I loved that show! Will have a watch later

Oh I remember watching that and feeling really cross. Didn't Paul Daniels do a celebrity swap? And that racing pundit guy who treated his wife horribly?

It's honestly had me a bit angry rewatching a lot of it so far !! The audacity , the neglect , the misogyny, the DV
And then the other side some of it has made me cackle too
It certainly wouldn't be made that way now would it
