    Presented by ex Bev Hills 90210 Shannon Doherty.
    Anyone seen this?
    Think it was on Sky One a while ago... but they seem to be showing repeats late at night.
    It's the craziest "hidden camera prank" show I've ever seen.

    One guy (victim) was starting new job as repo man... goes to dodgy guys house where him and colleague (actor) have to get back TV/DVD player and big freezer.
    The colleague mentions on way that the repo company already sent someone to this guys place, but he never came back.. he joked that he must have resigned or something.
    Anyway... 2 guys enter house... actor tells victim to get freezer from basement and clear it out, while he gets TV etc...
    Victim in basement.. hear's shouting and swaring etc.. guy who owns hose is acting all weird.
    Victim opens freezer and sees cut up body (amazing gore special FX) with company overalls still on body.
    Victim freaks out... nearly starts convulsing on the floor and he bends over in shock..... at this point, the actor runs in "Are you scared??? are ya scared??? you should be!! You're on scare tactics!!!!"

    One of the funniest ones has to be this guy!!

    It can be funny at times, but does no-one else thinks some of the pranks are a bit sick. I mean I wouldn't like to set my friends up to think he/she was about have their throat slit!

    Yeah unbelievable. "Do you need help little man?" Although that was so over the top it nearly looks like he was acting.

    aye, they can go overboard. i have vague memories of an episode where someone thought his friend was shot dead by the police after he ran from them

    Its a great show to watch.

    I remember watching one where a guy thought he'd shot someone by mistake and killed them, and one in a restaurent where a guys friend complained of stomach ache, fell onto the floor and his stomach burst open...

    Great fx, hugely enjoyable watch, but can't be too great for the prankee's...

    Terrible show,just terrible. It is not funny,I presume it is supposed to be,but its just not. I enjoy hidden camera shows that are well done,they can be funny,but this show blows. Not only do the "pranks" come off as lame and unfunny,if someone pulled one of these pranks on me I'd hit them...hard. I saw one where they made this guy believe his friend had just been stabbed in the stomach a few times....right in front of him. funny? not really.
