November’s edition of The TV Show featured a debate about Peter Kay’s spoof reality programme Britain’s Got the Pop Factor… and took a look back at Jamie Oliver’s latest series, Jamie’s Ministry of Food. We also caught up with The TV Show’s Big 4, which last month visited Exeter.
If you missed the live show, or would like the opportunity to watch again, you can now view the full programme here on the blog and let us know what you think. Do you agree with the comments made?
Joining Krishnan in the first half of the show was Channel 4’s head of entertainment and comedy, Andrew Newman. Krishnan asked the studio whether they thought it was right for Britain’s Got the Pop Factor… to “poke fun” at people in wheelchairs, people with dwarfism and transsexuals, just to get a laugh. Watch the video to find out what they had to say.
Also on the show this month were Natasha Wightman and Mick Trueman, stars of Jamie’s Ministry of Food, and executive producer of the series Dan Reed. Find out what they think about the ‘Pass It On’ campaign and see what they had to say in response to the questions put to them.
As always, some members of the studio audience took the chance to share their views after Saturday’s show by recording backstage their viewer videos – keep an eye on the site over the coming week to see what they had to say.
The next edition of The TV Show will be broadcast in early December – if you’d like to join the studio audience please contact thetvshow@princesstv.com.

Reality Bites: Reality shows on telly used to be good fun. Some even used to get emotional and lose a few bucks on phoning for their favourite candidates. But their is more to reality than reality shows. It’s much more bleak and much grimmer these days for us, the common people, ever since our economy went into a crunch. So even if it has come as a shock to the producers of x factor that the profit is not extremely uplifting this time, we are not at all surprised by the fact that no one is phoning. That’s why anyone with a little grey cell could understand that the most favourite candidate was “evicted” to bring an interesting twist to the programme. “If you liked laura white, why didn’t you vote her then”; this sentence was used by each and everybody related to the programme so many times, that it left no doubts in the viewers that the poor (aw! bless them) conductors of the programme are almost pleading the viewers to at least vote. But on behalf of the poverty striken people I can now assure you that this time, no one is going to vote mate, no mater who you evict from your programme.
