They don't seem too discouraged, judging by last night's BBC offering in the genre.

For your average chavver/chavette the heady mix of cheap booze, cold air, blue falshing lights and a Sky camera is all too much. They think it could be a chance to become the new Jade Goody/Lotto lout and out come the breasts/fists/four letter words.

I agree tony but they also have the shame of having their bloated faces on national TV swearing and acting like scum for all to see.

The narrator is Lee Boardman. He played a gay bloke in Drop Dead Gorgeous and he was in Coronation Street.

Don't know why I know that.

He was also in the excellent HBO series Rome

Looks like they are lacking a decent Jock vocal resource. Might give that a try. Must be better than this IT malarkey

I like it when they focus on the police in Belfast, driving around in their armoured jeeps and being constantly pelted with bricks and fireworks. It's quite frightening, really.

The guy's name is Lee Boardman. He's like the hard man of voice over.

Looking at his CV (http://www.vocalpoint.net/narration/mvo/) is like staring at the hardest hard thing you can think of.

But his photo gives the game away that he's just a big soft poof.

For me its his slang that I find amusing-


'Giving it legs'-- to run off from the police

'Monkeying' -Trying to climb over an object to evade police

etc etc etc

Or scum on the run as I like to call it. Got to admit I really like these shows, not just to see chav scum get served steaming plates of rough justice but also for the narrator, does anyone know who the guy is, sounds like he's from Manchester.

I agree with you though, they 'ban' a chav from driving for 2 years for nicking a car and causing havoc and give him 20 hrs community service.....do you really think banning a car thief from driving the answer!

Give them something constructive to do.

I notice a few rehabilitated chavs on your YouTube video. Perhaps football coaching is the answer.

Those shows get me shouting at the telly in full grumpy old man mode. The chavs who get picked seem to get a caution or a £50 fine. This dispite the fact that they wasted the time of say 5 coppers including 2 farting about in a helicopter. I'd add up the hourly rate of all the coppers and make the fine be that plus a bit more.

What would be the point? They'd never pay the fine!

I was watching one recently where they were chasing a car when I noticed it was my bloody street ! Its was during the day so must of missed it being at client site and all that, you could even see my car on the drive.
