This is being touted as the 'new Big Brother' but it's quite different by the sounds of it.

 

Basically it's a 'docusoap' set in Notting Hill. Everything that happens in each episode has happened in the week leading up to transmission and C4 claim none of it is scripted and that the drama will write itself. There's 20 main cast and each episode will focus on a handful of them, much like an episode of EastEnders or Corrie.

The cast includes a female pilot, a pet therapist, a hairdresser, a model, a singer-songwriter, a student and several more. C4 hope viewers will use the interactive website to talk to the cast.

 

I have to say I think it looks like it could be pretty good.

Hmm interesting, I'll probably give it a go!

So basically it's The Hills but it's real.

Haha for a moment there I thought this thread referred to the old sci fi show: 7 Days

Yeah was gonna say looks like a british version of The Hills ... sounds intriguing, will probably give it a go at least.

so its just going to be following the lives of these people, and hoping drama will create itself? this will fall on its feet i reckon.

I'm glad I stuck with this, the second episode was MUCH more entertaining than the first, packed with highlights, namely the supposedly straight Ben using some dreadful chat-up lines in the restaurant, Malcolm raving about his cats again, the DRAH-MA! scene with Laura Z and Samantha in the caf and anything with Hannah.

Nobody else watching?

 

It's only getting half a million viewers. It must be cheap as anything to make though so hopefully they stick with it and the audience grows. It's a hell of a lot better than that vile The Only Way Is Essex thing which must die immediately.

i watched first episode and lost interest is it worth giving it another go?

Absolutely. The last episode was riotously funny and they're all interacting with each other much more now.
