Boss Swap

[Business Brian]

Has anybody been watching "Boss Swap" on TV? I've missed the first couple of episodes, but my partner has been watching them while I'm online, and keeps telling me about them - she finds them very interesting. Sounds almost like they would make for good research.
 
Anybody here actually been watching it?

I've not seen any of them.  I thought Wife Swap was brilliant, but for some reason I've never been all that bothered about Boss Swap.

How on earth do you find time to watch TV?

[altyfc]

Good point.
 
I listen to TV whilst watching the computer.

LOL!! My own PC is upstairs, so I barely ever see any TV anymore - unless it's the kids programs - Teletubbies, Bob the Builder, Boohbah...etc.

[altyfc]

I have all the kids programmes to look forward to very soon... any you can recommend?

You've got a first child on the way? My, you are going to be watching some great TV! The list above is a great start. And congratulations.

[altyfc]

Yep, 3 months to go.   And thank you.

Wife swap was great. I've not seen boss swap. what night is it on?

Not a great fan of such stuff, but boss swap - totally insane idea from the point of view of the companies involved but I'd guess it makes good TV!

Its actually the workers I feel sorry for there - they have to try to pay lip service to their new boss while trying to keep the company afloat and I suspect their clients don't have a clue whats going on. Could prove totally disasterous...

Saw one a little while back where the new boss was trying to fire one of the senior managers because he didn't agree with the boss - put it this way, I was sitting in front of the TV saying "Hit the ba****d", refering to what the manager should have done to the new boss who was a total wasak stuck up his own backside!

Btw, Aaron - do not even think about applying!!!  :p

Re. kids TV - a word of warning Aaron. If you want to avoid permanent brain damage, don't wake up at 6am turn on the TV and be greeted by the Teletubbies saying hello!

I did - where'd you think mad theories came from?




Btw, what happened to:

Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb (Trumpton)
Postman Pat
Bagpuss (my fav!)
Button Moon with Mr Spoon
Thomas the Tank Engine
The Clangers

...and a bit later:

Mainframe
Dr Zitbag's Transylvania Pet Shop
The Mysterious Cities of Gold

....oh and how did I forget (or why didn't I forget):

Carebears !!    (and they say Teletubbies is bad for kids)

Postman Pat was being shown at 8pm BBC over the Christmas holdiday weekdays.
 
Thomas the Tank engine? We have the first three series on video.
 
Bagpuss and the Clangers were both being shown around 05:45 on a weekend.
 
And I just saw an advert for Carebears toys yesterday, so the show can't be far behind.
 
As for mad children's program - anyone else hear seen Boobah?

[altyfc]

As long as I never have to sit through Dick and Dom's Bungalow rubbish, I'll be a happy man. Gawd, that program is bad.
