Anyone watch Afraid Of The Dark on Channel 4? 12:39 - Apr 25 with 1052 viewsThe_Flashing_Smile

I initially thought "oh god, another boring 'celeb' show for the dumb" but after my mum praised it to the hilt we decided to give it a watch, and it was a genuinely interesting/entertaining experiment.

No spoilers, but Chris Eubank has serious issues... and Gazza (and blind comedian Chris McCausland) come out of it fantastically. Quite emotional actually. So good to see Gazza looking relatively well despite all he's been through (in some ways I'm surprised he's still alive). He seemed to be genuinely battling his demons, positively, in there.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Saw a trailer Sunday, saw McCausland's name thought, but he's blind! Is he there as a helper?

Really?

My Mrs was watching it and I sort of watched a bit because Eubank was on it. I thought Eubank simply got pissed off because he was surrounded by idiots (blind guy excepted). I love Gazza but all he was doing was talking sh1te.

Eubank quite rightly pulled him up and told him to talk like a champion rather than a deadbeat.

I watched it thinking I should and would hate it. In the end it was brilliant, compelling trash TV. Whoever cast it deserves an award. It wouldn't have been half as good without Chris Mccausland, and Gazza must have given his public profile a massive boost. He came across as a broken, flawed human with a heart of gold. Eubank however seems like he really needs help

How do you talk like a champion? Ignore any problems and carry on with deluded confidence?

He then talked about bulk buying calpol because he thought he could get a hit - and then cracking one off after meeting Margaret Thatcher.

And you point the finger at Eubank???

Eubank behaved like a petulant child at times. His own inflated sense of superiority just made him come across like a douchebag

You're correct, but it gets better (and Eubank goes off the rails whilst Gazza starts opening up more).

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

I wondered how that works as it's not really a challenge so much for him. But it was really interesting how the roles reversed from the real world, the playing field was levelled and he became the one they relied on. He's also the sensible one/voice of reason in there.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Someone needs to explain to Eubank that wearing glasses in total darkness won't help you see any better. Also quoting T. E Lawrence doesn't make him come across as intelligent just makes him seen like a pretentious tvvat
