Handcuffed on Channel 4

I couldn't consider it a social experiment (I know it's promoted as such) even without the incentive of £100k prize pot. You could call any reality TV a social experiment, but it's not as most have a prize, or simply by being in front of cameras skews behaviour. It's crass and, depending on your humour, hilarious, but it's simply (rather dubious) entertainment not an experiment.

As a social experiment its been really interesting. I'm hoping that each pairing will actually see things from other perspectives. It does show just how intolerant we can be of each other which is the bases of all the things that are going on in this country and others

Oh they share a bed, handcuffed.

I haven't watched it but how do they manage the toilet / showering / sleeping?

They have a longer chain between the handcuffs for toileting. They keep the handcuffs on for showering, I think one couple shared a shower, one insisted the other wore a blindfold.

Yes. C4 seem to have cornered the market in barrel scraping. Sleazy, Jonathan Ross, who l can't stand because he is so false will do anything for a shilling

I think they should do a Celeb version of this show with Katie Price and Sharon Osbourne cuffed together.

Or ex Prince Andrew and Fergie.
Other ideas could be a Ghost version of Ian Paisley and the Pope.

By the way l.think C4 can and will go a lot lower than this appalling show.

Have seen it advertised but have not watched it and don't intend to do so. Difficult to believe that as a nation we have stooped so low in so many respects that people would even consider making a programme like this let alone watch such trash.

Agree 100%. I'd rather watch paint dry .

Not the least surprised Johnathan Ross is involved, few go lower.

Absolutely

I’m sick of so called celebrity T.V.shows.

Dating shows are the pits too.

I’m really surprised at Jonathon Ross hosting such rubbish.

How low will they go I wonder.

TV must be catering for those with more life ahead of them than behind them.

I just hate reality shows whatever they are about! Even Ben shepherd has got on the bandwagon with his ‘summit’! Hate them all. Soon it we’ll have to suffer(even if we do t watch it, there are constant reports on all the other channels) the jungle rubbish.
No, reality just not for ne

🤣🤣 visions of Mackenzie Crook miming the scraping of a barrel.

This. What happened to quality television? Yes, I know, too expensive.

"Celebrity Scraping the Barrel"

I'm finding it interesting. Love the girl who feeds the homeless and the mega rich man who I hope will look again at his life and change his ignorant attitude. I couldn't do it. Two ladies were doing OK, spent a couple of days working and living in a horsebox , then when they returned to London to the "entitled " models home all hell broke loose as it was 4 hours of posing and make up over and over again . All good fun

It had damning reviews which said it was demeaning on many levels, so l thought I'd give it a go to see how bad it was. I'm hooked. It's also my idea of hell, I'd last 5 minutes.

I’m finding it fascinating. I totally understand why some of the couples have found it impossible to carry on. I’m most interested in the woman who feeds the homeless and works hard who is handcuffed to the wealthy man. He seems to have begun to understand now what motivates her.

I am finding it entertaining. They have created the worst case scenario with their pairings. I am a placid person, but think my patience would run out in most of their positions.

Gosh they can make a program out of anything 😂
