Most reality TV programmes tends to provide us with a platform to laugh and ridicule at people put on for our very own entertainment.

I caught the last two episodes of Famous, Rich and Homeless from the BBC. It was very interesting.

It showed some celebrities, although I wouldn't say they were A listers, put onto the street and experiencing the lives of the homeless. It had the involvement of John Bird the creator of the Big Issue who himself lived that life previously.

A flashpoint in the series centred around when the celebrities came back from being on the streets and John Bird raised the issue that they were trying too hard to fix the homeless people's problems in 3 days. This didn't go down well with the actor that plays Les Battersby in Corination Street or Annabel Croft.

and a Packet of Crisps, is back on TV.

Just flicking through the TV I am always pleasantly surprised by the sensitivity and emotion of the deeds carried out in the Secret Millionaire. Always very touching and with a story that connects.

Once finished I then spot the Dragon's Den and have no desire to watch it whatsoever. That kind of TV is only there to see people squirm or make people squirm for entertainment.

A tale of two stories. One showing the good that money can do and the other just showing greed and arrogance.
