Channel 4 has been running subliminal messages saying 'Rat TV' for a while. Does anyone know what it is?

[the_dr]

It's a new Reality TV show - 10 Rats in 1 house for 10 weeks, playing against each other for a prize of 10 grams of cheese.<P>the_dr

[chronic_basildon_donuts]

im pretty sure that the big breakfast has recruited roland rat as a new presenter. not sure whether it'll be in a full capacity (like bacon) or a zig and zag type role. this is true though, despite how odd it sounds.

[Baza]

I thought it could be a programme made by rats. They give rats cameras and producing equipment to make a show for rats. Channel 4 has decided to branch out to a wider audience with it.

[the_dr]

The crappy submlininal frames have been broadcast during the Big Breakfast (not that I'm ever up in time for it). Big Breakfast is owned by the same production company that made Survivor, who also did those subliminal frames. One word - passé. It's been used sooooo many times.<P>In other Big Breakfast news, <A HREF="http://media.guardian.co.uk/broadcast/story/0,7493,523562,00.html" TARGET=_blank>http://media.guardian.co.uk/broadcast/story/0,7493,523562,00.html<<br>/A> <P>the_dr

[Lara]

it def. has summit to do with the legend roland rat......

[wannabe_mrs_moyles]

i can't be bothered with tv anymore, it's all crap except for trisha which i watch because it's very exciting and informative, i could now say that i am a trained counsellor. there don't seem to be many decent arguments on trisha but it's quality viewing, i watch it while i eat my breakfast. yum.

[Baza]

Wasn't Roland Rat a big rat puppet for kids in the 80's or something?

[stevotrash]

aren't execs brilliant? What do the big breakfast suits do to turn around the ratings? Bring in decent presenters? New features?Better guests? <br>Of course not silly! They bring in an puppet from the 80's. <br>complete w*nkers

[Lara]

yeah he was baza- and i distinctly remember playing a roland rat board game at some point in my life...which is v. disturbing!! has anybody else suffered memories of playing this board game as well?

[Baza]

I find it disturbing that I know about this rat at all. I'm only 14.

[the_dr]

Watching too many I Love 80s programmes Baz man?

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

baza theres a lot of things disturbing i feel old at 20 cos people are covering songs i remember the first time around.  Does anyone know the shortest period before a song was covered?  I remember wonderwall was covered quite soon after by was it Mike Flowers?

[Lara]

Baza- i know about roland rat and remember him cleary and i'm only 15!<br>OH NO!!! THE HAIR!!!!  <IMG SRC="http://chrismoyles.net/ubb/redface.gif"><br>mike flowers is still out there- beware!!!<br>on the subject of wonderwall that reminds me of my dream last night that i met liam and noel gallagher.....strange.<br>

[Baza]

Unfortunatly I think my mum has a Mike Flowers tape somewhere. I remember hearing it when I was young. It was very disturbing!

[Lara]

u poor thing- no-one should have to endure such torture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wannabe_mrs_moyles]

i had a strange dream, i keep having dreams about world war 3. and i get evacuated to the country in a hippy bus thing.

[the_dr]

....."You're my, *click fingers* wonderwall"...

[Lara]

a bit of class there.  :)<br>he was born a performer...ahem. or should i say an arse with a bad haircut.

[Lara]

isn't it strange how this topic has gone from roland the rat to mike flowers....a def. insult to roland rat!!  :)

[Baza]

So when will roland rat start on the big breakfast?

[the_dr]

Some would say he's already started...<P>Anyway, why are you bothered? The Big Breakfast is crap and you shouldn't be up in time to watch it. Lie in, take it easy. You've got 6 1/2 weeks left. Chill Baza.<P>the_dr

[Baza]

I don't need you telling me how to have my holidays. I'll wake up whenever I want.

[the_dr]

Chill, baz man. Chill, have a sleep  :)
