SUMMARY

Exactly as the title says - a look at the 100 most embarrassing moments in British television history.

CAPSULE REVIEW

More tedious talking heads nonsense as c-list celebs get their hour in the spotlight to sneer at television's most ridiculous moments. They were presumably hoping that we'd all laugh along with them, impressed by their pithy observations and cutting criticisms. Had they bothered to make any and not just sneer knowingly instead we might well have done...
