Well done all x

Rachel classic scream, I do think Dave c****d his self at that point hahaha....

[Aled]

I'm glad you enjoyed. We've been invited back - I for one, will be going!

[Terrier]

Enjoyed the show last night, although I thought it was a shame it wasn't the entire team there (where were Dom and Carrie?).

What you need to do is force Chris to go by making it for charity or something, setup a website for donations for Children in need and if it makes over 10k he has to do it.

You know I'm a total sceptic when it comes to all this, but it was very entertaining anyway.

Ghost Hunting with Radio 1
Monday 3rd of December, 9pm ITV2

Official Blurb:
The world’s foremost ghost hunter, Yvette Fielding and the Radio 1 DJ punksters Scott Mills, Comedy Dave, plus Rachel Jones and Aled Jones from the breakfast show, prepare to delve into the spooky unknown.

Radio 1’s ghost busting trip will lead them to three terrifying destinations, from underground tunnels to creepy military guard houses.

On a trip into the deepest, darkest places London has to offer, a night of screams, fear and tears awaits our celebrity ghost hunting team.

Review By steje73
Well this should be fun. Got my crisp butties and a box of double choc muffins all ready. Let's go.

Ah, good special effects on the title sequence there, but BAD acting from the Fielding. It's all the usual stuff 'Murder, death and misery await us etc.' She tells us who's on this 'ghost hunt' and it's 4 people I've never heard of. I'm of an age now where I've begun to appreciate the skills of Terry Wogan and never listen to Radio 1. Oh no, hang on. Scott Mills was on a MH in York. Rachel, Aled and 'Comedy' Dave from the breakfast show are the gullible fools who make up the numbers.
We're in Londons' darkest recesses apparently and will 'investigate' three locations, no doubt thoroughly and in a scientific manner.

Sitting in a taxi outside the first one is a 'body language expert' of all things. His name is Geoffrey Beattie and he seems to have a raisin for a head. He says Yvette is the source of fear. All fear? Well, in that long black coat she does resemble Pinhead from the Hellraiser films, I suppose.
The Fielding seems to have forgotten how she used to be when she started this charade years ago and is now bullying the simpletons into going off on their own.

Blimey! Someone just referred to The Fielding as the 'Queen of Ghosthunting.' which is better than being the 'Chicory Tip of Ghosthunting'. Oh, God no. She's doing a seance after having instruction from a professional medium in a room where the guide, Genial Jim, refuses to go into. Gone are the days when she made you think they were actually investigating a location. Now she's just messing about with party tricks which she's said she doesn't understand and trying to give the people she's with the heeby jeebies. Back in the taxi Raisin Boy tells us that the group see The Fielding as 'a protector,' what with her sending them off on their own and filling their tiny heads with spooky stories.

Aled has gone off to stand in a tunnel while the seance goes on and reports feeling cold. In a tunnel at night. Fascinating.
Thank God for that. It's a break, after which we're promised mass chaos. Hey, I'm looking forward to that.

Settling down for the second part I'm still reasonably optimistic about sitting through the whole thing and jauntily give the dog a tickle and make my wife Jeanette a cup of tea. The Fielding is now, according to the voice over, a 'ghost hunter extrordinaire' which is nice.

Rachel fondles the back of her head. Mills keeps quiet. 'Comedy' Dave hasn't spoken at all. Sigh.

Jeanette has pointed out that they couldn't even be bothered to have all the old EMF meters and the like, and have just given everyone a video camera. It appears that this is turning less and less into a pretend ghost hunt and is becoming an experiment on fear. Derren Brown would have done this so much better.

The Fielding seems to have been taking bitch lessons from Lesley Smith. She forces them all to take a camera and go off somewhere. Mills doesn't know how to work it and eventually manages to film the whole thing upside down. 'This is scary.' says Mills earnestly, while absolutely nothing happens.

Rachel joins Raisin Boy in the taxi. The engine isn't running but all the lights are on. Surely this will run the battery down.
I'm starting to regret stopping drinking.

'I want you to touch me.' says Mills. I s******. Then worry that I'm turning into Kenneth Williams. 'Comedy' Dave farts. Mills shouts 'Hello?' at his stopwatch.

Another break. Joy! Make Jeanette some ready brek. Tickle dog. Oh, sweet Jesus, there's another hour and a half to go.

Another seance but this time with a planchette and a dead airman from WW2. The Fielding asks if he was killed in friendly fire and gets an answer, but wasn't friendly fire a term coined in the second Gulf War? Meaning the airman would never have heard it? There's nobody to historically verify any of this stuff, we have to take The Fieldings' word for it all. Why did they get rid of Felix?

