Davina Mcall hasn't read 1984...

[geminisnake]

I dunno if I've read 1984. Maybe I did at school.

Does it matter??

I read Animal Farm if that helps

I think, seeing as the programme she fronts has bastardised Orwell's legacy so hideously, that the reading of the source material would have been a good thing, yes.

Neither have I <slinks away in shame>

Fairy nuff. I don't watch tv much so no idea she is/was fronting something other than that reality cack, or is this more reality cack?

Not you, that McCall character

That reality cack is very loosely based on (or it might be better to say inspired by) Big Brother from 1984.

I haven't a clue about what anyone else is going on about in this thread.

my brain is being wrong.

 

[Sadken]

It's scary how many people there are I want to burn. What's one more?

 

[DotCommunist]

ElectroGirl vs El Jefe, a series of hard-hitting discussions done over the rotting leg of El Jefe with Electrogirl wearing ever more bizarre frocks.

I'd watch it

I can't be arsed to read this thread but am confused as to why it's so shocking

She's got a bomb.

After nearly 10 years of Big brother for some stupid reason I assumed those involved would know about what Big Brother actually meant in terms of 20th Century Literature. But it would seem I'm wrong. Of course Ignorance is Bliss.

Up until this post I was thinking that she must be presenting Room 101 now, or for a comic relief special...

I have read 1984.

I do try to block Big Brother from my mind and sight though.

You surely mean 'Ignorance Is Strength', comrade...

And the work, indeed, the very indentity of William Shakespeare would probably be completely beyond her, poor lamb.

 

[Scrus]

she would be totally confused

william shakespeare who the fuck is william shakespeare

Not knowing who Davina thingy is I checked on the interwhatsit. Having read various articles and seen her on YouTube my heart warms to her. What she has done is made a good living despite the circumstances she found herself in as a child. She has not been forced to work on a supermarket checkout - good for her. She has expressed herself within the media. She has pulled herself up out of her background financially by dint of cheek and impertinence. That is the equivalent of talent in the world she inhabits. What she does to earn her crust would not appeal to most of us.

If she has not read or seen a film version or some part of 1984 which is fairly unlikely, then that is no problem. She knows about Big Brother and the programme is not nearly as bad as the one in the book or even the one that is planned for us by the current government.

 

[Scrus]

i personally don't give a fuck about her good luck story, I would rather be friends with people who work in a supermarket than friends with her. I don't admire her in any way.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

Mcall not knowing who Holden Colefield is I can cope with. In fact if she doesn't know who Guy Crouchback is too I don't have a problem. It not like she has been presenting 'Sword of Honour Live' on channel 4 for all these years.

[rover07]

No... saw the film.

Shit.

Congrats on your unthink.

OI! What are you still doing here?

I sent the Thought Police after you in a previous page and you're still here.

*Stomps away, muttering furiously about there never being a Thought Policeman around when you want one*

 

[rover07]

Davina was great in Streetmate... have been a fan ever since.

 

[Scrus]

i just hate how people like her keep regurgitating this myth that anyone can be successful and wealthy, when in reality only about 1 in a million is able to do that, i don't admire her at all, i just think shes some kind of gimp
