Insane in the MTV-brane
That's Mental!
MTV Blacks, Friday, 9.30pm
MTV puts the question in questionable-taste with a new gameshow based around the world's two most favourite mads, Britney spears and Paul Gascoigne.
Host Fern Britton asks deliberately obtuse and complex questions designed to confuse and harm the fragile minds of both Spears and Gazza.
Whoever is reduced to sobbing first is the loser and has to drink and pill themselves into yet more psychological turmoil for the delectation of the watching teenage audience.
Meet the contestants
Britney Spears
MTV says: "Britney's going through a really kooky phase right know which 14% of our 12-18 year old female demographic said they really found fun. We really hope to harness her potential as a Phoebe-from-friends pop madam.
Dr Henk Drinkle, University of California Brunswick Center For Psychology says - "Ms Spears should be heavily medicated and not approached".
Paul "Gazza" Gascoigne
MTV says: "Playful, wacky and extrovert - Gazza's been mental all his life (now it's just official). We really think hebring a lot of surreal energy to this project"
Paul Gust, Bellboy at the Gateshead Hilton Hotel says - "He was taking to his suitcase. He's gone".
