Roger Mexico Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 1 hour ago, Andy Onchan said: Don't worry the PR people in the Cabinet Office are preparing an equally toe-curling and embarrassing response. That's a bit unfair. Cringe-making our local recidivists may be, but I suspect none of them could rise to level of a 'managed' Howard Quayle press conference. Actually it's possible to get a bit over-sensitive about how these 'reality' programmes are perceived by those outside the Island. What we see as embarrassing others may see as unusual or quaint.

Actually, I’d bet the approach that will be taken by the producers will be to present us dear old Manxies as shallow gene pool, unaware, Island-dwelling, bumpkins. It usually is. All the “characters” - lags and screws - will be cartoonish cliches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebean Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 My bet is that the knob that promoted this will soon be released from their current situation to spend more time with their family. Quietly, of course with a lump sum and an insincere ringing endorsement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I was really surprised when I saw the scheduling - it's on Wednesdays immediately after Coronation Street. I was expecting it to be on one of their less prominent channels.
