Advantages: Some entertaining moments

Disadvantages: Nothing to intelligent

This is another of those shows that can be found on cable channels like Bravo, it s a cheap form of TV making as the material is provided predominantly by members of the public or from news and sports footage, th only real input from the production company is to splice all of the footage together into different themes and to rovide some rather annoying voice overs to link it all together.

Having said that if you like looking at other peoples misery and laughing at their misfortune then this is not a bad sort of programme as it is a succession of home video clips showing people suffering spectacular falls or coming cropper on the dance floor, some of the clips are rather amsuing while others will have you wincing in your seat.

Fo me some of the most intersting clips are the longer bits of footage where you see people escaping from near death experiences, some of these involve parachute jumping where a tandem jump went wrong when the instructor sufferred a heart attack in flight and another where tow people's shutes got tangle up, both of these were pretty hairy. My other favurites are the spectacular crashes especially the ones featuring power boats, when you see these catch air beneath them there is no stopping them.

This show is ideal waster TV and given I have the week off at the moment is something I find myslef watching as I rest up after work out sessions with a nice mug of coffee.

Summary: Video footage show
