'90s and early 2000s reality tv shows

[ExCarer]

Does anyone else remember when reality tv shows were becoming popular? Things like Driving School. Remember Maureen? And Life of Grime with Mr Trebus? He had such a sad story.

There was one about the residents of a particular street but I can't remember what it was called now.

Can anyone remember any others?

Tool Academy was amazing! I watched the USA version too. Just the worst blokes you could imagine. It was addictive.

There are two seasons of Shipwrecked on All4.

I used to go to Rock World and we used to go to the place that was opposite the Hacienda and we weren’t nearly cool enough to go there.

The Simple Life with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie - interesting to hear from Paris years later that she put on a ditzy way of talking.

Wife swap was great. And the holiday swap one too.

I’m rewatching the Cruise on the BBC. I cannot tell you how happy I am (DH is out!)

Yes to Shipwrecked. The very original first series was the best. Some of the changes in follow ups were not great.

Enjoy! Was there a second series?

No don’t think so - there’s a special on there as well.

We've got this on DVD!
