Dirty Tricks

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Not long after Balls of Steel had finished, there was this show all about daredevil people who perform dirty tricks. There were many interesting magic trick performers, stunt men, and some just idiotic to do somethings like they did. These included Barry Jones and Stuart MacLeod performing nearly impossible magic tricks and killing Neil Fox in new ways, Jonathan Goodwin the escapologist (who came back with Death Wish Live), Binde Johal with Rajan Rajput the evil hypnotist, Alistair Cook and Pete Firman. Guests on this show were Big Brother 5 winner Nadia Almada, Kim Woodburn and Aggie MacKenzie, Myleene Klass, John McCririck, Spoons' Josie D'Arby, Debbie McGee, Zoë Ball, Steve Jones, Celebrity Big Brother's Caprice Bourret, Coronation Street's Lucy-Jo Hudson, Penn Jillette and Sarah Cawood. Also every week they replaced the guest host with a new animal and voice, they were Stephen Fry as an Owl, Mark 'Bez' Berry as a Lemur, Jo Brand as a Pug, Nick Frost as a Monkey, Peep Show's David Mitchell and June Whitfield as a Persian Cat. I doubt they'll bring it back, but here's hoping. Very good!
