    Celebrity diving show, featuring presenter/coach Tom Daly.

    Anyone else watching it?

    I'd rather dive head-first into an empty pool than ever watch it!!

    It's an awesome show. Everything about it is amazing. I don't care how uncool that makes me. That little dancer is so cute.

    What a load of rubbish that show is....completely foolish

    Just came across this by accident & I love it! Is it on every Saturday or is it every evening? I'm watching on sky so can't see the schedule.

    Saw Charlie Brooker go on about it a year or two back and it looks like the biggest load of rubbish.

    The line about the dumping of a dead horse made me gag with laughter!!

    'Hole In The Wall' could be filed under 'so bad, it's good'.

    ITV Bosses tried the same angle with 'Splash' after the mauling it has received from press and viewers, but it's 'so bad, it's bad'.

    Just let it die.

    It's just a bit of fun. It got good viewing figures last year, so nuts to the critics.

    Eddie The Eagle was a revelation last year. He could have been a good diver if he hadn't taking the easy route, and taken up Ski Jumping

    Terrible programme.

    I can imagine some of the good viewing statistics are due to some of the very nice physical attributes of some of the contestants. I am thinking especially of that Sky Sports presenter who wore a sort of slashed swimsuit one year.

    Now why am I thinking of The Running Man again...?

    "This is television, that's all it is. It's nothing to do with people, it's to do with the ratings. For Christ's sake, guys, don't you understand? Brits love television! They wean their kids on it! Listen, they love game shows, they love diving, they love celebrities. So what do we do? We give 'em what they want! We're number one, guys, that's all that counts!"
