Following on from the seemingly endless procession of facile drivel masquerading as Saturday evening primetime entertainment ITV inflicts on the public, the broadcaster has announced a new collaboration between Bear Grylls and Ray Mears.
Bear and Ray's Big Night In will see the two survival supremos share a quiet night in together at a small terraced house in Oldham. Explaining the project to showbiz critics they seemed in good spirits. 'It's going to be great,' enthused Mears. 'We'll be getting a few cans from the off-licence on the corner, ordering in a nice tasty curry and then streaming something from Netflix.'
'Yes, that's right,' agrees Grylls. 'It's going to make a change from us going off into jungles and wildernesses on our own. And let's face it, who in everyday ordinary life is ever going to find themselves in such a pickle? Our shows to date are utterly removed from any vestige of reality when you think about it. We're stunned TV execs never spotted the mind-numbing pointlessness of the concepts before now.
'I mean the average chartered accountant or postman would never find themselves having to drink armadillo semen or use a pair of specs to distil nutrients from gorilla shit mixed with stagnant water to survive. Well... not unless they're rushed to their local A & E.'
