How Dickinson managed to crawl his way back on to TV is anyone's guess but alas, somehow he has managed it. His new series on ITV showcases the fact that his terrible presenting style had gone unchanged, coming across as a man who wishes he wasn't there and seems to genuinely have contempt for every human being he meets. The show itself is just another generic daytime TV price guessing game show (Funnily enough there is a very similar show hosted by Noel Edmonds called "Cheap Cheap Cheap" on Channel 4 that airs at exactly the same time!) just with Dickinson's name slapped on it. There is no charm or wit whatsoever from the production or aforementioned presenter and the game itself is boring after one round. Thank God I have a job so can only be subjected to this terrible attempt at entertainment on my days off...

This show should be right up my street, I'm always a fan of the public trying military situations on TV, I loved "SAS: Who Dares Wins" and "Mutiny" but I'm afraid TV's campiest black man ruined the whole experience. The show itself is pretty good though fairly tame compared to the fore mentioned programs, the concept of having a different special forces instructor from countries around the world each week really works and keeps things fresh and interesting. All's going well until Reggie turns up in his overly metro-sexual outfit, looking like he's about to attend a Parisian fashion show and asks questions like "Are you feeling tired?" to contestants almost collapsing and fighting for breath after huge hikes or "Are you upset?" to contestants crying their eyes out with their head in their hands. The funniest thing is there is already a voice-over man presenting the program so there is absolutely no need for Mr Yates to be there anyway! Please stop using brain dead presenters to present semi-factual programs BBC!
