Holy shit does anyone else see a huge problem with filming a fucking reality show in an E.R? Distracting and intruding upon medical professionals doing their jobs when lives are at stake to make a TV show? Thats absurd!
You misspelled "American".

Of course, with the NHS there is a general feel good factor in that we get to see our tax money being used to do good. Indeed I have seen criticisms of 24 Hours in A&E that because it generally shows the NHS is a positive light and as the NHS is pretty unashamedly a socialist endeavor that shows likes this are politically biased!

I mean honestly, how mentally challenged do you have to be to think any organization is going to enter an agreement like that and not set restrictions on the tone.
Would you willingly let someone into your house to film you without them agreeing to make you look good? Would you agree if they told you they were going to cut it so all the audience sees is you arguing with your wife and kids?
So it's either going to be positive or not exist, and that's not because it's the NHS.
TV is shit. we all know it. we all say it when we want to sound cultured. whenever i hear someone expressing shock at content or attaching specific cultures to TV themes i must always wonder at the size of the rock they live under.
However, I have never owned a TV — though, yes Jules, I am aware that there is an invention called television, and that , on that invention, they show shows.
Also, for my own curiosity, could you actually name the French show you were referring to?
Not only am I bad at joking, it seems I am also bad at apologizing for it.
Sorry HN.
