| Shock treatment from Sky |
|
Forget about I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, Sky News put one of its own reporters through a Bush Tucker-style trial today - with excruciating results.
In the name of research, reporter Derek Tedder was zapped with a Taser, the police stun gun which has been linked with a number of fatalities in the US. And his shock conclusion? It's bleedin' painful. "It's like someone ramming you with a bed of very sharp nails over your entire body," said Tedder. "I couldn't do anything but fall to the floor." And swear a lot, given the hasty addition of the good old bleep machine. His Sky News bosses were obviously impressed, and are currently running the video about once every five minutes. A Donal MacIntyre-style series - Tedder Undercover? - can only be a commissioning round away.
