ITV must be seriously on their arse if this is what classes for entertainment in their books;
Wikipedia; CelebAir is an upcoming reality TV series, which will see 11 celebrities doing the jobs of cabin crew and check-in attendants. The series is to be presented by Angellica Bell and will air from 2 September 2008 on ITV2.
PRWeb: Award winning leisure airline Monarch will be sharing its 40 years of aviation experience with a host of famous faces from Monday 14 July, as its sets about training a group of celebrities, who must measure up to Monarch’s standards and take on roles across the airline including cabin crew, check-in and ticket desk.
PRWeb: [Also] commenting on CelebAir, Zai Bennett, Controller of ITV2 said: “CelebAir promises to be a huge reality event this autumn on ITV2. It is an incredibly ambitious project on a scale not seen before in reality TV. This definitely isn’t a show for work-shy celebrities, we’re taking on a real plane, with real passengers with real holidays to go on – it promises to be an amazing trip.”
It starts tonight (Tuesday) on ITV2 at 9pm – you have till then to smash up every Television set you own – British TV is officially dead.

It looks poor, but it is hidden on ITV 2 which about 7 people nationwide watch nightly. And television survived that so piss-poor it was insulting Love Island thing. Where if you haven’t cleansed the awfulness from your minds was where ITV put some privileged people on a beach in the South Pacific or somewhere and basically filmed them idling about on the white sands, with the aim of filming some D-list nookie.
Also didn’t Chegger’s host a naked game show. TV has always been 75% shit. Not much has changed Merk, maybe the pie chart is 75% shit, 10% rolling news, 10% soaps, 4% Adrian Chiles and 1% watchable.
ps. from Merk’s helpful profiles you can see that celeb-reality tv is self-perpetuating. A lot of these people are only famous for being on other reality shows. It’s become a self-feeding roundabout. An eternal conveyor belt. Imagine if we could harness this perpetuality to make energy. No more oil wars, no more greenhouse gases, no more melting ice caps, no more homeless penguins.
We may have found a use for Callum Best.
2 quotes from the Aliens film spring to mind:
“game over man, game over!”
or simply
“k-k-ill… meeee…..”
Jesus.
How do I get out of this place?
What’s talent like Phil Cornwell doing on there?
I think I will put my foot through the TV and send ITV2 the bill.
I dont get ITV2 over here, would someone mind slingboxing it for me? (do you get slingbox there yet?)
