If anyone missed it yesterday and is interested,the launch show is being repeated on E4 now

I thought I was watching a repeat of blakes 7 last night

They are doing links for supposed Russian TV channels. KL2 and KL6.
They really have absolutely no idea what is going on. 'Cap Com' is pushing things further for each ad and they are just going along with it all.

Just looked on E4 and their 'live' link is a long way behind the sat link I'm watching. I think I have the raw feed which beens uncensored.
I wondered the other night why they were showing the cadets with subtitles with the swearing marked out when I could hear every word.

Now if only this feed was available for other shows.

Johnney is behaving tonight.
Just saw the phoney recording next to the sim where he just mouthes for 40 secs after which they will go to an ad break. During the playback in the show they will have subtitles.

Now have the best of both worlds set-up with two sat receivers so have the Raw feed on one tv and the Johnney and Alex show on the main one.

Yes,I know it's the corniest joke on earth but

Well I missed this last night!!!!!!!!

Was crying with laughter...

Yes I know its the oldest gag(no pun intended)...butPMSL!!!!

Paul nearly gets Charlie in knots but the actor draws on his skills to worm himself out of trouble

Fulfilling his proper job role, Charlie is doing his utmost to keep the cadets flying two feet above ground for as long as possible

The actor almost got himself into an awkward situation when asked by Paul, "What do you think about the programme"

His response was, "I think it's quite brave and gives people an extraordinary experience".

Still keeping things under wraps he added, "We've had an extraordinary thing done to us and it'll take a while for the whole thing to make sense"

The actor had previously stated that he was getting a bit fed up with the farce but did a sterling job in keeping the other cadets on the straight and narrow "Flight" path.

When the cadets do eventually realise what they have experienced, they may realise that there was a jigsaw there waiting to be pieced together.

In the meantime, the shuttle continues to go where no unsuspecting member of the public has gone before...nowhere! Ch4

I watched this for the first time last night and thought it was blinkin' hilarious. I can't work out if the jokes on us or them but it's very good. I wish I'd watched it from the start now. Very good viewing

Somebody give Charlie his own show, the mans a comic genius

This is the brilliant!Like HC I can't really decide of we are being hoodwinked by a bunch of actors or if they really are falling for the tacky set,lack of altitude sickness,fake gravity simulators Surely if anyone was contemplating a mission into space they'd do some research first?Just shows what you can convince people to believe

Viewers of the new Channel 4 show Space Cadets fell to 2 million last night.

The heavily-marketed reality show had been pulling in an audience average of 2.5 million.

At its launch last Wednesday, Space Cadets, fronted by Johnny Vaughan, was seen by an average of 2.6 viewers, and a peak of 2.9 million.

The heavily-marketed reality show had been pulling in an audience average of 2.5 million.

At its launch last Wednesday, Space Cadets, fronted by Johnny Vaughan, was seen by an average of 2.6 viewers, and a peak of 2.9 million.

Its 9pm to 10pm slot usually pulls in an average of 2.6 million viewers.

Last night was the reality hoax show`s worst weekday performance - figures had already dipped to 1.2 million at the weekend.

But Channel 4 said it was "not disappointed" by the performance of the show, which is reported to have cost the broadcaster £5 million.

A spokeswoman said: "The audience has stayed loyal. They`ve stayed pretty consistent.

"This is what Channel 4 is about. It was always going to be a brave show to do.

"It`s an innovative programme that has never been done before.

"In terms of ratings we`re doing fine. We are pulling in the slot average. It`s not a Big Brother type show."

Space Cadets has been watched by the crucial 16- to 34-year-old market feted by advertisers, with nearly half of its viewers, 42%, of this age.

The format, in which contestants are hoaxed into believing they are going into space, has fuelled conspiracy theories about whether it is really the viewers who are being set up.

The show, which ends on Friday, was beaten by programmes on all the main channels last night.

The concluding episode of ITV1`s two-part thriller Secret Smile attracted 6.2 million viewers between 9pm and 10.30pm.

Crimewatch UK on BBC1 was watched by 4.7 million viewers and Five`s CSI: Miami drew 2.8 million viewers.

BBC2`s Magnificent 7, a drama starring Helena Bonham Carter, was watched by 2.3 million.

The last series of Channel 4`s Big Brother averaged 6.7 million viewers.

They saw beleive the Richard and Judy message they just got. And the comments from the 'pilots' about them being Mother and Son and continuing along the lines that Judy is too old for tv will really go down well.

Oh and if they show it Paul messing about around 2am this morning making paper captions and planting them on Charlie. Then Charlie waking up telling Paul to go to sleep.
Last I saw Paul was writing poetry (this morning).

Compulsive viewing.
If they had done any research or had any interest in space travel it would have been rumbled days ago.

Thats why I'm wondering if the jokes on the public.Surely nobody would have embarked on this if they didnt have some interest and knowledge about space travel

Well they have just been shown a Hurricane in the South Atlantic now I'm wondering if they have some mind games planned ? I'm thinking like how would the cadets react if they thought it might be tracking towards the UK ?
I think it would be really cruel for them to do this I wouldn't put it passed them.

I'm also wondering how they are going to simulate the landing ?
They are going to need to have the shield down so seeing the land appear but before that they have to simulate re-entery with extra heat and the Plasma glow and lots of buffering in the upper atmosphere.
I think the landing will be harder to create than the take off.

Does anybody know when due to end time wise ? I think it's Saturday ? But when ?
