Roll Up... Roll Up...

It started with the posters…

They have appeared all over the town. Sky’s poster proclaiming “The Greatest Show on Earth”.

“At last”, I thought, after all those letters and recommendations I sent in they have finally responded to my demands to show Victoria Coren vs Eliza Dushku Treacle Wrestling.

Maybe with a bit more letter writing they will show the All Japan Lesbian Team Jam Wrestling (Apricot) first round Air Stewardesses vs Sixth Formers. My subscription thus guaranteed for life.

Sadly this appears not to be the case. The Greatest Show on Earth in this case appears to be Cirque De Celebritie, a ream of supposed celebrities are going to try their hand at being circus performers and you guessed it there’s going to be a distinct lack of celebrities here.

Popular faces from ‘hip with the kids’ style media include Grace Short who failed to win Big Brother (apparently) and Mr. Angry’s least favourite consultant Syed Ahmed, a man who not only failed to win The Apprentice, but also failed to be selected for further Sky reality bilge The Match.

Celebrity? At this rate shouldn’t the show be called “Cirque De Game Show Contestant?” or perhaps “Cirque De Loser”? Who the ruddyfeck are these people and why should the faithful subscriber pay £40 a month to see them?

I tell you what though…. I can’t wait to see the Lion Taming.
