    Tv last night - Secret Millionaire

    Did anyone watch this show last night?
    I have been talking about watching it at work this morning, and can't stop thinking about it. A wonderful gesture of (seemingly) altruism at work. Really heartwarming, like watching "It's a wonderful life" but for real.
    I'm commenting on an internet forum. Your facts hold no sway over me.

    When it launches on Channel 4 next month, the show will take five millionaire, would-be philanthropists and force them to live undercover for 10 days on the equivalent of state benefit or doing a menial job for the minimum wage in some of the most deprived areas of Britain.

    At the end of the period, during which they are expected to get out and about in the community under the guise of appearing in a TV show that swaps the rural poor for the city poor, they decide which individuals deserve their money.

    i've seen trailers for this, and really like the idea. It is their own money they are giving to people as well as opposed to C4s money.

    I'll probably end up missing all 5 shows, but hay ho

    Looks to me like a heartwarming tale of people looking good while giving their money away to the "aww bless lickle poor kiddywinks".

    People who give their money and time annonymously get my respect.

    In fact last week I was insulted at work by a guy who said I should have put my pennies from the canteen in the collection tub. I let him rant for a while, nodding and agreeing. I actually save those pennies and give them to The White Lodge a hospice for the severley disabled where my friend now lives, he still mentions it now everytime we are there but I have not yet had the heart to tell him, other people know because I have helped them before.
