Meet the Russians

[MrsMargoLeadbetter]

Cannot see another thread...

Just watched an episode after hearing Scott Mills on Radio 1 talking about it. Loved it

Reality show about uber rich (mainly) Russians living in London. Lots of 'colourful' characters; rich husbands, furs, botox etc.

Is on Fox 124 on Sky.

Hey Mrs Margot, I'm in two minds about this programme.

The narrator has a slight sound of mockery in his voice, and I find it quite sad considering that films like Top Boy are also based on the realities of living in London. They just seem void and vapid, going around in their world of russian concerts etc. Don't mean to rain on your parade, but, is this russia's version of the Real Housewives? As in, Putin saying to Obama, have this!? So many questions and contradictions in the programme for the viewer. Help me!

I would quite like to watch this but have made a decision not to allow any more reality into my viewing. I thought one was a Reading footballer, no? If so, hardly London! I've got a rich Russian friend and she's lovely, married to a Scando who might keep her "grounded" to coin a cliche!

It isn't a documentary that is for sure, sorry maybe I should have said that in my OP.

It is along the lines of Housewives of for sure.

I did feel for the popstar who'd had 3 miscarriages.

No worries MrsMargot, I think that the editors probably should make the intentions of the program more clear.

Went on YouTube last night and found that Kamaliya is actually really popular in mainland Europe; one of her videos had 45 million views and ratings. Plus apparently her husband and her have a reality show in Ukraine!
