What utter utter crap. Can't these idiots see that people are only watching these programmes in the hope to see them makes fools of themselves. Well I for one hope it crashes and burns (the series not the plane) before it gets off the ground.

I implore my fellow V-Flyers not to watch this drivel otherwise it will continue to perpetuate the belief by the TV industry that we like this rubbish and they will in turn continue churning it out.

What's next Celebrity Macdonalds?

Then why watch it? [?]

I agree with everyone's comments though, reality TV has hit a new low, will there ever (apart from The Apprentice) be an end to it?

How else can I moan and complain about how rubbish it is if I haven't watched it[:D] I still hold out a 0.000001% hope it might be rubbish, but in fabulous way, like Footballers Wives used to be [:w]

And the Apprentice? Sadly this has gone exactly the same way as all the other staged 'reality' shows, the move to BBC1 really killed it, thank god for Nick, Margaret and Adrian Chiles on You're Fired to make it semi watchable still.

Neil,

In your passport, does it have 'Mushroom' as your nationality? Kept in the dark and fed sh*t, and you're happy.

OK own up, who watched it? I did and can't believe how bad it actually was!

Firstly, not really a proper days work for them: operate a TWO HOUR sector, a layover for a few hours, then passenger back or vice versa!!! They need to do a 10 hour flight to Vegas with 450 people on board!

Secondly, loved how bad their grooming was when in uniform as when they were showed sitting by the pool on their 'layover', it was immaculate.

I also have never heard the word 'darling' used so much! And that really is saying something.

Shame on you Tinkerbelle!


Indeed! May your TV go into permanent standby and your antenna wilt in shame.

This is so heinous that it requires, nay, demands a nealie [V]

Now, now, boys! [V] Be kind to Tinks. We need the professional appraisal to confirm the programme was as absolutely awful/dire/dreadful as we knew it would be but also to point out the flaws that we may not be aware of! [:o)]

There were that many flaws / moments that I can't actually remember all of them!

The best bit was when Alicante was described as a 'glamorous destination'!

Also honorable mention has to go to ex-kids tv presenter Andi Peters as a passenger on the flight being extremely annoying!

I too watched it, and sadly it wasn't fabulously cr&p, it was just cr&p.

I would love to know how much they are actually doing themselves. Serving a few cups of tea in front of the camera is all well and good but hardly 'exhausting' work as they put it.

Oh and 'celebrity special guests' for the inaugural flight! I thought the 'Celebair' celebs were ZZZZZ list, but these really took the word to a new low.

Not having ITV2 I thought I had escaped it. However I've just noticed it's on our TV3 tonight......[:w]

I think you'll have to watch it, if only to give your opinions on it too [:)]

Needless to say, Dave was far more interesting

I glimpsed it on the front room TV as I walked in...then I walked straight back out.

And Richard, as for that Chantelle video, I get your point without even watching it.

Just looking on the Monarch website - what suprises me is that they are charging a £40 supplement for some of the CelebAir flights. Especially when in the line above they show the same flight without CelebAir branding!

How many Celebair funplanes, bottles of A-scent perfume and D-scent aftershave do you think will appear on Ebay??[:w]
