Guilty Pleasures
Picture the scenario…. A friend comes over for a TV and take away night. You put the TV on your favourite (embarrassing) programme is on. You REALLY want to watch it but you know that if you admit this out loud it could quite possibly ruin whatever reputation you have been trying to promote and you could become subjected to immense ridicule.
Not. With. Sky. Plus.
It allows you to always be prepared. From the comfort of my desk, I can use my Iphone to sky plus any cheap / tacky / wrong / weird / rude programme I want, it then tape it (in secret) and stores it ready for my alone time, therefore allowing me not to disclose any of my private viewing habits.
However, for the means of the blog, I will let you in (only partially) to my Sky Plus library and what my guilty pleasures are:
- Behind Bars. Documentary of prison life. (this is on Bravo. Its amazing, they have a different theme every episode, so sometimes it discusses prison relationships, sometimes prison violence etc)
- Total Wipout USA (on Watch and its a mix of a surreal gameshows like Takeshi’s Castle, Gladiators and Krypton Factor. I’m addicted to it. Americans running around a man made obstacle course, falling in mud and jumping on BIG rubber balls over water. I love this show.)
- Women who Kill (this is factual and on the crime and punishment channel. Its usually the stories of three separate real life women killers. Worrying I sometimes put this on when I try and fall asleep)
Anyway – what are your TV guilty pleasures?

I am totally the same, although my husband gets annoyed when he finds 15 hours of Border Patrol and Animal Park clogging up the drive…..

Is it sad that I watch the same Top Gear and Friends on repeat? Even though I have seen every episode at least 3 times. If I had sky plus… or even sky I would record homes under the hammer and all the house programmes you just arent able to watch in the week. Guess I’ll have to leave them for the students for now… *ahhh sighhhh*
