Sometimes after a hectic day, all you want to do is go home and zone out in front of the TV. And not just any TV, bad TV, as in programmes so awful you’d never admit you watched them, let alone reveal you secretly record them to make sure you don’t miss out.
Well we’ve decided to come clean and share our guiltiest TV pleasures with you – just don’t judge us too harshly!
Nashville
In a world of brilliant US TV exports (Breaking Bad, True Detective, The Walking Dead…) we’re more than slightly ashamed to admit the one we tune into without fail every week is Nashville. We don’t know what we love about it; Hayden Panettiere’s questionable dance moves, Connie Britton’s cowboy boots or all the country tunes, but there’s certainly something that’s got us hooked.
The Big Reunion
Watching The Big Reunion first time round was bad enough, but 5ive, B*Witched and Atomic Kitten transported us back to our teenage years and we loved the nostalgia of it all. By series two the novelty should have worn off and we shouldn’t care about what drove Another Level apart or whether Gareth Gates can cope with being a member of a band rather than a solo star, but we do, oh so much.
TOWIE
Made in Chelsea still has a shred of credibility but it’s fair to say that watching The Only Way is Essex is about as cool as sporting a neon orange tan and saying “reem”. All our old favourites have flown the nest; Amy, Mark, Lucy, Lydia and Joey, but we’ll stay loyal as long as original cast members Sam and Arg remain, and then we promise we’ll go cold turkey.
Deal or No Deal
We got addicted to Deal or No Deal at uni and still get the urge to tune in every now and again. There’s nothing better than reliving our student days by screaming “no deal” at the TV and keeping our fingers crossed that the box being opened isn’t a red.