Rachel panics while nothing happens.

Hey, now. Something interesting! The Fielding has removed her finger from the planchette and it's still moving. I'm prepared on this occasion to accept that she's not pushing it and as Aled remarks later 'I would have suspected Yvette immediately.'
There is an 'overwhelming urge to flee', both there and here. She's lobbing marbles about now. Why is she obsessed with throwing marbles about? 'Comedy' Dave says he can't see. Well, no. It's dark, moron. Another Kenneth Williams moment as The Fielding tells Aled to get his marbles out. Rachels face feels heavy. It's terrible when you get a heavy face. You keep tipping over and if it goes unchecked you eventually need scaffolding. I'm bored now. How did Meerkat do this all the time? A break and there's still a whole hour to go.

Rachels' arms now feel heavy. Bless. Somebody says 'I don't want to be here.' Me either.

This would be much better if it was more like Ghost Hunt, the New Zealand one. No presenter as such and a couple of cameras. I liked that one.

We're treated to a selection of Fieldings' greatest hits, i.e. 'Did you hear that?',' I saw that!' and so on.

'Comedy' Dave makes a 'joke' at last, comparing the show to Bullseye. It's true. It's turning into a game show.

The Fielding has a new technique. Shouting obscenities at the spirits. Imagine for a moment a time when it's proven that spirits exist, and then how cheesed off they will be when Yvette 'crosses' and they can give her a spiritual pummelling. All the war heroes laying the boot in. The woman has no respect for anything any more.
Time is going backwards, we're still in the first location.

Cool. The guide for the next place, a Morris Finch, looks like Christopher Lee made out of Playdoh. It's Eastbury Manor where 'the gardens are drenched in doom', which isn't recommended by Alan Titchmarsh as it buggers up your roses. They make a big deal out of it being built in the year 666 for some reason and we go into yet another seance. Aled has a spasm. The Fielding begins the seance with 'Turn the lights off...NOW!'. which brings to mind 'Gladiators ready...' or 'Start the fans please.' It IS a game show. The next round is 'Scary Challenge' They feel cold. A wave of despair washes over me. I rub my arms.

They hear a moaning sound. It's the viewers around the country. The spirit of Jack Frost is upon them.

BREAK!

Aled claims the whole thing is 'proper scary.' No. No it isn't. It's a bunch of virtual unknowns sitting about in the dark. The voiceover says 'even the ordinary can be spooky,' all but saying outright that they accept it's a sham.

Scott Mills wants his relationship with the spirits to reach 'a more physical level' Kenneth. The Fielding, with her frock coat and new brutal demeanour, is slowly morphing into Anne Robinson.
Oh, happy day! Final break. Home stretch.

The final challenge involves them all going alone into a tunnel to retrieve a personal item. 'Comedy' Dave sings 'Could it be haunted?' Well, no. Not really. He farts once more. Nothing happens again.
This sort of show is like an addiction. You know you should go cold turkey but think that just a little bit can't hurt, then you realise there's a part of your life you'll never get back.
Voice over 'It's been a long night for our four.' And for anyone watching mate.

And that was it. Not even a sniff of any actual ghost hunting, just scaring some idiots.
They seem to have given up trying.

I've watched some of it on Youtube and it's decent viewing. I've only given it time because of the Radio One connection. I never take these shows seriously because Derren Brown inadvertantly exposed them all for what they are - psychological game shows. So it's hard to sympathise with the fear because it's the minds own doing. But there were some funny bits and no one really came off looking bad, except maybe Rachel a little.

[dgellis0907]

Well done to you all...
id like to think that i could handle such an event easily!
but i just couldnt.

i mean you were all very brave, but aled, you and scott shone through!

i would give rachel a load of rep if she was on here for that final scream. yvettes face was a picture!!

cant wait for your return visit!

[bbb]

if anyone was wacting the ghost hunting thing with radio one most of what console was proven there as before they were left alone they were fed tales of what goes on in the place like eg room one peole always report being hit and haveing a real sickly feeling and the way the infomation was gave to them by the people eg the 1st guy when teling the team what happned was useing his voice louder than normal and he wore a look of being terrifed and near crying when telling aled and all what happnes in the rooms

tho ild like to think that there was something else there as well like when they trew the mables soz i was ment to type this ages ago and the way yvette was teling them things she seemed to be trying to scare them as well
i loved the show tho
