do you have a telly William?

**DrAndy** · 27-09-2007, 04:41 PM

I was recently in Portugal; they have a late night telly show calleed "fiel o infiel", which translates into "faithful or unfaithful"

the show consists of setting someones partner up to see if they get naughty in the given situation - like a job interview. They get offered the dream job with good money. The conversation progresses, drinks are offered and eventually you get to see the participants (the set-up partner and some actor) get their clothes off.

The partner who did the setting up is in the studio watching the taped replay, and all their appalling squirming and anger, sadness or hate is well televised. At the end, the other partner is brought on and a fight usually ensues with lots of screaming and kicking. This happens even if the partner was not tempted by the job/actor and does not fall.

They usually have two set-ups per show, one of each sex.

wonderful misuse of TV

Hancock was a radio show

It was only when Sid James came along they needed to put it on TV

Actually, he [Hancock] did himself in Aus. Not a good sign
