Hole in the wall (this is the splatmando apparently)- Picture BBC
hole in the wall left me open mouthed when i first saw it – It’s not often telly had this effect on me, but then again I don’t often watch ITV, but wait it’s on BBC1.
if you haven’t seen it yet – basically you stand infront of a swimming pool, while a big polistirine wall with a person shape hole comes towards you. get through the hole, or get wet. that’s it. oh and there’s lycra, and Dale Winton shouting BRING ON THE WALL!
Anyway, it’s so astonishing – I thought i would blog it. so nerd alert.
<nerdy>I’ve been taken with the idea of live blogging, basicaly it’s blogging while something happens. the BBC do it all the time for sports events. it’s like a modern take on watching the football on cefax. anyway I’ve yet to find the right plug in to do this well in wordpress, and besides i just wanted to mess about. you may ignore the following. it’s my ramblings while i watched the telly</nerdy>
17:24 18/10/2008 – Hole in the wall
Has prime time telly really desended this far? z-list celebs, in silver spandex?
17:26: I’m fairly sure they are playing big cook little cook music in the background, Macus Brigstock? is this part of every new BBC contract?
17:28: BRING ON THE WALL! – no really it’s time to go search youtube! – turns out it’s the japanese fault.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4bekQU9l8hk&feature=related – should have known
17:31: they shapes all have names ? the spat man do!
17:33: is it to early to declare this ‘game show’ fixed?
17:35: it’s getting a bit kinky now, spandex, and ball and chain
17:37: Do you think johnathan pierce gets paid more to ‘commentate’ on gameshows than football, i’m pritty sure he did robot wars to.
17:39: time for a guest star would you be a guest on this show? – then again why would you be on this show?
17:40: turns out the guests don’t even make a celeb list. the worlds tallest man? Neil Fingleton has his own website mind http://www.neilfingleton.co.uk/
17:44: it’s a pretend quiz… count the words in a song then flap like a bird.
17:47: we are been promised a ‘mega’ wall! the anticipation is (just about) mesurable.
17:49: for the last time “Bring on the wall” oh thank you… this pain will be over soon.
17:51: its over! next week, i don’t think so.
on reflection, I might not find something that lets me do this. If the desire takes you – you have 6 days to watch this on the internet.
