I'm just watching the "secret" millionaire on TV, but it seems setup, its not the first time I've watched a lot of TV programs recently and thought 'that just wouldn't happen'.

For example the rich guy is walking down the street and he shouts to 5 youths, "alright guys, whats this area like....." They reply in a friendly manner "it's great but there's nothing for us to do at night so we drink etc"
They all had the same response, nobody questions the fact that theres a fooking great big camera filming them.

EVERY single person on this program probably around 10 has had the hardest life in the world but has "done there bit".

It HAS to be set up!

 

think some a naturally preworked to a degree, but have seen some where lads on the street are proper agro about being filmed.

thing is, after the first series, anyone going into a place witha camera crew are going to be treated like royalty lol!!

 

Ye suppose, but come on everybodies going to be the same then aren't they. The guy gave them Ł75k though so it obviously worked!

 

Defo set up... when they did the one in Dundee, the producers rang a community centre that my sister occasionally works in to ask about what they did etc.. and they weren't trying to hide the fact that they were calling about the secret millionaire.

The example with the youths makes it obvious, if some posh guy asked a bunch of youths in a really shite part of town what the area was like then he'd likely get mugged or stabbed in real life.
