The Best of Bad TV

When Chat Shows Go Wrong (2x2)

Air date: Mar 08, 2016

The Best of Bad TV celebrates those moments when events on the small screen went wrong – in the most spectacular way imaginable. Because, while great television is all well and good, it’s much more fun to watch things start to unravel in fist-biting close-up. From drunken chat show guests and dismal on-screen talent, to jaw-dropping technical cock-ups and stand-up fights, right through to the worst excesses of reality TV – not to mention entire formats, sitcoms and dramas that should never have seen the light of day in the first place. A collection of the most awkward and amusing TV interviews, including Grace Jones on Russell Harty's chat show, Oliver Reed disrupting a high-brow conversation on 'After Dark' to Quentin Tarantino refusing to answer questions from Krishnan Guru-Murthy.
