    A brand new series of this programme starts on Thursday 7th July, 8pm on BBC2.

    I look forward to laughing at more dimwits - it was a laugh last time it was on!

    People seem to think you do that to others round these parts (the bank charges whingers!). I'll be shouting abuse at the little spoilt brats on this show too!

    There's nothing wrong with pointing out the obvious (in relation to those bank charge moanalots!)

    What I find even more hilarious is that the sorts of people we'll get to see on Thursday are the same sort of people - they never acknowledge that it's their fault.

    I love it. You couldn't make it up. To them it's always someone elses fault.

    Was the girl last night the worst person they have ever had on there, or what? It seemed to me that she had given 'growing up' a complete miss. What a Beee-atch!

    I have to agree with you. She didn't even know the extent of her debts her estimate was £4,000 away from the truth. She needed the wake up call I only hope she will learn to respect money. She had obviously lived way beyond her means for sometime. Her attitude was awful she was just one of those people if you said something was black she would swear it was white!!!

    Yeah.

    'This isnt my life'

    No, but it might be one that you can actually afford. It shocks me that you could spend £30,000 that you don't have and have very little to show for it

    Hadn't she spent something like £5,000 on going to see Euro 2004?

    I think if I had been her mother, I'd have been giving her a swift kick up the @ss.
