Review

It's like one of those experiments where one group plays prison guards and starts being complete sadists to the prisoners. Fascinating reality TV as middle-class and common people quickly degenerate into savage exploiters of the other family who have become their servants for a week, losing their dignity by their hatefulness. We had hindu Londoners and white middle-class christians (presumably) and you feared it would erupt into race war, as well as just fierce dislike, but it didn't, or they didn;t film it. The Londoners,in the end, managed to keep their humour longer than the out-of-towners and so emerged as the TV victors (i.e you preferred them as people).
