...has to be the new series on BBC3 of Young Dumb and Living off Mum.

I watched it last night hoping and praying that it was all a set up and these guys weren't really so stupid, selfish, lazy and completely irresponsible.

They all deserved to be shot, closely followed by the parents - only one of whom admits that their overgrown child is a nightmare and they've made a huge mistake with the way they've spoilt the selfish little(?) shit.

I thought the first series was frightening enough, but this lot are even worse. the girl that got kicked out this week had to be removed from the house early because she had a violent tantrum over the fact that two of the others were sharing a bed (fully clothed, not even a hint of shenanigans) and she didn't want them to.

The scariest thing is that three of the girls are very close in personality to the girl that sits next to me at work.

Surely the scariest thing here is that such nonsense gets enough viewers for a second series!

It's BBC3, it only needs 37 viewers to qualify as a hit.

I won a doberman with a number 37 raffle ticket this week. I used to live at a number 37, too, years ago.
Sorry.

I find these things almost impossible to watch. The people in them seem to have lifted their conception of social interaction from an especially histrionic soap opera. Everything is a slight.

Reminds me of home - a town where grudges run back generations, and if you smile at someone they think you're laughing at them.

Just like an internet forum, then.

Tony, I'm a 37 fan as well. It's a prime number composed of the two most powerful digits. It's also the age I'd got to in what was a particularly good year for me.

3+7=10, 1+0=1, 1=the ego above all else.

How come I now feel that "Young, Dumb and Living off Mum" is going to be imported to America?

God save us.
