    Why :confused: I have no clue :rolleyes:

    Hidden cameras on the Zig & zag show (which btw is a mish mash of pure rubbish collected from the 1980's :()

    And then that new program The Fear.

    And then that Format Farm program (which was pure pain to watch)

    Why oh why RTE?? What is your reason for this obsession??

    Naked Camera was a big commercial success for RTE so they're probably trying to have another go at producing something similar (The Fear).

    Because it's dirt cheap to make and they can call it home grown content? It's like sawdust in sausages - a cheap filler.

    Format Farm was a series of pilots, rather than one fully-fledged programme - and you're probably thinking of Baptism of Hire, the fourth pilot. ;)

    That was made by the same people who make Anonymous - so it was guaranteed to be rubbish. ;);)

    That, and also one gets the impression that they automatically think that everyone loves these shows... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ;)

    The best part of that show was the ad break. Utter and complete vomit.

    They were funny once.

    No, it's actually not.

    The Fear also tries to pass off scenes that are scripted as part of the 'hidden camera' act which renders any of the more successful sketches suspect in my opinion.
