard box it came in ) but the room it's going in is not very big so not sure how that'll work, maybe they'll watch it outside through the window. I bought a 40" one for my bedroom, I had to swap it for another just a couple of inches smaller as it was just too big. I don't think people appreciate the size of the things until they get them home.
When you think how small tv's were not so long ago, you wonder how big they'll be in 20 years time.

The pitch for this idea must have been much more entertaining than the show itself. Just imagine, a couple of suited TV execs sat round a table looking for that next hit; then someone pipes up with this....

Another show that gets up my bugle is 'The Real Marigold Hotel'. Patronising & contrived, it sends older famous faces off to India on the premise that they might fall in love with the place & live there. Cue yoga & sitar lessons & visits to the Taj Mahal. Every series is exactly the same, just with different celebs. 'Pilgrimage The Road To Santiago' is doubtless made by the same people as it's more or less the same format. That's all tv has seemed to be about in the last 20 years, formats.
TV of the past wasn't so formulaic, they allowed people to be creative & take risks. Now you seem to know exactly what's coming even before you've watched it or you only need watch 1 episode because the remaining episodes will be no different.
