The Million Pound Flop
Fri, 28/05/2010 - 09:48 by

There's a rumour doing the rounds that Davina McCall's new show, The Million Pound Drop, is in fact a big set-up, and that all the contestants are actually Big Brother 2010 housemates. We've only caught a few minutes of the programme and didn't think much of it. But we wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing is a massive PR prank from Channel 4...

So is The Million Pound Drop a fake show? Are all the contestants featured on it actually future Big Brother housemates?

We contacted Channel 4 who refused to comment on whether or not the rumour was true.

Does that mean they've got something to hide? If it really was bullshit then they'd want to come out and say so.

We don't know what to believe. But we certainly wouldn't put it past them...

  • "Day 44 and the starving bengal tigers are let loose in the Big Brother house.." I might watch it if that happens...

  • I want them to explain how she was a massive drug addict in her earlier years. What a gobshite cunt, someone shoot her now

  • She's fucking rubbish at presenting anything thats required to be played relatively straight. Any hooting retard could anchor the bb programmes with limited fuss but she really exposes her talentlessness on this show.

    I hope the novo virus is released into the house and the windows and doors locked.

    "And here comes Davina - so Machiavellian / Lady Macbethesque one woud expect her to be intoning "Out Out damned spot - but wait! Soft! What Light from yonder window breaks? 'Tis the Aryan Supremacists and their Cross-Burning!

    Now over to Eddie Waring for the Lynching"

  • Jiggers, are you referring to Stuart Hall the erstwhile sports/ It's a Knockout commentator or Stuart Hall the black cultural theorist? I think that a combined commentary from both would be ideal.

  • Paint her green, she'd make a passable wicked witch of the west.

  • BB jumped the shark back in 2000 when Nick and Craig first walked into the house.

  • So over her and the BB thing. Couldn't give a toss. Won't be watching either of the shows. BB actually jumped the shark the year that Pete Bennett won. As soon as they started reintroducing housemates to the house that people had voted out, (paid good money to vote out, more fool them) then it became a sham and Endemol should have been done for fraud. The show should have been pulled and she should have been out of a job. We're such fucking idiots in this country.

  • 'And now, Have I Got News For You, wherein there is a round mocking Mock The Week doing a pastiche of the News Review's coverage of Million Pound Drop and it's tie in with Big Brother'

    One day, TV will eat itself.

    I just hope Stuart Hall is doing the commentary.

  • It's a pile of shite, so if it is a real tv show, what better way to create some interest and bump up viewing figures than by linking it to BB?
