I'll start with UK Border Force and the Australian Customs version. I just cannot get enough of people trying to smuggle dodgy beef in their suitcases into Melbourne for no apparent reason, or illegal waiters denying all knowledge of their birthdays.

And on days off I can't miss Homes Under The Hammer, mainly for the inspired way they manage to find music to match anything that anyone says. Someone will paint a wall purple, and they'll play Purple Rain - it's genius.

Has anyone sunk lower?

I couldn't cope with Honey Boo Boo. Excruciating - my embarrassment threshold is too low.
Storage Wars sounds like a riot - will track it down.

DD makes me watch 16 Kids and Counting (I think they may have had more kids now) which is INSANE. They're all really sweet and nice (apart from the slightly creepy father), but bloody hell, there are a lot of them.

I quite enjoyed the series of the Duggars and their mahoosive family.

Storage Wars is brilliant.

Ooh I quite like Cash Cab and Perfection for a crap quiz show.

DD will not entertain Honey Boo Boo, she thinks it's horrid, also she does not approve of Geordie Shore which I watch.
She's gone off TOWIE.
She does put up with my cooking shows though, my current favourite is Simon Hopkinson's latest.

She likes Supernatural, Grimm, silly horror films and Russel Howard.

Have jusy set up the sky planne for Extreme Couponning - thanks for the tip!

Another vote for Storage Wars DH watches it and I've got sucked into watching it and it's strangely addictive.

As for pants quiz shows I love Tipping Point (comes from my addiction to 2p machines at the seaside!) Would love to go on it!

OP agree with you on the Homes Under The Hammer music thing. Another addictive programma! Sometimes I find myself disappointed at the end results though
