    Spoof or real ?

    Anyone see that program over the weekend about the african tribesman who came to the UK and stayed with a couple of different families to experience UK. I watched it for a while and it seemed serious but then they kept focusing in on the fact this tribe thought 'Prince Philip' was some kind of god to them. It through me a bit couldnt tell if this was just a good spoof or geniune. ? What was it ?

      African? You weren't watching very closely at all were you?

      It is genuine as far as I can tell... http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/t...e_natives.html

        Cheers I just couldnt tell if it was a spoof or not, espially when they took them to the gay club, they had a sit down family mean of 'KFC' and also when that the day of family got all emotional.

          I just wonder if they're going to issue their equivalent of a fatwah on Al Fayed for accusing Prince Phil of offing Diana.
