UKTV Style, one of those massively-watched satellite television channels, is launching an internet-only reality show called Watching Paint Dry. Viewers can watch a different colour paint drying each day, a pastime that the channel reckons will put less engaging reality television shows like, say, Big Brother 5, in their place. Sneak is not sure why the channel bothered to commission something that is, presumably, supposed to be tedious in the extreme, given that it already broadcasts re-runs of Flog It, House Invaders, Bargain Hunt and Ground Force. Also, having watched a bit of both WPD and BB5, Sneak has to say that the contestants on BB5 appear to have the edge on a coat of matt magnolia when it comes to being dull and two-dimensional. Sneak has therefore decided to abandon TV and read something endlessly inventive and full of surprises instead. Like, say, Microsoft's licensing terms.
