Did anyone watch this last night on Channel 4?

Really bizarre programme!! Couldnt work out if it was serious people or if they were actors???
 
Well some of them talked so honest I couldnt work it out.

I did think it was actors but my best mate wasnt so sure. She thought the crying was bluddy good acting if it was acting.
 
Emma, they were actor's! lol

I couldn't decide whether or not I fancied the girl who was doing the shopping!

Amazing body but oh so fake!
 
to be honest i wasnt exactly sure if they were actors or real people either. but the channel 4 preview seems to suggest real people from this "he gets a bunch of present day chavs to impersonate their predecessors while quoting historical attacks on their kind"

for anyone who didnt see it here are the 7 sins of england:

Binge Drinking
Vodka and Red Bull isn't such a new invention, the first law to control English binge drinking was passed in 616AD. Apparently the Brits got plastered the night before the battle of Hastings while the Normans sipped wine with their meal.

Consumerism
A girl with fake tits and huge hoop earrings dons a bikini and drags up some 18th century quotes about pikeys buying stuff for the sake of it.

Hooliganism
Some estate kids talk about fighting while three bouncers in a sauna recite a piece from The Times about respectable women being hounded by vagabonds in 1856.

Slagishness
In 1657 English women were known as the worst in the world. Apparently our love of dancing leads to whoreishness.

Rudeness
A market stall holder repeats comments made by a French tourist on a visit to London in 1765, then chants, 'Nobody likes us but we don't care.'

Violence
Further comment from the Frenchies in 1749: 'Anything that looks like fighting is delicious to the Englishman.' The art of boxing and spilling someone's pint are duly glorified.

Bigotry
In 1593 it was the Dutch, in 1891 the Jews, we've always moaned about refugees stealing our jobs.
 
The one at the end was odd, one where he said he had a CAT scan. I take it this was to show us what happens when you get blind drunk and get in fights
 
Bit disappointing really, C4 seems to veer wildly between the inspired and the downright shoddy at the minute. It was very rushed, yet managed to squeeze in the same quotes over and over again, and would have been far better if it had been approached a bit more seriously. Gordon Ramsey was much better entertainment.

Channel 4 seem to have some weird choice of programmes on the next few weeks. Mainly about s*x. One I saw advertised was a 24 year old virgin who goes to Amsterdam to have lessons/classes then can do it with the counsellor person 8O 8O
