Yorkshire Reality TV

 


Like "Dancing with the Stars"? Well, you ain't seen nothin' yet! As the humorist Dave Barry says in his columns, "I am not making this up!" There is a new TV show on English TV. Instead of celebrities dancing with ordinary people, England has celebrities herding ordinary sheep. Seriously. And do you know what they call this television spectacular? Flockstars.

 That part is true. The TV show takes British celebrities, let's them train for several weeks, and then they compete against another celebrity to see how fast they and their sheepdogs can herd a flock into a pen. You can tell that they hope their signature line will catch on: "Release the sheep!"

After watching the first show, I have to say, it was probably much better as a concept than in execution.
