Yet another TV program on Marbella
 
Have just been browsing the TV guide & noticed the following programme, yet another look at "normal" life in the Marbella area ????????

10pm Spanish time, Tuesday 12th January. ITV.

This is the write up:-

Piers Morgan sets out to discover the real Marbella - but does he find it to be the poor man's St Tropez or a place in the sun for multi-millionaires? He tours a villa belonging to a British knight - which rents out for 20,000 euros a day - and goes shopping with former Birmingham City Football Club MD Karren Brady for a 16,000 pound handbag. He also meets a couple who have been gassed in their own home by an eastern European gang and hears about shootings in broad daylight at a hairdressers.

Set your timer now !!!! Or not !!!

I think I'll set the timer to 'Shun'.

When there is wall to wall shite on TV, there is at least always the Spanish channels. At least there a crap programme is also a language lesson.

Try some of these on your computer, Bil, at least you can pick and choose something reasonable to watch whilst improving your Spanish.

Actually, the 'family that got gassed by a East-European gang' are our very own Euesdens, who normally do the gassing in their peerless organ, the Euro Weakly.
They'll be blocking the aisles in Blighty, Mum.

Oh no, that means we will never hear the end of it when certain people on here watch the true stories on the program.

Perhaps we need a few graphs on how much gas is needed to knock out people in a villa :rofl::rofl:

I remember:
The Moscow theatre hostage crisis, Chechen rebels took 850 hostages and demanded the withdrawal of Russian forces from Chechnya and an end to the Second Chechen War. The Russians pumped in this nerve gas which, um, unfortunately, killed about half the people there.
Pity they didn't know about the stuff these pesky East Europeans use.
I can imagine the scene. A rainy street blocked by men in cunning disguises. A fake cop turns the traffic away. A huge tanker, stolen that very morning from Vladivostock is parked by the family Ferrari as a thick orange tube is threaded through the lavatory window. A generator fires up. Curtains twitch. Several East Europeans in gassmasks shimmy down a rope hanging from a helicopter and in through a sky-light...
Luckily, it'll just give them a headache...

Just kidding. It must have been terrible.

Yawn, you can rent my place out at €20,000 a day too. If you want, I'll even tell you I'm a knight as well (how would you know different?).
So far as a £16,000 handbag goes - someone should tell that woman about haggling?

Isn't it strange that some people can slag off a program they haven't seen yet?

It you want a taster, he is doing a program about Las Vegas tonight at 22.20 on ITV1

Thanks for that. We have been watching what's his name? I call him Señor bigote, or one and a half. I think his name is Juan y Medio.

Well, you know how it is. We all make assumptions. I too am guilty of assuming that anything produced by a complete tw*t like PM will be complete sh*te.

Should he ever produce anything worth watching, it will be on the news, and I can catch it on the repeats.

Don't know him, TBH. But have just been watching a few old programmes of Follonero in Melilla and another with Joan Laporta, presidente de Barcelona. Not a big fan of Spanish TV, but El Follonero creases me!:)
