The truth is out there?

The truth is out there, unless you're in reality TV world that is. It seems like you can't turn the page of a newspaper or see a news bulletin these days without some fresh revelation of reality TV faking something for the small screen.

Reality TV is faked, OK, so some have had suspicions for some time that everything in the reality TV world is in fact reality, but these day's it's becoming more and more prevalent. Take the documentary, about the Beckham's going to America, we were treated to a behind the scenes look at Victoria's efforts to pave the way for their move to LA. But after the show was shown, it transpires that, a few of the 'real' people in the programme were in fact actors and actresses and whole sections of the show were in fact staged.

The BBC has been caught yet again faking bits on the antiques auction show 'Cash In The Attic'. In the episode in question a man was seen entering a bidding war during an auction for a iron door stop, this guy won after bidding got up to £600, for what was an item worth only about £50. Fool you may think, and it's it was true you'd be right, but, it's not, this guy, Bob Warman, who was seen bidding, was actually bidding on a different item at a different auction, his £600 went on an antique table and not a rusty old door stop. This comes on the back of the BBC admitting it has done a similar thing on another daytime TV prog, 'Flog it'.

Ramsey's kitchen nightmares has been accused a few times of faking scenes to make the show more interesting, Even the Queen is not immune from being a subject to chronological manipulation in the clip shown to the media by the BBC that appeared to show her storming out of a photo session in a huff. The scene of her walking out was actually Her Maj walking in. The BBC have had production staff pretending to be competition winners on various radio and telly shows, it's getting harder and harder to trust the BBC, once the World's most widespread, trusted and respected broadcaster, now well, I still trust them to entertain me, but I'll never believe a reality show is actually a reality!

Oh talking about the Queen, according to a royal biographer, there are only three people that can be put straight through to the Her Maj no matter where she is. The first is her granddaughter, Zara Phillips, the second is Prince William and whom is the third? One would expect it to be Prince Charles perhaps, but you'd be wrong, perhaps you're thinking it's Harry, but you'd also be way off the mark. Could it either of her children, Anne, Edward or Andrew? Nope it's not either of them. I bet you thinking it's gotta be the Prime Minister that gets put straight through to Her Maj, but that's even not correct. No, strange as this may see, the third and only other person to be put straight through to the Queen when they call wherever she is, is, John Warren, her horse racing manager!

I hear that Ben Ellis is going to star in the new Westend musical Hairspray, which is good news for the youngster who lost out to Lee Mead in Any Dream Will do reality show recently. Ben, is over the moon as you'd expect "This has been my dream!" bless him, he's kinda cute too and I thought he should have won Any Dream. But, alas he didn't, Lee Mead did, I wonder if that had something to do with the fact that the winner of this reality TV talent contest was already employed as part of the the chorus of the musical Joseph and was always an understudy for the role, before he won?

Camp actor and fellow Stonewall Equality walker, Antony Cotton has got himself a brand new chat show, which should be a bit of a giggle, especially if he's anything like his character of Alexander on Queer As Folk. Apparently he's going to keep on doing his role in Corrie as the gay barman, knicker stitcher Sean whose just impregnated a woman! I for one will be watching the first show with open eyes, is there any other way?

Our National Health Service is spending £1 million a week on 1 single drug it was revealed this week, which is a pretty hefty price tag. But, what is this drug they are spending so much dosh on? Is it a cure for cancer? Nope, A life saving treatment? Nope, it's Viagra! Yep they spend a million quid a week on giving people erections, now that's an upstanding job!

Right, that's ya lot for now!
