Jason Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Ok, this is way off-topic, but as us HPCers are in search of the truth... here goes: Do you think the program is a hoax, in that all the cadets are also actors? I think it is. Look at this: http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/m...an-mcbride.html That's the Scottish chap. Now look at the give-blood advert: http://www.blood.co.uk/pages/flashAdvert5L.htm, and you will see him (or someone who looks like him) near the end of the advert (with Gordon Ramsey).

Some people are really stoopid....I mean REALLY stoopid. I guessing thye cadets are NOT actors. Mostly because it's one thing to show how stupid a few people are...and another to show how stupid milliions are. If the viewers feel like they have been made a fool of, they will stop watching channel 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy probably wants to make it as an actor or in the media so probably has applied for all sorts of media jobs and has just found himself on the ultimate piss take programme.

theChuz Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 My understanding is that there are 3 actors amonst them. We have to remember that they normal cadets would of been hand selected for thier gullability, they would of all sat psychological profile test to make sure they are the most gulliable people in the uk. Thing is though, i just dont get, what is the desired outcome? at the end of it the nation gets to laugh at 4? people for being tricked by a clever hoax, reminds me of nelson of the simpsons the nation will stand back for 2 seconds , point and say Ha Ha then what? its done, its over, there cant be a sequal we wont be talking about it weeks afterwards, there wont be memorabilia, what is the point in it...

CrashBear Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hmm interesting, Maybe its a similar but less funny an idea like that program from the 80's when they pretended to investigate a family house that was haunted? Any one remember? I can't remember what it was called? Maybe ghost watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
